I concurr with NormC's comments. I just checked to see what your unit was and if you have the outback/offroad
suspension you'll be sweet. If not then it would be wise in the long term to have a
suspension upgrade. Being prepared with an extra set of hubs with top grade bearings fitted is a smart move also.
The GRR is a good country road that sometimes (a lot) gets pretty corrugated. Lowered tyre pressures takes a lot of strain off the
suspension & what it's carrying. It's awesome country and worth taking the time to see it, but taking your time is the secret.
It's worth remembering that when they grade a road lots of crap and sharp rocks get rolled out to the edges and can tear the side out of a tyre, as tempting as the smooth road edges can be they also hide expensive trouble.
Contacting the local tourism offices at
Derby and
Wyndham can be helpful for current road conditions.
I'm sure you wont regret making the trip & if you can get time go up
Cape Leveque it's a sensational but you must book the Kooljaman
camp area ahead to be able to stay there.
Best of luck and safe travells.
