If getting a T Bar rather buy one of the stronger galvanised square tube ones from Stealth.

If not listed on their website ask who...

I disagree - if you live in Durban and paddle many guys take two 30 plus KG fishing skis on a DC roof.

In the past I've transported 4 surf skis (6 - 7m long) on the roof of my bakkie no problem at...

That is lovely.

Well done!

I hope I can find some Hankooks at a decent price when I need tyres . They are awesome.

I would agree with your last point, the Achilles is quite an aggressive MT and possibly not as careful designed for road noise etc as something from a huge brand like BFG or Goodyear etc.

That size jump is very reasonable - two of my three diesel bakkies I've gone from 245 to 265 and couldn't really tell the difference.

I've always had Hankook Dynapro MT but they have also got...

Keep the steel wheels, paint satin black and put on 285s.

A legacy of disappointing performance and poor build quality / reliability?

Read up on some of the UK websites about how those BRZ / 86s are lasting...

But would anyone say that ANY of the cars on that list were really big sellers / top quality products.

I've owned more than one on that list by the way but there isn't anything there that's a big...

Thanks guys - thought that Google Maps was lying through its teeth.

Hi guys

As above, would it be feasible to drive from Clarens via the above route and get to Port St Johns in a day?

I suspect no?

Hi Guys

Hope that all is well!

We've just returned from a spectacular week in Mashatu Nature Reserve (Tuli Block).

Our camp is within 800m of Pont Drift border post as the crow flies.
...

Love Hankook MT's.

Had them on a 4x2 Triton and my Defender 90.

I honestly got places in that Triton that no 4x2 had a right to go - sand, mud, even snow.

Road noise - it's a MT but not as...

Bump

Just do this please

Agree with the above.

Very liveable day to day and if your wife is like mine, you may end up fighting for the keys some days.

They respond well to being driven a certain way i.e. with...

Hey Team

As above, my 2010 4x2 3.0 CRDi BT-50 has a very annoying and high pitched squeak.

It only happens in reverse and at low speeds in first and second if I'm running against compression.

Best place to do research.

Looks like they've still got the older General Grabber in that size.
...

I saw something like this last week in Durban - looks very silly I'm afraid.

The load bin was literally big enough for the spare tyre to stand upright in.

I'm 1.77 and 72kg and the Pick Up wasn't comfortable for me so reconsider...

90 Station Wagon is fine.

Agree with second post - unless you can take 2 months plus it's gonna be a heavy trip daily km wise.

Re vehicle, if one looks at it in an unbiased manner, a good diesel double cab is hard to beat...

I've done about 50 000km on a set of Goodyear Wrangler Adventures.

Rotated every 10 000km. Still plenty of life left - I'd say minimum 30 000km.

No offroad / gravel punctures but they seem...

Amazing what a good clean and a few days in the sun with the windows down will do.

My bakkie was owned by a smoker and I've always said I'd never buy a vehicle that smells of smoke.

The price...

Very interesting, I recall reading in one of the American magazines that a bigger wheel vs tyre combo (lower sidewall) is normally lighter so good to see that this is not always the case.

Very nice. 265/70r16 is also a very common size so doubt you'll have issues if you need a spare.

As per your discussions so far and as per ASPW's thoughts recently, unless you overload the...

No feedback but I'd love to know more - we go to the Tuli every year and I want to extend our next trip!

Sounds epic.

Take pics and let us know how it goes.

Awesome well done!

Have said that when the small one (likely to only be one) comes along the last year before school starts we're also wanting to do 6 plus months of Southern Africa to broaden the...

Knowing that Amarok mountain area, I'd possibly get a GOOD fitment centre to drill out and tap that 6mm point to an 8mm and then prepare the surface and screw in and Sikaflex one of those short...

I reckon that this will cost less than 1/4 of an aluminium canopy from a major manufacturer.

I built up an aluminium hardshell tonneau for my Triton so this is the next step haha.

They're bloody strong. Also thought to use some Sikaflex in each join when riveting.

Hi team

Hope someone can advise

I've seen these canopies in the US https://gofastcampers.com/collections/campers/products/gfc-platform-standard - they are awesome.

The full lifting doors on...

Has low range - seems overkill?

You'll be amazed how light those Wrangler Adventures are - comparable to most HT tyres I think.

Regardless of area etc - running a rental home / AirBnB that you rely on others to clean, administer etc can become a) costly and b) stressful / a bit of a nightmare.

I'd say rather invest that R...
