Now why have I NEVER thought of this!!!??
Maybe because I am getting old and stupid, but I was not always that way .... so, stupid, I guess.
They say there is no fool like an old fool.

Eish,...

This is good advice.
I do something very similar with a 10 ton bottle jack that I bought so far back that I don't even know anymore how much I paid for it, but would not have been over the top....

I have kept rainfall figure in my garden in Pinetown for many years now.

You guys deserve a break away.

Best to find a hoist or a pit to use to do this.

AND to add:
4x4 Insurance cost will most likely be higher, especially if you are planning off-road stuff with it.
Just saying.

That kind of rainstorm is not usually predicted and is unexpected at that time of year.
In such a situation I could very easily have been caught out myself.

OK, and THAT would not have been anticipated for sure.:o

This is a "normal" Richtersveld official campsite alongside the river bed, not in it as such.
Near to the also popular De Hoop camping area.

Very scary.
But...

Combination methinks.

I must admit that generally speaking (not specific to this vehicle) I thought that these cracking issues had been sorted many moons ago.

Yes I know the river is...

Thank you so much for your report and video.
It brings back some very good memories of our 2018 adventure into that area (And Pedro & Ellen were there with us on their first ever Richersveld and...

Given the low off-road use I would say just live with it and invest the R 35 K for future issues.

I seriously need to replace the 16" mags on my old Suuz due to them no longer being round (past...

Wow!
A LOT of real HARD work there!!!
I guess ambient temperature could be problematic as well.
Yes, videos tend to make terrain look flatter or let's say less steep than reallity.
When I look...

Very beautiful part of our country.
Enjoy.

The baboons are fearless, can be...

As mentioned above, if the vehicle is insured then check your insurance policy requirements first.
They usually need a certification of any after market fitment.
If not insured for theft then I...

Didn't you know that you should get out of the vehicle and dance while showing the other guy to move forward ? :p

Thanks Jelo, I will try that.

I have used T4A with Basecamp and an old Garmin Nuvi 500 for many years.

However a few days ago I had a major PC failure and was forced to a totally new installation of Win 10 Pro.
Unfortunately...

I can second this.
Apart from that the Wild Coast is still beautiful - just not quite as wild anymore.
Safety anywhere in RSA is always a concernjust take care and not chances.

If going on walks...

From own experience more than once, alternators do and can fail even using a solenoid system when powering dual aux. batteries as well as the crank battery up front.
To be fair though we have two...

Regarding diff. locking, so as usual, slightly off topic, but not muchly.

The best I have experienced personally and USED was the Hydrotrack on my old Ford Ranchero.
This was a "kind of" limited...

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the Town & Country is mild steel.

Something like this ?
PM me for more details if so.

Also already has modified leaf springs and three almost new...

My brother has a permanent holiday caravan site and caravan at Stillbaai and he says the beach is closed.
However just up the river is OK for aquatic activities.

Climb the George Peak.
Did it twice in my very much younger days!
No special equipment needed, just steep and tiring, but worth the view.

My old 280 also started with that indicator flashing, byt 4x4 and low range is working.
I think it would also be either the bulb in the display oe a connection issue or maybe the sensor.
Mine no...

Hope you understand my question.
If chattering then it usually means low voltage and if given a rest or using a different barry it would start....

OFF topic I know - but help me here ...
