I think it was still the standard Goodyears when that photo was taken. I have Yokohama Geolander A/T-s on now and they are great.

Many thanks for sharing, great pics...... Upgraded to an ex demo, 7 mth old, Rimini Red/Ebony Napoli Auto HSE on 28th Jan 2011, added roof rails, mudflaps and side strips.

I was wondering if anyone would comment on my new discreetly positioned portable toilet. |

Mike - how do I upload piccies so I can show a few spots where I "ran in" the new SD4 in Eurimbula, Deepwater, and Kinkuna National Parks and a few Conservation Parks to boot?[/list][/list] |

Load your pictures first into your Freel2 gallery, then do this...

Just uploaded a few pics, wasn't as easy as I expected due to timeouts but it worked eventually. |

Nice mjfly1. One picture shows a roof rack on rails, whilst the other shows nothing - whats the go there? The rack & rails look very practical compared to the short aftermarket products available. The Mount Hotham piccie makes me envious - I've just had a classic QLD trip where it was brisk in the mornings but otherwise sunny and warm. I must admit though, the radio news reports about early snows down south made me want to take a drive - 15 hours was just too much for a quick look! I've now uploaded a couple into my gallery but the best viewing is the video material where you get a "feel" for the offroading, despite the low quality from the Nokia. Are we able to upload videos for viewing or do we need to use something like YouTube and a link? |

The state of the Poplar trees show a big time difference, the Pics without the rails and rack are from last Winter/Spring, the ones with rails, rack, cargo barrier, and tow bar are from this Autumn. Hotham was still cool the first week of spring but the snow was melting and my wife hates the cold, she would rather be up in QLD on the beach any day. Still we will be going back up the mountain this winter, once I get some snow chains sorted out, maybe König K-SUV & Pro - 247 or the K-Summit XXL. |

The emphasis on snow chains appears to be rather severe in Vic. For the occasional visitor to the Alpine regions, this is rather extreme and incredibly expensive. I suspect it keeps many a Queenslaner and New South Welshman sticking to the NSW mountains as a consequence where it is 'advisable' but not 'compulsory' for 4WD's to carry snow chains. Given all of the discussion from our Euro friends, the Freelander 2 doesn't appear to need snow chains and is a big part of the high demand over there at the moment. Just added another pic from my trip to the Island Bend last year - didn't have the FL2 though, nor did I rent snow chains but I did have this almighty heavy camper trailer on the back and the officals just waived me thru as though I owned the place! |

I'm not sure how we post videos on this forum - it's hard enough to post pictures to My Gallery. Anyhow, I have included links to a couple of YouTube videos I've just uploaded. Note the GS wheels that I had to get on the SD4 in order to fit standard 17inch AT Tyres. By no means did we come across soft, fluffy sand, nor was it dug up following lots of 4WD traffic but it was softer than it looks. I intentionally tried to get into difficulty as I was there with another vehicle and we had adequate recovery equipment. Despite getting stuck once, it was easy enough to get out of without assistance. The "Sand Mode" takes a bit of getting used to, but it's fantastic once you get to know it.
