How is the width and overhanging tree situation up the Renolds
River Track from the
Daly River Rd?
We intend to take our Isuzu FTS800 Camper up there early next season. I'm not worried about washouts or road conds as it will put most 4wd vehicles to shame off road. Just curious about the physical size of the truck.
From a couple of youtube videos I watched from a few years ago there may be a couple of tight squeezes. Has anyone with a larger vehicle done it this season?

Hi Dave. I haven't done it in an FTS (had to look it up) but have in a dual cab (season before last). I am reluctant to be a nay sayer, but I reckon it would be pretty tight, especially crossing the Reynolds itself. Coming from the Daly Rd end, exiting the RR crossing sees a 90 degree left turn out of the river and up a bank. I'm not sure you'd have sufficient turning circle.
It's a fairly busy track too with plenty of oncoming traffics, and not a lot of room to pull over. It's usually one of the last tracks to open, sometimes not til July, and it's already getting pretty wet up here.
I'd suggest you do it as its a great track with lots of changing scenery, and if need be you can turn around if it is looking a bit tight.

Thanks,
What was the dual cab that you did it in?
