Francois Peron National Park

Deep, soft single-lane sand tracks run north from the Peron Heritage Precinct past red dunes, white beaches and claypans to Cape Peron at the tip of the peninsula. Beyond the precinct it is high-clearance 4WD only, with single-axle camper trailers the limit and no caravans.

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.

Rego · fastest

We look up the make, model, series and engine from the plate. We keep the plate and the vehicle details, never the owner’s, for 90 days, so you aren’t asked twice.

Make & model

  1. 1 · Recovery

    The tracks are deep, soft sand, and the claypans can bog a vehicle after rain.

  2. 2 · Suspension & GVM

    High clearance is required past the precinct, and sand whoops punish a loaded vehicle.

    Build the suspension for your 4WDLift, load and the engineer's rules for your state, specced for the vehicle and what it carries.

    • 3 · Tuning & remaps

      Low-rpm torque keeps a vehicle moving through long stretches of soft sand.

    • 4 · Storage & racks

      Carry water and camping gear for the beach camps, which are well away from shops.

    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.
