Re: Leopard driven over by Tour Guide Vehicle and Hyundai Van
Thomas its a leopard not a cheetah. It's easy to speculate without knowing the facts, yes I'm sure it could have been handled differently by those present however we must remember that Over a million people visit KNP yearly and encounters with dangerous animals are bound to happen to normal people v...

Re: Cant get the balance right?
Ok so here is the latest update. Took vehicle to Bridgestone head office in isando. They inspected tyres, 3 out of 4 were out of round and they replaced all 4. Must say they gave me excellent service with no quibble! I'm impressed! Can't say the same for Supaquick, they never came back to me with my...

Re: Cant get the balance right?
Hi Darrl
Please send me your guys details. You have a valid point my tyres are 6 months old and the vibration is a new issue, The prob I have now is that the vibration is not 100% gone so now I need to start looking at other things and checking the wheel balancing etc again.

Let her go with in the LR. You just follow as a backup vehicle in your Hilux and let her experience first hand as to why it was a bad idea to go with them in the first place.

Re: What Rivnuts to use for roofrack rails?
A Question- Just had roof rails fitted to my DC Hilux so I can fit a roof rack later.They used Riv Nuts to secure the rails. Now I've been told that riv nuts are not strong enough for a loaded roof rack? apparently the weak point is that they don't prevent vertical movement in the long run just late...

Re: New base for RTT- help and advice please
Hi Hans my Afr is baaie swak so excuse me. in my opinion a RTT on roof of vehicle will definitely add extra drag therefore higher fuel consumption. It depends on your needs . But pulling a traileror caravan will burn more fuel than having a RTT on roof of vehicle. im planning on mounting the tent on...

Thanks Riaan, will check them out. So today I bought the plywood which I will cover in fiberglass to reinforce which also waterproofs the wood at the same time.

Hi Guys, I was given a damaged RTT some time ago, I removed the tent to have the canvas fixed but in the process of moving somehow the base and support poles have disappeared. So now I need to make a whole new base from plywood and have some alu poles made up to support the tent when it's erected. W...

Welcome Brett and congrats,
Agree with all that's been said, the bottom line is the capability of your vehicle largely depends on the skill of the driver. Go learn the skills and enjoy!!
