Hi Guys,
got back yesterday arvo.
The Pat was awesome on the sand.
It handled the soft stuff very well, without even letting air out of the tyres!
3 things to remember when off roading in a PAT
1. Turn ESP all the way off by HOLDING the ESP button until ESP off displays on the dash.
2. Stay in 1st gear in soft sand. Deep tracks by other 4WD's were no problem, however the Pat is a bit low in the front and touched a bit on the deep tracks, no damage in sand but could cause problems if there were rocks.
3. Remember to turn ESP OFF each time you go again after stopping as it turns it self on when you stop.
These pics are from Inskip point, were you catch the barge over to Fraser Island.
There was about 200m of heavily tracked and rutted, really soft sand to go through to get to the hard sand and I was a bit worried that I wouldn't make it.
BUt she ploughed through like a tropper!!
...let ya drool on the black beast...hehehehe...btw a crd pat was taken to rainbow a few weeks...17yo girl she manged to rip the sump open on some wash there(not mine btw), so be careful with the baby
