Long Distance and Desert Conditions

Pep90:
for some preparation i would remove and replace all the bolts you are likely to need to remove once there.. propshafts etc.. theres nothing worse than spending an afternoon completing a ten minute job because something rounds/shears.. wouldnt like to think what it would be like in the desert doing the same!

Brilliant response guys, thakns for all the hints and tips Evil Goat. I did like the inclusion of Duck Tape in there. If it can't be fixed properly slap some duck tape on! I've actually suspended a human from the ceiling with duck tape but that's another story!

I definetly see your point Pep90 as the tempers will be frayed already in the desert so shearing bolts won't help the situation!

Does anyone know of a strategy to reduce sand intake? Some kind of mesh to cover the grill maybe, but would this effect air intake? Is it worth installing a snorkel to attempt to lift the air intake above nose level?

And by the way, my all time favorite fact about the rally (after the guys who reversed up a mountain because they lost all forward gears) is this one

- As a result of an incident with a cow 1 person was detained by police in Azerbaijan and threatened with a beating from a dwarf.

I'm so looking forward to finding a cow and seeing what you have to do to be beaten by a dwarf! Or not!
