Hi Palla,

How hard was the 3.7L working up the dune, looked great. Where is Yeagerup Dunes :?:

huhum, I think you mean 2.8L im intercooled my friend. Although the dunes we steep & soft I had my tyres down to 15PSI (locals recommended 12PSI) I recon 20 would have been heaps after driving on it but anyway it didnt struggle at all, I even backed off 1/2 way up (lost momentum) & she just kept on powering up & on. I did hold it back in 2nd though, I didnt want it to change into 3rd & drop below peak torque range.(1800RPM)

If you turn your volume up you can hear I am not racing the engine at all. Just drove up it, that hill is piss weak.

The dunes are located in the south west of WA about 350Km south of my place. Just out of a sleepy 1 horse town called Pemberton. Some info here http://members.westnet.com.au/pemdisc/Yeagarup.htm

Nice video Palla. It's amazing how well the CRD goes on sand. Looks tough with the snorkel on as well.
