Andre apparently had a talking tot he D3 while we were repairing the panhard rod, and her locker and TC is now working again. So we set off into the great unknown again. Well, It wasn't really unknown, we knew exactly what was ahead, more of this: and more: and then some more: more...

Ok, so all the cars were running and we had no issues.... except maybe for the D3 that had some issues to get through that very very simple easy flat obstacle in the previous post. But other that that, no problems. And then all of a sudden!! Check the travel on this stock standard...

The night was freezing and we didn't feel like showering before going to bed. Early next morning we rose and had good old fashioned shower! We carry a 20litre gas/22V geyser with a 12V pump that deliver water at 4 bar that, I build into a portable box, on all our trips. Since there weren't to...

Rocks, Rocks and more rocks. And then I got stuck..... And in the process I bent my Panhard rod.... This this was the end of day one, and we had to look for a spot where 7 cars would fit in, which is also flat enough to make camp. The road was the only option, and somehow we...

The stretch before the big rock: The victory walk - Bruce Willys style, we turned out to look like a bunch of Dorks: We are going up there: Building road: ******!! Did we not just start down there? They worked hard!! not one puncture between 7 vehicles, but we did have two de-beads

The view from Ramabanta Trading post: Start of the pass: Typical terrain: To complete the pass you engage 1 st gear low range even before the start of the pass and you stick to it for the following 26km. You don't frequently get to drive more than 500m without stopping to repair/build...

Hi guys. Myself and a couple of friends just completed Baboons pass in Lesotho. The pass is 20km long and it took is 3 straight days to do it. Like the organizer said, it is not a track, it's an adventure -and boy, was it an adventure. I'll do a trip report and post some pics here over the...

Ron, this is on the rear axle, not front.

Yes, an lenghtend Panhard rod will center the axle in the vehicle, but won't change the angle. Interesting enough, the OME's have only 25mm more travel than OEM.

Ever since my suspension lift (OME) , I get a slight wagging feeling when driving on roads where there is lots of up and down wheel movement. Corrugation does not cause this effect, because the vertical wheel movement is small, even if high frequency. This morning I after driving behind a...

I'll check it on Saterday. Going away for three weeks with the trailer, so I'll have plenty time to check.

My 3 litre D4d runs at 8.2 l/100km.

My trailer has a 105Ah Deltec Deep cycle battery installed which I charge as follows: While driving - National Luna split charging kit While camping - 2 x 55W solar panels with a Steca controller While at home - permanently connected to the C-Tek charger Last night I noticed a white residue...

Found the other pics:

Hi HiluxMax. That is one good looking Lux! I drive a Fortuner, the SUV based on the Hilux, and built a set of rock sliders for myself. I started with a profile that fit snugly underneath the door sill and worked from there. I can lift the entire vehicle on one high lift point in the sliders...

EGT Gauges - do you use them, and which one? Where did you fit the probe? Looking for one with a small display to fit without drilling or cutting holes in the dash. Any experience with this one? http://www.dynotunenitrous.com/store/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=134
