hey, I'm not saying that a turbo is bad. No way. I'd love one. I'm just saying that for an overland trip like they are doing.... I wouldn't *add* a turbo. I'd just leave the motor as close to stock as possible. Makes bush repairs much much easier.

Steve, that's part of the beauty of the AXT kit. If I want to return to stock all I'd need to do is pull the turbo and related piping, reinstall my OEM exhaust manifold and a new hose from the air cleaner to the intake and I'd be back where I started. I found I did not need to adjust my fuel delivery or anything else. Granted, my exhaust would not hook up so I might be deaf
 after driving for a few miles but it would be doable.

Jim:
When you went Cairo to Capetown how was the stretch between Addis and Khartoum? I know it may have been a while but Im curious - worse of the stretch? I agree with Jims Rover statement, I like Series trucks - and sure they are good at fixing them they get lots of opportunity. Im surprised pens havnt been mentioned - everyone wants pens. Some pens or better, some colored pencils for children, and paper. Dont take crayons. Nice to have a solar option - what kind of fridge are you thinking. If theres no provision for a hard mount, some success with thisIowa Thin Film Luck Alac |

I built a camper out of a Nissan micro-bus (22ft) and sold it 2 years ago
Since then I have been using my HZJ73 I dont envy anyone using a LC for long term camping and I love camping and my LC I will be getting a 4wd Toyota micro-bus (18ft and a 1HZ) in the future and travelling from Japan to the tip of Africa when I retire. __________________ Robert VanLane HZJ73 f+r locked , winch Hilux RN36 f+r locked , winch , exo cage |

They are available in 4wd and a couple companies in Australia have modified them for beach touring loaded with Swampers.
That photo is of a long version and they are available in short , medium and long. Length and height are their downfalls. __________________ Robert VanLane HZJ73 f+r locked , winch Hilux RN36 f+r locked , winch , exo cage |
