Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

I think it depends a lot on tires.
My vorige stel met een paar BFG ATs, het nie soveel pens gewys op 1.5bar nie (dalk die 3 staal wande).
Nou ry ek my Bridgestone 33'' MTs, en op 1.5 bar het ek baie pens gehad in die band op skerp klippe. Soveel so dat ek dink 'n sny nie buite die kwessie was nie.

Alex i agree with you tires makes a big difference and the bfs tend to be more stiff than the other ones so i think a person needs to ajust the pressure to the terrain and tipe of tire that one has got on .
what is the weight differince between the 3.0l and lexus in the front of your trol?

On my 33" Kumho MT, I ran 1.1 on the sand.... and I was fully loaded (probably well over the 3ton mark ), and also pumped up to 1.7 on the rocks..... had lots of weight and still had good tyre bulge on the sidewall. had no problems climbing that mountain.

Ironically the V8 is apparently slighlty lighter than the 4 cylinder 3.0L. Don't know why.
The Bridgstone Duellers just seem to be softer tires. My starting point next time on rocks would be 1.8.

Alex its lighter because the lexus is an all aluminmium motor while the 3.0 runs a real heavy cast irom cylinder block

grootseun took the words out of my mouth :roll

Hi Maats. Yip daai sonsondergang is net die Noord Kaap. Ek sal met graagte vir ons so uitstapie reel,maar wel in die somer. Ons winters is ernstig koud. Ons ry gereeld naweeke die duine. Hier is paar goeie duine. Indien enige iemand belangstel, kom ons maak n datum in die somer,dan kamp ons by Transboegoe. Daar is 3 roetes naby wat ons kan ry. Waarvan Waterford die moeilikste 1 is. Bly julle het die Noord Kaap geniet.
