The mods you are talking about I have on my D/c 79.
I had a clutch bearing issue in my extended warranty period and no questions was asked.
I think they are more lenient seeing that truly standard...

I see according to google weight difference is only 100kg. So that shouldn't be a issue.

That V8 growl is addictive!
I have bigger tyres on my dc, but if I were you I would not go this route. It will increase weight and fuel consumption.
I would rather spend money on gearbox from...

I drive a cruiser double cab as my daily.
It has all of the above issues that you mention.
The only reason it is not an issue for me is I drive less than a 1000k a month and I have very little, if...

We are leaving for witsand on Friday. Or should I say supposed to.
Seems Infanta will also be closed at this stage. Next beach Arniston 2 hrs away...

One more vote for carmaquip.
Very happy with ours.

Friend is busy having a v8 petrol from a old disco fit to his puma. Apparently the tranfer case also slots in well. He is still waiting for the car, busy with electrics.
I will report back if all...

Canyon is 4x4.
Daar is tans ń paar goeie kopies. Weet van afslag tot op 700k.

Dankie

Johan hoe werk die 'maintenance' plan? Is daar n 0 persent rente opsie by hulle tans, so iets op radio gehoor.

My knee jerk is also buy the ford, but a good friend who has a lot of experience went to test drive the 250 merc and said he was extremely impressed. He currently drives a vx9 Navara and he said the...

Hahahahaha

I am a fan but as said I think the price point is not right. You can buy 2 new 4x4 fortuners for 1 defender. Friend bought one now, 670k after discount.
BUT having said that, if they sell, the price...

I understand now. You want to 'reverse' the power into the system like plugging a genny into a wall socket.

My unit is 13 months old.
The inverter stopped working for no apparent reason.
I contacted flexopower and the response is that the inverter part of the 444 cannot be repaired. Thus I have a...

We did the trip in June and it was awesome.
The vehicles were: Hilux d4d,hilux 2.8, hilux 4l, VX200,prado 3l, cruiser 4l and Gwagon prof.

All the vehicles managed well and although the petrol...

A dark capped bulbul of swartoog tiptol can make a sound comparable to a pietmyvrou, if you use your imagination.[emoji16]

The nice thing about buying a Namib is that the purchase price and thus 'boekie waarde' will reflect the extras. Thus when selling, the buyer cannot tell you extras are worth nothing.

Ek sê altyd, die probleem van Prado koop is dat jy baie baie sukkel om ń rede te kry om n ander voertuig te koop[emoji16].

For me the Raptor looks the part and the suspension is the part but sadly the performance is just mediocre.

Thus my choice would be Amarok with upgraded suspension.

No, they just asked the tax.

We paid 254 pula for a car and trailer last week. No cost per person. Just the road tax.

Overlanding= 4x4. Road trip to Bots or Nam = 4x2 in my book. Needing it once on a trip is enough.

If this will be your dedicated expedition vehicle for me it will have to be the defender.

I think there is only 3 true expedition vehicles today. Defender, cruiser and g prof. Yes you can do it in...

Every day carry, as in gun.

I also pined for a 90 p/u until I tried to fit behind the wheel. Sorry it will not be an option for someone our size.

Congrats! Enjoy it!

This was according to an earlier post.
I don't know how often this needs to be replaced on other brands, but at least a few of these crop up anytime there is a D4...

If it is dry it is possible.
I would not do it if I was on my own, but that is just me. We did it in the dry season and friend got bogged down while towing. We needed to snatch him. I am sure he...

Hi there. Pm me your number. We can have a chat. I have one I am not using.

Edit.
Sorry my canvas is for a 109 I missed the swb part.

Bushnomad I agree. My statement cuts both ways. Performance vs longevity. You decide.

Ps
I am not saying the D4 is a bad vehicle and only a few will brake down, but this number will be more than...

The above is one of the reasons Toyotas give less issues- the engines are mapped very conservatively.

I was scared of the out of warranty cost of owning a Disco4. Thus we sold ours. It was an awesome vehicle with no issues in the 3 years we had it.

I was still considering buying a disco 5 but...

I had a similar situation in a house. I had the plumber give me a letter stating that it was an undetectable water leak. I sent that through to the municipality and they credited 6k if I remember...
