You can read the Wikipedia page, for some insights. Here's another article. Lots of ads in the 2nd one.
Think a properly outfitted Deuce would be ok? The 2nd article I linked mentions you cross over 900 dunes and it recommends no heavy trucks.
I'm posting here because my Deuce has been modified, including a Cummins 6bt with 230 hp, I kept the original transmission for the high/low capability, 24.5" tires, additional fuel tanks. My biggest concern is the weight. I'm sitting around 8 tons.
I don't think the following is necessary, but I'm posting it because invariably someone will ask: For safety, I have solar panels, a massive LiFePO battery, an atmospheric generator (for emergencies). I would be carrying at least a month's worth of water and 200 gallons of fuel, plus maybe another 100 gallons in jerry cans. I have the Deuce winch, an electric winch (backup), block & tackle and a helical stake system. Also, a robust first aid kit and a sat phone. I can't plan for everything, that's why I got a sat phone. I'll also have a rifle just in case anyone's wondering.
Looking for opinions on the Deuce, not so much my state of mind.
This is an old pic, the canopy will be gone shortly and a camper in its place.
