Love you guys would like to meet you in Namibia 🇳🇦

[@africaoverland]

Thanks Jafet! With the fuel price the way it is we don’t have plans any time soon. Tim was up in Nambia in April testing his new Landcruiser Troopy.

[@user-ii7ez4lx7n]

Nice 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@africaoverland]

Thank you. Been gone for a while. Tim now has a Landcruiser 78 Troopy @troopyinafrica 🤙

[@shawntaylor9509]

Great inspiration for my 'tuna!

[@africaoverland]

Thank you Shawn. Please feel free to mail us if you want us to share some info or the drawings👍. It felt like quite a coup when the draw was able to hold 4 ammo boxes.

[@shawntaylor9509]

@@africaoverland that'll be great! How is the center box for the camera gear mounted to the car? My mail address: shawn[.]t[@]zoho[.]com

[@africaoverland]

Hey Shawn it is simply strapped into the bars of the rear seat.👍

[@hentywaker3605]

Beautiful car Tim. Let me know if you can ever get it in your heart to sell it one day!

[@africaoverland]

Well interesting you should say that. Tim does have it up for sale👍. Tim has a new project he is hoping to start soon.

[@GetOutGO]

Nice walk around! How are you doing weight wise when you’re fully loaded?

[@africaoverland]

Now that is a question Tim has not asked or sought the answer to yet🤔. The car used to bottom out on the original shock set, but has never done so on the Oldman Emu suspensions and fit - nor has the car lost any clearance.

[@jannieweitz5358]

That was a great rig Tim! I see you constructed your drawer system yourself. Any tips on the design or templates to follow? Thanks!

[@africaoverland]

Yes certainly. Send us an email at [e-mail] or DM us on Instagram

[@ferdinandmendoza77]

That is a nice setup. What size are those tires?

[@africaoverland]

Sorry missed your message. To be honest I can't remember, sold the car 4 months ago. They a 17inch BFG that I know. Did I not say in the video?

[@ferdinandmendoza77]

@@africaoverland Yes, you mentioned they were standard 17s. I was thinking maybe you had larger diameter tires (rubber) on the standard 17 rims. But thanks, anyway!

[@kirkplacides7434]

Hello sir. when you changed your spare tire, is that the same size of stock, like 265/65 r17? or is it larger?

[@africaoverland]

Hey Kirk, I don’t recall changing the size of tyre just adding the BFG KO2’s. Yes the spare was changed to be the same. Unfortunately I don’t have the Fortuner anymore I bought a Landcruiser Troopy now. You can see it on Instagram @troopyinafrica
I now am trying out General Grabber X3’s made locally and much cheaper. @rolbos_overland_za on Instagram has a Fortuner and recommended them to me.

Awful noise aka ‘music’ makes this unwatchable

[@africaoverland]

But there is no music after it starts?🤔
