Hey guys.
We are back! Thank you to everyone that posted comnents. Its clear that everyone has their own driving style and tricks for driving their bakkies regarding tyre pressure etc. All the advice was great and much appreciated.
Thys were you behind me on the N7?
The reason I asked about max speeds on dirt roads was to make sure I didnt get mistakingly confident on dirt and drive too fast so we stuck to speed limits on the R364 & R365. 80km/h was perfect for those roads.. The harder roads we just went as fast as we thought was suitable.
We did about 800km on dirt and it was great.. One lesson I learnt the fun way is that mud puddles look very shallow from far... We were on the way to Midlepos doing 80km/h and when we got right on top of the puddle I knew I couldnt hit on breaks because we would just spin out.. I just gripped that steering wheel and touched the brakes lightly and we hit the puddle hard.. The bakkie slowed down as this wave of mud came over us. We got a fright but when we got through it and the bakkie just kept on going it was great.. It showed us just how good a Hilux really is..
