Cape York: Would you take a nav with 250 000ks on it??

[tommy222220_0]

Did the cape this year although my d22 only has 110k on her.

Drove old tele track (both ways), frenchmans, creb, etc, only busted out the winch to rescue others/ remove trees.

It gets pretty windy on the eastern side of the cape, found the western side much better wind wise, much better fishing without a 30knot sou-easter.

Take it easy and you'll have a ball.

My D22 isn't far off those km's.

It's ready to go to the tip for sure....

I'd take mine as it is. Maybe with better tires and a canopy. Just for space. And Tyres cause these do not work in the rain.
Haha

Dont you worry, she'll drag a D40 home everytime. Lol.

Maybe replace your original clutch first...
But I'm sure it'd do it

 

[Dave]

My clutch still plenty of bite.

240,000km's. Like to see a D40 match that.

 

[FatBoy89]

They're pushing 20,000km at the moment. Replaced a Thai built this week 11,000km.

 

[Dave]

Whats the clutches in the 2012 models like ?

Still the same shitty DMF ?

 

[FatBoy89]

Yep! No changes to the model yet, "revised" pressure plate apparently..

 

[Dave]

In other words, still the same heap of crap clutch.

 

[FatBoy89]

It looks prettier upon removal?
Plain and simple. Yes. Still the same

I reckon I could get my wife's Astra up there, no joke.

Sucker bet. You could drive anything up there that could handle the water crossings. In any case, the big water crossing has a ferry across it and the Old Telegraph Track is optional.

If you are doing the OTL, muddies or new ATs and a bit of under body protection. Just not overload it, there were a few tip trucks when I went through, overloaded and with air bags.
