Very first obstacle showing why skinny tires suck. Why do ones would have had more track and not been so risky to slide in. When I say wider it doesn't mean 12.5" but more like 11-11.5. I found it to be true that a medium wider Tire can do anything a skinny can do but a skinny can't do anything the other one can do at least as well so why take a skinny when it has limitations but the why doesn't? That's why you never see extremely successful Jeep Wranglers on lockers with skinnies because I don't do as well. But I think people are obsessed with this traditional thought that skinny is better cuz it's old school and that a skinnier area gives more pressure to the ground but that's only to an extent it also just makes it want to dig into the ground more instead of pushing over the surface and digging just the right amount like 11 to 115 width. Take for example a dirt bike or an ATV and you look how wide their tires are compared to how much they weigh and you see that skinnies shouldn't even be on a 5,000 lb SUV. Yeah it'll make it but not as good

@@kevinslifeonthefarm2463 It was pretty much as expected really. We went there looking for adventure and we found it. We'd done tonnes of research so we knew what to expect and had good plans plus good back-up plans. We weren't expecting to drown a vehicle where we did but we recovered it safely and everyone was able to continue the trip. It's always hard juggling lots of competing priorities and traveling styles but everyone had signed off on the trip plan beforehand and we'd done a few test trips with that specific group so we knew everyone would get on reasonably well. We got pretty lucky with the weather and did almost everything we planned to do which was a blessing. The most unexpected thing was having a wheel bearing seize on the camper coming back down from the Tip and having a wheel come off destroying the axle. We ended up being stuck for 5 days in Bamaga. Managed to get creative with the insurance and lodged the claim via phone but got permission to do the repairs ourselves and submit the full claim later. While that meant paying for everything up front, it was the only way to get back on the road quickly. Contacted the camper manufacturer and found out that they got their shafts from a supplier in QLD. Called that supplier and paid them extra to make one up next day and ship it. Had it airfreighted to Bamaga and installed 4 days after the accident. The guy who used to own and operate Bamaga spares (Andy) was a lovely guy and did everything he could to help but had told me it would take two weeks to get parts organised, sent and installed. I told him I'd have it sorted in less than a week and he bet me a case of beer I couldn't do it so ended up with a nice case of coldies for the next leg ;) Andy also used to run a local shipping service and told me if I ever wanted a job to call 😂 The Old Coach Road was more challenging than expected and pretty stressful towing a camper. We did the western leg which is now closed. It's very hard going and there's no option but to go slow and steady or you'll just destroy your car and camper. We had to skull drag the camper off a few big ledges on that leg snapping our jockey wheel off and damaging the support legs but we got through and managed to find work arounds. The bigger shock was getting back to Cairns to find out the ABS module had burned out due to the brake line breakage and they wanted $5k to replace it. That a story for another time though :)

We did have a Grenadier on order mate but cancelled it after issues with parts avails and ongoing technical updates were apparent. Just couldn't justify the risk with a brand new vehicle from a brand new manufacturer for remotes travel in Oz. In the meantime, we are waiting on replacing a motor in our D4 but also looking around for alternatives as a stop gap for the next 3 years.
