MAN 6x6 LX43 2001
Basically this trip was equipment test. Truck supported 12 cars on a 2000km offroad tour through deserts, beaches and mountains, Highlights some 300km desert crossings and Wahiba Sands.
Truck performed well in desert, we drive mostly low gearing in gear 6 and 7, we deflated only to 35 psi as our tires were 10 years old, it feels we need to go down to 20-25 PSI in realy soft sands, we need 70 to 100 ps more and some new tyres and suspension packages, we broke two leaf springs on rear axel and 2 spring packagers. We had two rear axel blowouts and spend 24 hrs and a 750km ride to get new replacement tse from Michelin. We fitted a 14 ton crane to lift out shower and toilet module, however construction was delayed. Truck will be commercially operational Jan first via DESERT-MAX.COM. I will share some pictures and drone videos with you.
