I agree Cedric, trying to concur the river bed with obstacles by yourself is pointless. It’s so much fun doing with other people navigating you along the way.
And the one thing so many people dont ask and I dont know why is the following: What do you think? or What line do you think should I take?

Quick question, how many guys are taking the wifes / female partners along?
My wife is going along and the biggest question was - "any other woman going along on this trip???" Probably a fair question after a previous motorbike trip to Malawi with no other ladies and a total of +10 motorcycles.....men only

Hi Everyone.
We here at G-Tech Auto have collected rocksliders over the years and have 1 set for 4.8 and 2 sets of 4.5 available for sale at R1000 for the set.
They are used with minor scratches but not bent.
Looking forward to this trip so much that the car is 90% packed and ready to go.
Just need food and a toilet roll.
Chow for now.

Hi there
Yes the ones for R1000 bucks are Tinfoils but hey better than nothing.
We also have a set of steel rock sliders that bolt to the chassis (tubes), these are going for R2000 cash for the set.
Chow for now.
