    You blokes will be ok, bring your shovels and watch the tides and concentrate on crossings.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Yeah I know, but I am very wary of these. Having said that I haven't seen them myself, only the maxtrax. Theres a mob in Bayswater selling them for $109 a pair. IF, I get my car back today, tomorrow I might go for a drive out to Bayswater and have a look see. I don't really want to be spending anymore $$$ right now, but I don't want to run the risk either of beaching the car. I have a shovel, which I'll take. I have never driven on sand before so I kinda want to be prepared.

    Join a 4WD club. Most clubs (like ours) have a collection of equipment that you only need once in a blue moon, that members can borrow for free. Saves having all that junk piled up in the shed (just in case) that you may never use again.

    Thanks for all the tips guys. I've driven on sand plenty of times before and I agree its low probability of getting bogged but I've recovered that many clowns in the Blue Mountains over the years I just never want to be that bloke with NFI that can't help himself out of a jam.

    BillsGU thanks for the club tip. I've been meaning to get around to joining one.
