Thats a long way to drive with a boat to be turned away, but there is nothing wrong with trying I guess.

I would also dispute the 50k needed to make it go off-road. They are actually pretty good in standard form (subject to the reversing thing.) That being said, if you want a rock crawler, get a Rubicon...

I've been asked to take some notes on the day, and thought I would try and create a spreadsheet to document as best I could the vehicles taking part, and then some sort of subjective comments of how...

I am not 100% percent on the specifics, but the amarok has a Pulse width modulation fan driven by the ECU. This means that there is some smarts going on along with a control loop that will drive the...

manual or automated?

My amarok was also very quiet from a turbo whistle perspective, and then JohnBoy from this forum did a decat for me. Ever since i get a lot of turbo whistle, even at idle to some extent, so I agree...

I read on here, I think from TTT, that you should just connect your geyser to your solar generation and forget about the fancy and super expensive solar geysers?

I have done that, and I am seeing...

Check out the lowrance local website. They have something of this sort but it is very expensive. I would rather just go with a front tow hitch if you can.

Even me. My madam has to make a trek to Kzn as the school keeps shifting the calendar, but I shall bring myself and the amarok without her.

Sounds like a ### trip. Just to those who are considering something like this.

We took around 8 families when our kids were all around 6-7years old and did a 5 day trip with Felix Unite. They...

In fairness I could not get an air filter from VW!! admittedly I had one of the first amaroks in the country, and no their schedule they don't touch the air filter for the first 60k km, but I was...

Find someone on the forum with VCDS. I would help but I am a little far away in midrand.

At some point, and you are probably there, your car may be worth more to you than giving it to a dealer. My amarok is over 300k so I know it is worth more to me than anything I would get on a trade...

I am 100% sure that front runner and thule will have a solution. You need to make sure your canopy can handle the load. I think the ali ones are fine. I have a cheap fibreglass canopy and the front...

Agreed, if you want good consumption, drive slower. If you want more power, fit a turbo or a bigger motor. Chipping a modern petrol vehicle will have little effect if any.

I bought a fortuner for my wife recently, but the Mistsubishi equivalent was on the short list and looks pretty nice and was well priced. The Isuzu MUX was also considered, but felt a bit smaller...

I was there just before Christmas and it was great. We stayed in the parks board chalets, and all was well. No security incidents. Camp site was pretty busy and there was a nice restaurant that...

Does anyone know if the venue is Mountain Bike Friendly. I may want to drop my son off and let him ride while we do the trail and test this dodgy section? I cant recall if there were MTB riders there?

You should be able to go here

Get one of those reciprocating tools and just slice the bumper so you can get your paws in there. This is what I did for my amarok. Still looks very neat.

I would add to this. On my amarok, there are a lot of connectors and fuses on the battery +ve connection. I kept loosing all my setting and was thinking that the Main ECU was on the way out. It...

I am a huge fan of the hybrid systems. Problem was, I was stupid buying the axpert, not really knowing what I was buying until Oom Fluffy advised us all on this forum that it was a glorified UPS. It...

Whenever these threads come up, you guys really need to cast your mind back a few years. People towed heavy boats and vans around (all over africa) with a 2 & 1/4Ltr petrol landrovers for many years....

I would agree with others that you should wall mount everything and avoid cabinets if you can. If this is in a garage you get pretty irritated with banging your head, shoulder or other body part into...

Looks like a very neat install. Where the Victron?

I saw a 200 cruiser towing a Ace Glider 750, which must be over the 3500kgs. I am sure that it will manage things less than that with ease.

I would say 125Km/hr is pretty brisk for towing duties, especially if the mass is getting up there.

I tow just fine with a 2ltr 90Kw Amarok but it does battle on hills, but my tow mass is...

As with any change, the free market is the best driver of something. Overarching government regulation seldom achieves its desired outcome. Having good financial motivation is always best.

I put a...

I am not super current on this, but I have it on good authority that Michelin spend more on R&D than any of the other manufacturers. I cannot vouch for this info, but they certainly were out in front...

Well I see you have a v6 and mine is a manual 90Kw so quite different. I am not a big modifier, but my wagon is currently at mikem's getting the shocks serviced and I am adding "lift." Actually I...

Thats two more than me, but we plundered the Dorado while we were in dbn around Christmas time. I am busy hatching a scheme to get me down again soon before the end of the productive season at least...

I see you have gone the whole hog with Victron. I have a Deye 8KVA inverter, which I must say is working sweetly, and then two Victron MPPTs that are handling the panels that can't go straight into...

Just found this that is locally approved and certified.

Think I am going to have a gander at this and see if it can be integrated. Also they are...

This should answer the question.

The guys with the Skis seem to catch the most fish.
