Nothing worse the the smell of good old 95 inside the car....

I wouldn't go with jerrycans inside the car. I know the 4.0 is thirsty- my Fuelly can attest to that. What about one of those Pioneer Plastics fuel tanks - may be better sealing than the jerries. I still need to take my jump seats out - bench needs to stay though...

Looks like you are having lots of fun!

Great write up. As mentioned elsewhere, many of us know the gist of it, getting a more technical explanation/write up is most welcomed an useful.

Looking good so far, would love to see it all mounted up.

A shot from when we arrived at our Family Christmas. 2002 Landcruiser 105 4.5l i6 and 2011 Fortuner 4.0 V6.

Not playing around!

Good luck with your planning - exciting times.

If I were in your shoes, I’d look for something local and RHD. I would assume that hauling a truck halfway around the world and back would be pretty expensive. Another thought is that you may find certain components that are normally serviceable, becoming problematic due to LHD/RHD...

Hi, You have a great vehicle and a huge amount of aspirations for it. My first recommendation for you, if your plan on moving to Botswana is close to reality and expected to be a longer term deal - don't spend money on mods yet. My reason for saying that is, all the countries you mention...

Good work. Let us know how it pans out after a few cycles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In that case I would kit the truck and use a decent ground tent, thereby allowing for a base camp setup if you want to. Downside of rooftop is that every time you want to go anywhere you are packing up camp to do so. As said, not very experienced myself, but these are my opinions. Sent from...

I think these are the key questions. I don't have a lot of experience, but my parents do - having done many overland trips through Southern Africa. Their experience is to have as few moving parts as possible, thus avoiding a trailer. But having said that, if you truck is also your DD and you...

Very cool - we all want a Land Cruiser, but you are proving that it is simply not necessary. Looking forward to seeing further developments. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Very nice. What vehicle do you have it in - is that a Prado? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What you could do is to drill straight through the rack, fix an eye bolt in that position, and spin the line around - turn-buckle at the bottom, on the outside of the hood bracket. Might be just enough clearance, and more secure at the top. Minimal extra cost. Maybe to test it out, you could...

Well done, looks good. Out of interest, can you still open the bonnet/hood with them in place? Looks to me (might just be the angle) that the spring hooks may interfere. I may have done one or two things a little differently, but this is your truck and project, so do it your way. Good...
