A single trip won't ruin a car and their vehicles are sponsored. Different thing if you pay for everything out of your pocket. Same with the Amarok's which was sponsored and where VW flew a ...

The 4.2 S/C cost R657k and the 4.2 D/C R734. Troopy will be somewhere in between if this is true.

What about side slopes? Up and down going forward is fine and the more flex in most cases the softer the suspension. On a side slope with a lifted vehicle on a soft suspension and a RTT tent and...

If I need 4x4, I put it in 4x4, if I need low range, I put it in low range, if I need a diff lock I put the rear one one, if I need another, I put the front one one on, if all fail I use the winch....

Some basic camping on the pans close to Kubu

If you miss Mafika Lisiu Pass, Katse and Mohale you make a big mistake. Also the Le Bihan/Maletsunyane falls at Semonkong.

I did not know that the range is not included in the reserve. Noted that mine also only have say 20km left and then take less than 70L. On my Cruiser p/u there is 2 90L tanks so I run one empty
and...

The 4.2 is still available in single cab and double cab, https://www.toyota.co.za/ranges/land-cruiser-79. If you don't want it the V6 is a better option than the V8 for higher up in Africa.
It is...

My setup for 2 people works perfectly for us.

Cruiser 4.2 diesel, one of the best known vehicles in Africa, spares and mechanical knowledge everywhere, runs on any diesel, even mixed with...

Got my 2.4 Auto 4x4 new in Nov 2019 for R535k including a tow bar, window tinting/smash & grab, spare wheel lock and a few smaller extras. It does have a reverse camera and decent
display/info for...

The following very old and well discussed stupid trip shows a Cruiser is build strong. Guess a Patrol will do the same as well as a Gelandewagen and a Jeep Wrangler but not many others of
the same...

I am used to a 4.2 Diesel Cruiser and a 2.8 Colt Rodeo so the 2.4 Fortuner which basically is my wife's car is good enough. Would like the new 150kw 2.8 but the difference in price is just not ...

I like to use S4 in town and in very slow traffic even S3 or in the streets with all the speed bumps. When you put your foot down it reacts faster as it don't have to first shift back.

We went to Tanzania in 2005. Attached is a report of our trip written by Kobie Small who planned most of the trip, at the time I still was a bit of a rookie. Kobie gave names to Bush Camps so it is ...

I prefer rollup or foldable solar panels, car or trailer in the shade, panels in the sun. On my car it is too high, look at the scratches on the RTT, a glass panel or rollup panel glued to the roof...

A 50mm mattress with 2 Tentco 5mm self inflating mattresses is the best we could get ours, very comfortable. If you use this setup in the place of the 100mm mattress in the Bundutop you
will have...

We own a Hannibal Impi which is made of fibreglass and it is on the canopy of my 79 Land Cruiser p/u. No issues but the shape and size is very similar to the Alucab. It is good into the wind
either...

Passenger side without a doubt

I have a Colt and Cruiser with every mod we need for overlanding as well as a Fortuner 2.4 Auto 4x4 with no mods besides a dual battery system, a Frontrunner drawer system with a tilt slider
for...

Yes, the 76 is not available in 1Hz anymore so you have to buy it 2nd hand.

I agree that the V6 is much faster than a 1Hz though the low down torque on the 1 Hz is amazing. Fuel consumption don't differ that much. As an overland vehicle you have the problem
that the V6 and...

My first overlanding vehicle was a Colt 2.8 TDI D/C which turns 21 on 15 March this year. I still use it daily so you can keep a vehicle for very long if you look after it.

My second and last one...

My 2007 came without it. New nose, double difflocks but still old dash and no airbags.

Makro don't sell it anymore. Midas here always have.

I love Dobinson's from N1 4x4. Still made in Australia. After 130k km in my Cruiser over some of the worst roads south of the equator, the coils, leaves and shocks are still fine as tested by...

You won't break the H151/2F gearbox. The R151F gearbox in the 4.2 is not so strong and some 5th. gear failures in a certain VIN # range appeared.

Contact Klasie or Jan Slabber from the details I send you, I am sure they will organise you a contact to experience the H152F gearbox. Join the Cruiser Forum as said to get feedback from
many...

Apologies if I offended you but the comments on high running costs mostly are from someone not owning one.

What is different between the 1Hz and the V8 besides the engine and gearbox and a scoop...

I can't understand where people get to the nonsense of high maintenance costs. I drive a S/C 4.2 for 13 years already and besides my old VW Beetle it must be the cheapest car to maintain.
Oil and...

In difficult slow terrain I always use low range. I prefer to drive in 4th gear low range to second gear high range. Your options is more and the in between 3rd gear may be just what you need.

At least if flex much better than SFA and completely enough for overlanding. Take off the stabiliser bar and fit long enough shocks and I am sure it will flex more but the way mine does is fine.
...

Mine is also a 1Hz and I am as happy as can be. Slow but reliable with the only engine available north of SA, Namibia and Botswana. No petrol or V8's in Zambia, Mozambique and higher up so for us...

i have a 2000 Colt 2.8 Rodeo 4x4, a 2007 Cruiser 79 s/c and a 2019 Fortuner. Colt has TJM torsion bars in the front, an extra blade on the standard rear and Monroe shocks. Cruiser has a full ...

Yes at the axle. What is important is approach, departure and ramp angle(under belly). Bring me a Navara with more ground clearance than a Jimney. Jimney maak sy naam gat. Navara will be
good at...

They are very much the same and in Australia they run neck to neck. In Africa lack of dealers and availability of spares is the main problem. Patrol has very strong gearbox and diffs, Cruiser ...
