    FJ Cruiser or Tacoma for Touring

    For 2 people the FJ is perfect. We have done a couple of 5000+km 3 week trips carrying around 500kg of gear without any problems, but organization is the key.

    Full Size Overlanding In Namibia/Botswana?

    The track of a full size rig is the major problem. Most of the “roads“ are 2 spoor ( tracks) created by Land cruiser, Landies etc which would necessitate a full size vehicle riding with one side in the track and the other uphill in the bush - not impossible but making it an unpleasant journey

    DC-DC battery charger under hood?

    We have a Cetek 250 dual mounted in the engine compartment and on our Botswana trip external temperatures reached 42 deg C and the charger was fine even though the specs state a max operating temperature of 50 deg C. Another option is the Projecta IDC25 Projecta.com.au that is designed for...
