Hi Tinus,


Also taking off the front bash plate as it has never been dented, so no use. Also I am now only doing overland trips. Bar will give way to recovery kit if i do not find another place to put it. Second fridge is going on the back seat, so space is limited.


Challenge to all other patrols. Lets get the mileage of your troll documented. See new post in camp fire.

The African buffalo or Cape buffalo (Syncerus caffer), is a large African bovine.

The African buffalo is not the ancestor of domestic cattle, and is only distantly related to other larger bovines.
Owing to its unpredictable nature, which makes it highly dangerous to humans, the African buffalo has never been domesticated unlike its Asian counterpart, the Asian buffalo.

Just you dare venture close, that thing will be out of that hole and after you like a scalded cat!

These things are a twice as tough as a black wildebeest, which starts out a bit ill and gets better every time you shoot it, and faster than the missiles on a fighter jet!

Grant.

Ek het nou die dag Yster op n weegskaal getrek, en sy gewig was 2.7 ton. Die yskas, recovery gereedskap en rooftop tent was nie op nie. Indien al daardie dinge by mekaar getel word dan sal dit goed oor die 3 ton wees. Wat se die wet? Ja ek weet dat ons al so gesprek gehad het op die forum, en as ek reg kan onthou is van ons lede op die forum al afgetrek en op die weegbrug geplaas gewees.

Wat is wettiglik ons dra massa, op ons voertuie?

Grant, Awesome look and mods on your Troll - I really like your "gull Wings" - I had these on all my previous double cabs (Canopies) and it makes life a million times easier with accessibility and packing.

I don't know if the 2nd row seats fastening is the same as in the 4.8, but when I travel alone or with just one passenger I remove the 2nd row seats (takes about 2 to 3 minutes) and I then have a humongous area to pack to my hearts delight. It is absolutely amazing how much extra space you have if the seats are removed. With your skills and vision I can just see what other beauties (mods) will come of that :woo:
