Yeti capable 4WD tracks

[Ryeman]

For those who are tempted to try designated 'tracks' I thought it would be handy to have a list that has been conquered by a Yeti so that others might feel like trying with perhaps a difficulty rating in avoiding damage.
The Whitfied - Lake Buffalo road has been downgraded to 4WD status and enables an interesting scenic shortcut for Mansfield - Myrtleford travellers via Powers Lookout (a must). I'd rate it 2 dry 6 wet with std tyres.
If we get a significant list maybe it can be shown on a State basis.

Everybody would be surprised on how well the Yeti handles off road situations with a basic haldex system. I've been lucky enough to take one through a place called boggy hole in the NT, only a 5km track from the main road but a great drive. I recommend a steel under tray to stop sand getting up into seals on the transfer case this was the only issue we had a small leak had developed but nothing major. Another tip is to turn off all assist systems to help get through the sand.

There are lots of Yeti capable tracks around here in Coffs Harbour.
Cheers, Rob.

I'm doing my Yeti best around Beerburrum on the Sunny Coast, and apart from big chewed out mud holes, no dramas so far. I am however hammering the plastic A pillar windscreen covers from overhanging branches, they need some clear armour on them, but are already pretty stuffed.

I'll be putting on some HT tyres - somehow - later this year, the 9000's stock are great on the tar, but become slicks in 2 seconds in mud.

Gonna have a crack at Bribie soon, and then Double Island Point with some bigger 4x4 mates who can tow me out if I get centre hump bogged on the access tracks. Clearance is the issue, haldex is very clever.

I'll be interested to see how those H/T tyres go Greg, keep us posted.
Cheers, Rob.

The poms are into 'winter' tyres for their snow/ice conditions and wouldn't mind an A/T type for the nasty crushed rock rd/track conditions but I'm not sure about the 'legalities' eg reg/insurance.
Anybody got a second set for the nasties.
Craig's hut (Mt Buller) is what I'm looking at as it seems like it might be Yetiable.

The High Country rocky ledges are my biggest worry - the plastic under trays wouldn't last at all.

You can get to Craig's Hut in a falcon, so the Yeti will be fine!

Thanks, I didn't think it was at all hardcore but not THAT wimpy!

LOL... The Yeti should be able to go everywhere a stock Forester can go, give or take 5mm of ground clearance...

We did the Simpson about ten years ago with unmodified cars
