It Ain’t Easy … considering to sell Wohni

Some of you may know our beloved 4×4 Camper “Wohni” … which, believe it or not, we are considering to sell. It actually hurts and pulls my stomach and I couldn’t just simply ‘chuck’ this into any classifieds section. Building Wohni was fulfilling a dream and the vehicle is like a family member, especially to the . . . → Read More: It Ain’t Easy … considering to sell Wohni

Desert Rain

Desert Rain #1

Desert Rain #1

The rainfall that year (2008/2009) was one the highest ever recorded. The thunderstorms moved all the way down into the Namib Desert and the Tsauchab River, thundering through the Sesriem Canyon, filled Sossus Vlei with water for the first time in many years. I jumped into Wohni, and started chasing the weather. The . . . → Read More: Desert Rain

What’s Up & New @ Wohni.com (June 2010)

Regular visitors will have noticed two things, the blog was quiet for about a year or so only to eventually completely disappear from cyberspace during May and most of June.
The former was simply due to other priorities, the latter due to a fatal server crash and the subsequent desperate efforts to reinstate and upgrade the blog . . . → Read More: What’s Up & New @ Wohni.com (June 2010)

About Them Wheel Spacers

Boat Hauler

Sorry for the recent (1 year) silence, but the blog had to take a back seat in my live and Wohni became more of a boat hauler and base camp at the dam than the bundu basher it was built to be. What can I say, anything for the kids, right? Right!

Anyhoo, I know . . . → Read More: About Them Wheel Spacers

Wheel Spacers – I’ll have some please

I have basically made up my mind and ordered a pair of 2″ wheel spacers from Snake Racing Australia.

By now we have now done about 5000kms through all sorts of terrain and when fully loaded for 5 days in the wilderness, we are quite heavy (close to 3.5t methinks). It was neither the dune driving, nor . . . → Read More: Wheel Spacers – I’ll have some please

The Schroeder Handicap

The short and sweet of it is, that the bodywork at large and integration of the cabin is top notch. However, pursuant to some testing and trips and as early as at the time of picking up Wohni, flaws started to become apparent when “looking a bit closer”, the sum of them bordering on being a . . . → Read More: The Schroeder Handicap

Wohni Is Finished

Howdy All,

Sorry for the long silence and thank you for your continued support and visits. We hope you had an enjoyable festive season and wish you and yours all the best for 2009.
As I said in the last post – way too long ago I know, but I promise I will make up for it, as . . . → Read More: Wohni Is Finished

Waiting for Wohni & Nothing to Blog

Sooo, with Wohni still being light years away, physically and space-time-continuum wise, at least that’s what another guesstimated 3 weeks feels like at this stage, I am slowly but surely running out of things to contemplate and write about. Other then, what to do first when s/he is here and where to go and what to . . . → Read More: Waiting for Wohni & Nothing to Blog

About Wheel Spacers & Australia’s Largest Dune

In true and typical raging research mode, I went on a quest on the Internet looking for answers to a seemingly simple question, Wheel Spacers – Good or Bad? I posted the question on three different bush whacking, rock smacking, hardcore 4×4 forums, one in South Africa, one in the USA and the other in Oz. . . . → Read More: About Wheel Spacers & Australia’s Largest Dune
