Central Australia Tour - June / July 2014

[Dave]

Hi "Nuclear"

If that is true, your JK shouldn't need any fuel at all haha!

If you can send me a PM with your email address, I can send you a copy of the Itinerary, which has all my suggestions for mods/equipment/spares/stuff that you should need. If you are at the club meeting on Wednesday I will have copies with me and am happy to have a chat.

In brief, your car needs a comprehensive service - the trip is 7500km or so, lots of dirt, and some will be rough! If you break down, recovery and repairs will be very expensive!

I'd recommend having light truck construction all terrain tyres, or muddies if that's what you've got. We will be driving on gibber (sharp rocks) and these hold up much better than passenger construction (stock) road tyres. I have LT All Terrains and I will have 6 wheels and tyres with me just in case.

It never hurts to have aftermarket suspension, but a stock JK should be okay for clearance.

And seriously - fuel - you need carry enough to to go 500km in high range at least.

Hope to hear from you by PM or at the meeting.

Dave
