What is your Pathy and Auto or Manual ? Mine was a manual and as I said I carried a extra 60lts of fuel and did the ring route and still had 40lts in the tank at Birdsville. There is also a lot of flat ground between sand dunes that if you are concerned you are flick the switch back into 2wd.

You should be fine

HI Vern
auto deisel but not the 550
will go for another spin in the sand and check fuel use
over a half days driving will try a mix of flat and bigger sandhills
have read some post where they recon the pathy can chew through 20+ltr/100 in sand depends on the caneing your giving it off course
get 8- 9ltrs/100 sitting on 90ks (which is near 100ks according to the speedo )on the black stuff ,once get over 100ks looking at 10.5+
thanks

I've used alloy racks for over 20 years of 4Wding, including the CSR numerous times and lots of extreme off road touring, and never had any breakages or cracking problems.
In all of my travels I've never seen any one else with alloy rack probs either.

cheers

thanks for feedback
