Intresting about the harness. I think this needs a bit more thought. I must say my 3 lt king cabs have been absolutely amazing. They certainly take a hammering. Thanks for this info.

This vehicle has given me trouble from 80000km. Turbo went. It got the name smokey Joe. Anyway it eventually hit a bearing at about 350000 km. I redid the engine and it has never been the same. I...

Evening everyone. I have been trying to capture a picture of this bird for a few days now and finally got it, although not perfectly. This is on my farm on the Ncera River in the Eastern Cape. The...

Thanks Tony. A good enough reason. Old gerry cans have a tendency to rust a bit especially mine down at the coast . Probably due to water storage. Any tips here.

I am busy trying to sort out my configuration on top of my roof rack for an up coming trip next year.

My roof rack has holder brackets for 2 Jerry cans. I started wondering if when storing petrol...

We were there just after opening. I would strongly recommend a trip with Cedric to heritage site. It was extremely intresting. Would do it again. I wonder how much gold actually was found originally.

Has anybody done any birding here. My wife and I are thinking of camping st Memel and exploring this reserve. Any points of intrest would be appreciated.

Thanks to all for the posts and emails. It certainly looks as though I will have to take 2 freezers and do shopping on the way back as well. It is great how over the years one gets to know where in...

Thanks for info. I would appreciate a no. As my brother in law is suggesting Spar in upington as in the past he has bought excellent chops there.

I am hoping somebody can recommend a good butchery in Upington where I could buy karoo lamb chops on the way through to kalagadi.

I need a bit of advice. After numerous attempts by my mechanics and a considerable cost I have finally come to the conclusion that I need to swop the engine for a 3 liter. It is a 2015 year model.

Try Dweza.
Great forests . Safe and secure and road has been graded and like a tar road currently.

Also great birding . Can ask for birding guide.

Fishing is also top class.

Thanks Warren. I would like to camp there for fishing and memories. What is the road like there as well as do you have any contact details. This would be much appreciated.

Hi Boesman.

Seems a lot of expense has gone into this vehicle and the person who did it surely could verify its performance off road.

I did a similar venture with a 2004 GX . Cut off the back modified and...

It seems I have come right in Bloemfontein. Toyota has not been helpful.

Good day. I have a D4D 2.5 and have just redone the engine. My turbo unfortunately has gone and it is the mechanical seal. I managed to get the gasket set from Toyota but if you want the mechanical...
