no worries brad.
I was referring earlier of the road between Wangoolab Crk on the western side and Central.
That said, I would have no hesitation in towing to
Eurong and back, there is a soft patch a few ks shy of
Eurong that may require a little momentum, and a soft slightly uphill corner, while heading west (then again everything depends on the weather and amount of traffic.)
As for typre pressures, yep, I just leave them, but i'll usually only do say 70 on
the beach if its a hot day, (32x11.5 tyres) remember that the worst parts are getting on and off
the beach, I can't see the point of mucking around lowering and raising, when a slight drop in speed makes it work just fine.
Every second person who has trouble has either not deflated their tyres at all, or have only done about 10 seconds per tyre.
If its high tide and i need to use the old mining road, i'll travel at a max of about 30km/hr with tyres that low.
Some may disagree with this philosophy or advice, that is fine, i can live with criticism. But in my more than 70 trips to Fraser, (15 last year) and numerous ventures to
Rainbow, and the bottomless sand of Kinkuna, i can say confidently that i am being friendlier to my truck, my passengers and most importantly to the environment.
