Good day all
Heres 3 short Canning Stock route video clips during our 2009 trip ,
The onboard clip was taken on sand hill country prior to well 12 and the tyre pressures were 35 fronts and 40 rears and it was starting to be a struggle.
The next 2 clips were taken after pressures were reduced to 22psi fronts and 28 rears,as you can see the wheel tracks are quite deep but the reduced pressures allow the tyres to float on the surface this lifts the diff banjos giving clearance no more drag.
We stayed at these pressures for the duration of the Canning journey that year, the tyres were Hankook AH11s front and rears a highway pattern and we did the top half of the Canning a couple of years later with the Hankooks on the front and Toyos on the rear,with this combination and similar pressures our traction on the steeper dunes was better and a few areas of rain allowed us to continue most of the time.
At this point in time we had LSD on the rears only, I have now fitted an LSD unit to the front axle and that has allowed us to go pretty well anywhere we please off road with the mixed tyre combination
Cheers Dave
