Bought myself a skedonk for my birthday.
A Safari with a GQ top.
It has an SD33 Nissan turbo diesel engine in, which apparently was the contemporary of the L28 petrol engine we got in Safaris at that time.
Car is really primitive but the basics work.
It’s really high (ala Reenen type Safaris), with a set of 35” that has a fair amount of rubber left.
Now what to do with it...

And there I have done it!
Bought my first diesel truck since the hand grenade in 2011!?
Not used to all that black smoke when pressing the throttle.

Pity its not a TD42, but at least its a Diesel !!! Sadly I know nothing about the SD33 engine, but I do know you can rev that motor to hell and back judging by the rev counter......

Netjies, Alex!
Onthou net - te veel swart rook is nie 'n goeie ding nie...
