Builds building a landcruiser for overland expedition

[rideglobally]

We are currently in Guinea West Africa. I noticed a little leak on the steering pump. 12 ht engine. Do you know a place in the area that I can get a steering pump send to me in Ghana? Traveling toward South Africa. We plan to take a break when we get to Ghana. Follow our travel @nullacruising

If the leak is small,top it up with new oil.
Or go to a local Toyota dealer .
There are in every capital in Africa .
A new steering pump is not cheap !

After several days traveling off road and some 4x4 track in Guinea. A piece of my front rear shackle broke see picture below. My plan is to weld the shackle on to the chassis. Is this a good idea. For some reason Toyota mounted these shackles with rivets. If you look at the rear part of the shackle you will see that a piece of it fell of. I really don’t have much other options at the moment. We are now in Man, Côte d’Ivoire heading towards the coast San Pedro, if someone knows of a shop in our direction please let us know. Thank you

Generally this happens when the vehicle is overloaded .
How much does your Toyota weight ?

We just want take a moment to thank all our friends on Ih8mud for your contributions to the build of our home on wheels Nulla. She comes from the Nalla Abor Plains in Australia so we call her Nulla.
