    78 Series Tourer

    On the above mobileme link I have also put up a short geeky video (poor quality) guide to our troopy. It was intended for friends and family and got me a lot of teasing - mainly all my under vehicle/hood tech talk:) You guys will probably appreciate it more than my mum did :rolleyes:

    What GPS do you have?

    well I am a bit of a gps freak and have used them professionally and hobby type use for a long time. IMHO for 'our' use the 276c is the ultimate. That is it. I don't have one but have 3 others (including the so called 276c replacement...:frown:) and have played with the 276 a lot and...

    78 Series Tourer

    Hi PT, well I have to say the difference is amazing - the Impi is so much faster up and down (and you stay clean!). This makes a difference over 6 months;). Other advantage that I never considered before is that it is much tougher - my old tent got pretty torn up by branches - the impi doesn't...

    stainless steel water tank?

    You could try the German company "Tourfactory". They certainly do them - 100L or so -. I don't have a link to hand but just google them. Helmut and co. are helpful friendly people.

    In the Safari Industry there are lots and lots of interesting vehicle conversions around: And this is the 70 series section so here is a Prado with some lions;): The lions were disapointed - 3.0L so less chance of snacking on stranded tourists. This is in Savuti (Chobe Park...

    Well folks it has been a while! Seasons greetings to you all:) Thanks for the continuing interest, particularly from Martin & Marina - good luck with the 60 series. Well, the next tyres were eventually BFG MT KM2 - bought in Namibia where tyres were frighteningly expensive... But before...

    285 on a 6.5 Rim?

    Guys, I know that this is not exactly recommended, but there are serious issues getting tyres here in Namibia at the moment - I specifically want 265 MTs but they are like hen's teeth rare! So other sizes are being looked at. So why would 285 on 6.5 be a bad idea exactly? Gil

    Thanks - glad you liked them! So to answer the questions... Well, my Grabber AT2s did fine in the sand, most of our group were on AT (BFG) and we were all on low, low pressures. The lead guide Len's FZJ79 was running 285 BFG MTs (mix of old pattern and new) and that vehicle was very very...

    Thanks Rosco! More details: Things worked out (just!) with us collecting the vehicle and getting at put back together in WB (Walvis Bay) in a container yard and with malaria (not fun) Luckily the only damage was my 'helpers' that assisted in putting back the roof tent - the paintwork...

    just an update... So an update on what is happening: well we spent a few weeks in Andalusia putting a Suzuki Jimny hire car through it's paces. The tracks there are great, and one memorable one was an very unknown old mule track up and over and down a 5,300 ft pass. Fantastic. The Jimny...

    Travelling Cruisers

    Bremach - small Italian manufacturer using IVECO engines. They are "fairly" well known in EU overlanding camper type circles. Looks great!!! I have to say it Soenke - the orangy yellow 70 camper just looks way too "fussy", the dune beige one looks too fat at the back... etc. Honestly...
