Cape York Trip 2008

This blog is going to be used to track the build up of our new 200 series Landcruiser and our preparation for our actual trip from Adelaide to Cairns, up to Cape York "The Tip" and finally back home to Adelaide.

We are leaving on 26th June 2008 and returning on the 27th July 2008

New Cooper Tyres

I have been debating what to do with tyres and have decided that I don't trust the standard GrandTreks enough to drive to Cape York with them.  We had 5 new Cooper ATR tyres fitted today and also bought a 6th spare tyre only as a spare spare.

They are slightly noisier and a little bit harder ride but seem to handle very well so far.  They certainly have a more aggressive tread pattern which will be much better for off road traction.
