I'm planning on doing a west to east crossing of the Simpson in about 12 months. My current vehicle is a 100 series petrol - in standard form - apart from an OME suspension upgrade. I have travelled over 100k's of bitumen and sometimes dirt road - plenty h'way, strez, Oodnadatta and some others. So I have a reasonable handle on what the fuel consumption is under these conditions.

The unknown is the conditions - sand - of the Simpson.

The vehicle will have 4 occupants, and loaded to the max with whatever is necessary, including a roof rack with second spare. I've read all the treks notes, which are enormously helpful.

Is there anyone out there that has done the same trip, in the same vehicle?

Appreciate your comments and feedback,
Brian
