My 1st 4x4
I bought this for camping. I have a heavy duty sliding shelf in the load box. On this I pack ammo boxes and my freezer. I had fitted a Hella plug and cable leading to the vehicle battery for the freezer. For extra packing space I have wooden shelves fastened to the base of the canopy. This setup serves my needs perfectly being on a tight budget. I tow a lightweight offroad camper trailer. Our favourate destinations Kgalagadi and Namibia. My average diesel usage 10,5ks/100km after 6000ks (includes towing).

Re: My 1st 4x4
Welcome aboard, Tony!
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Dot 3 should be fine but just to be sure wait and see what comments are still forthcoming from other Vigo owners.TonyT wrote:Thanks for making me feel welcome.
