Build French 80 Build

sadly, no - our 80 came with them - only slightly louder than the wimpy OEM horns in the LX

I agree with that.

Cool. I like it. What are "scrub bars"?

I don't have them any more. I will look if I have some pics to post.

looks great

Very nice build. Would be interesting to think "what do I need for africa" vs cali or moab. Could be more like OZ.

I don't know OZ, Cali or Moab neither. 2 pics to show you the landscape you will find in Morocco or Libya. During the day, the sand will be more or less easy to drive.

An air compressor and tyre deflators are most welcomed in Africa.

Hmm...I can't see any pics either..

I will do some public albums with all pics. i don't understand why some of you can't see photos using direct links with the "Insert Image" button.

Just arrived this morning, the CTEK MXS 7.0 battery charger ; a good way to have accurate diagnosis during battery charging.

Few pics about navigation and comms systems

Navigation systems : Asus eeePc using OziExplorer / Garmin Montana 600 and Terratrip 202+

Communication : VHF / CB / Iphone

wonder why it's the terratrip so damn popular in Europe ..?

G´day Tapage
True. I think it comes mainly from the Paris Dakar rally experience. It´s useful reading a roadbook, measuring distances between waypoints. I agree, all GPS and navigation softwares are able now to do that and much more.

Manual tranny = no transmission cooler = area for intercooler

When I'm travelling without my family, I leave my roof tent at home and prefer to sleep on the left side. It's a little bit tight but it's good enough.
