Re: Drawer System. Ideas.

How do you attach the slide to the alu tubing... pop rivets? The basic construction in a base of plywood and then on that is aluminium angle strips and the sliders attach to that with nuts and bolts. Then, the frame bolts independently to the plywood base. So, the drawers are not attached to the fr...

Re: Luderitz to Walvisbay Dunes Trip

Looks awesome! :goodpost: Definitely on my bucket list. How do you think a 3l diesel patrol would fare in the dunes? I have no experience with the 3.0CRD but if you don't overload you should be OK. The guides pick a route that all the vehicles can take and you just stay out of any "play pits&q...

Re: Luderitz to Walvisbay Dunes Trip

The Patrol was awsome!!! Supercharger sang the whole trip. More in love now than ever!!! The best vehicle was a 4.0l V6 Hilux... guides vehicle was relatively light though and really set up for dunes... and driven by someone who lives in the dunes. The second best was the Y62 Patrol. That thing just...

Luderitz to Walvisbay Dunes Trip

I thought I would give a quick report and some pointers for anyone else who wants to do the trip. There are three options I know of: The shipwreck Tour. It starts at Luderitz through Diamond Area 1 and follows the coast, focusing on the shipwrecks. This is my first choice, but I have received no res...

Re: Tyre Blow

Maybe the best course is to contact the suppliers and see if they can pinpoint the cause, and maybe have some ammunition of the fitment cause. But someone may argue that because you drove on it you caused the damage...
