Hi, I'm a new member and I'm heading across the
Gibb River and
Kalumburu Roads in a month's time. I have an old Nissan Navara dual cab and would appreciate advice on the following: 1 - The tyres I have on are 1/2 tread worn Toyo Tranpath radials. Are they up to the task or should I replace them, if so -what with? There are so many tyres on the market. 2 - Does a Navara have sufficient ground clearance to be categorised as "High clearance 4WD" as it has been a big wet and river levels could be high? 3 - any useful advice from Navara owners who have done the trip. Thanks, Bill.

Bill, I have no idea what Tranpath tyres are although Toyo seem to have a good name - however - just to be on the safe side and to think about the savings it may be wise to get a set of coopers / bf goodrich / bridgestones / or whatever but proper a/t rated before you go - if you do need to replace somewhere in the
kimberley it will be at far greater expense than
darwin. the road may be freshly graded and like a hwy - it may be not graded at all and therefore like a normal w.a. road (ha ha ha) - there should not be a problem with any water levels in a months time and your navara will be adequate for the trip. enjoy the area and try to get off the g/r road and see the other
places as
well. rgds
