[QUOTE="geof_junk, post: 673900, member: 1759"] The biggest problems are the tyres and the driver. Make sure you have tubeless tyres and plenty of plugs for repairs. The driver has to know it is not worth trying to get through a wet patch or steep dry (or wet) river beds and banks. Many 4WD get caught trying to get through them. I spent 8 to 10 years with a 4WD in WA gold fields for 3 to 4 months per year. In good weather nearly every spot that I got too, a mate with a standard car could get in also. Remember that you can walk some of the way swing the coil and might find an virgin patch while doing so. [/QUOTE]
