I just want to say, this man is a legend, so much information for free! I own a AWD and wish to do all this.

Tyre pressure on sand is all important. 0.9 bar is not too low for sand and it is unlikely to pop off if you drive civilized. Always have a good 4x4 compressor and an extra spare wheel. Anyway, I am preaching to the faithful. Never been to Fraser before but it is a dream. Living in South Africa it will be a dear but I think it is worth every penny for just one reason: it is safe in Oz. In ZA you are always at risk to be shot at. Many beautiful places are off limits due to safety concerns. A wrong turn may cost you your life as nearly happened to me and my wife. A good Samaritan drove in between my Jimny and the 4 accosters. This gave us the gap to accelerate away with two trying to slam out our rear windows followed by stones. Amazingly there were no damage. This dampened our spirits a lot. We ended up returning home two days earlier. It is worth going places where safety is axiomatic.

ha, took my 3 week old Nissan X-trail 2014 over to Fraser. Did 125 km, inland, beach you name it. Never got stuck once. Really hard concentrated driving. Constant criss crossing the tracks in the high places to avoid bottoming out and going like hell in some parts where there were no options. It can be done but needs some skill.

[@clu51]

quality details, thanks

[@bocap1980]

Outstanding info 👌👌 thanks for sharing

[@exploreaustralia6577]

Wow really wonderful

[@videokat56]

great video, Rugged Life ! .... another accommodation option is a Holiday Rental - there are some 80 or so privately owned houses and apartments/units available, which provide another more affordable option, for those not into camping.

[@ruggedlife]

Yes you are correct. Thanks for your input 👍

[@habibamini8263]

Nissan X trail can do that. did not know that.

[@ruggedlife]

They are pretty capable 👍

[@sovantan9224]

You say about cb radio what channel most they used

[@ruggedlife]

From memory i thinknit is either 30, 31 or 32. But im sure a lot will be on 40

[@anilgoyal2472]

Hi Thanks for the video...I got Nissan xtrail. ..can you please tell me where can I get it 2" lift kit fitted or what is the maximum height raised you would recommend, I am here in Queensland too Thanks

[@ruggedlife]

2" is the maximum you can have mate. Superior Engineering in Brisbane has a 2" strut spacer.

[@pegasuspestcontrol4895]

Can we drive from Kingfisher Bay Resort to through the interior to The east coast?

[@ruggedlife]

Yes

[@brendanvowles1525]

Learn to drive !!!!! Beforehand preferably!

[@ruggedlife]

👌 Have how to driving tips in my channel. Yet to create one specifically for beach driving.

[@ctp_music]

Kampeon pre!

[@tpv59]

GREAT review. SIMPLE, EASY to understand, Informative, VERY HELPFUL. THANK You. Is there a limit to how long one can stay on the island? Are motorcycles allowed? Could I assume it would take about 1 week to see/explore the island? MANY Thanks. ALL the BEST.

[@ruggedlife]

Cheers mate. From what I know, there is no limit to stay there. Yes you can ride your bike in the island. I would suggest a week if you can to see and enjoy every little bit of it. Otherwise, 4-5 days is enough.

[@tpv59]

@@ruggedlife THANK YOU VERY Much for replying. I REALLY APPRECIATE it. I am planing to go up there. (Victoria) I have to start somewhere. Thank you again. Regards.

[@ruggedlife]

@@tpv59 no worries mate. Good luck. You will enjoy it 👌

[@paulbland5625]

I have just purchased a T31 X Trail 4x4. I have plans to raise it. As it's clearance is 210mm, what would be the maximum height this could go? Cheers

[@ruggedlife]

Maximum lift you can go would be 50mm on suspension. However, lift springs for T31s only go to about 35mm. Increasing tyre size would be your next option.

[@paulbland5625]

@@ruggedlife Thanks for your reply. There are so many lift options and some say they go 4 inches. That seems to be a bit of overkill. As the law is changing here in qld on lift heights. I went back to your MOD videos and now have an idea. Thanks. Happy Trails

[@viewsONTRENDING]

Pretty informative, it's a sub from me

[@ruggedlife]

Cheers mate 👍

[@claireboyle8221]

Can you go over without a car? Can you only do this on a tour?

[@ruggedlife]

Yes i believe so but check with the kingfisher ferry and resort as they might have a vehicle to pick you up from their ferry.
