West coastWest coast (Trial Harbour to Granville Harbour)
Climies Track
About 20 km of rock steps, steep climbs, bog holes and rocky creek crossings along the coast between Trial Harbour and Granville Harbour, graded Very Difficult by Parks and Wildlife Service Tasmania. The low coastal scrub gives nothing to winch from, so rangers recommend groups of four or more vehicles.

Before you go Book the Spirit of Tasmania from Geelong and ask Parks and Wildlife Service Tasmania about permits and closures before you go. Travel with at least four vehicles, as rangers recommend.
What the trip asks of your 4WD
In the order a fitter would raise them, each with the reason. Up to three parts that fit for each, the first already chosen; swap any of them, or mark one you don't need.
Build it for your 4WD
Your rego or your model, and every part below is one that fits it. Until then you see the gear that fits any 4WD; the parts made for one vehicle wait for yours.
1 · Recovery
With scrub too low to winch from, a winch with a ground anchor and other vehicles to pull from is the way out of a bad hole.
2 · Suspension & GVM
Rangers call for high clearance, and a lift with longer travel keeps the wheels down over rock steps.

Rock steps and ledges land vehicles on their sills, and sliders with underbody protection take the hits.
4 · Air intake
Bog holes and rocky creek crossings can be deeper than a stock air intake.
5 · Bull bars
A winch needs a strong, winch-rated front bar to mount on.
Each of these is made for one vehicle, so the parts show once we know yours.
The trip asks for these; the rest of the rig is yours to choose. Build the whole rig for this trip.
