Looking good Jaco. Definately a difference from when we first met. :thumbup:

We have all definately been in the same boat with the boss but in the end they will always give in.

Camping and the like just becomes so much easier with a well organised vehicle and storage system and that's when they love you for all the cash you spent on it. :twisted: :twisted:

What size RR do you have on there?

Dankie Thomas - Nog nie besluit oor die plakkers nie... Oorweeg dit om net die Raider plakkers op die voorste deure te plak.

Hi Jaco.

Baie netjies gedoen sover!

Het vroeer gelees jy het Mikem vere opgesit. Het al baie hulle advertensies gesien. Hoe vind jy hulle sover? En vergelyk hulle goed met die ander bekende name?

Ander vere is nie te ver in die toekoms vir my nie. Ek is net nou eers besig met nuwe bande vir my Hilux.

Groete.

Yis Pierré - Mikem se vere het 'n swaar vrag (600kg+) deur Bots gedra sonder enige probleme en hulle diens is puik - Maak gerus by Darryl 'n draai :thumbup: Het ook nog net goeie goed van OME gehoor.

Jaco - Die canopy is deur ForFours gebou. Dis bietjie swaarder as die alu modelle maar lekker sterk en heelwat goedkoper :cooldude:
