Nice truck! Great area to be in if you have a Hilux. Tackled the salt pans yet?? I did that 9 months ago, took us 3 days to get across them, got lost and had to rely on compasses to find our way;p. So many different trails and routes to go on in Botswana, if you're looking for places to go check out my home page: http://botswanaconnection.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; . There are loads of places and ideas that relate to 4x4'ing on it. Thanx and welcome to the 4x4'ing club
