Is there anywhere around Brisbane to take a Yeti 4x4 off-road (beaches, tracks, etc)? Still haven't bought one...can't make up my mind!

Around brisbane there isn't much.
You can access some of the forrestry roads near the highway to the sunshine coast though.
Apparently there is also the goat track up to Mt Nebo. -
Do you reckon the Yeti could handle Bribie Island beaches?Comment

If you want your vehicle to last for any significant length of time, it would not be a good idea to drive it on beaches. Even if you don't drive through salt water, there is enough dried salt in the sand to make a beautiful starter for rust.--

I had Subi's for years and did litterally thousands of kms beach and dune work without any issues. If you wash it properly following a beach excursion it'll be fine.Originally posted by wai View PostPepper Grey MY11 TIGUAN 125 TSI DSG | APR Stage 1 | Comfort Pack | Carpet Mats | MDI | BT | Tint | Custom AudioComment

Do they still use a bitumen coating?.
I seem to recall that being oil based it would eventually dry out, harden then crack letting in moisture which would get trapped and actually hasten the rusting process.
I didn't think they did it anymore or is there a much better product that avoids the problem?.Comment

The verdict:
Has the ability to embarrass proper off-roaders at a poofteenth of the price. 8/10
I had a mate follow me in a 100 series cruiser. I took it very careful and cautious over the rocks along a creek and then the track took a sharp left back on itself and up a steep short hill. The steep short bit had a massive rut up the middle that we both had to straddle. The thing was there was no room for a run up and the top ended diagonally so one wheel went up in the air then it rocked over, lifting the opposing rear. He didn't have diff locks so at the rock over part he had to rely completely on momentum. The traction control in the Yeti worked fantastic. If you have the off road button it becomes more sensitive. It wasn't completely smooth but it only stumbled for a millisecond and then just drove on. He said he was very worried that he wasn't going to make it and he would have never lived it down.
Happy Days.
