Back in the land of Julius after what can only be described as an awesome trip. Did 5 382 klms of which probably about 3 800 odd were on gravel, sand, industrial corrugations and old tracks.

Fear not - peekchas and trip report to follow asap :thumbup: :thumbup:

no vehicle problems at all except for the drivers 1/4 window screw thing rattling off, and the hooter knoppie thing falling off (hooter doesnt work anyway so... :tongue: :tongue: )
