Thread: Will a bit of beach driving bugger my truck?

drop your tyre pressures for waaay improved traction - carry a tyre pressure guage always - should be first option if ever the going gets a bit sticky. naturally that then leads on to thoughts about a decent compressor to get them back up for the highway (I drop mine down to 10psi but no more than 20-30kph when back on seal before I put them back up. Soft tyres will get youa scary range of places.

Breather tubes on diffs? hot running then into cold salt water can pull water into diffs. I drain my diffs and refill if I know I've been in deep water and suck-back was likely.

I presume you guys will have decent snatch ropes/strops with you - and your vehicle does have Club approved hitch points front and rear? hint: carry a 1.5m strop to run across your two tow points in a heavy pull or snatch. attach the snatch rope to that - distributes the load onto two points of your vehicle - way safer. flying hitches (seen one) can be scary when they smash through your windscreen or rear window.

Have fun!
