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, [...]

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 [...]

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.
