Great pics, thanks for posting them. Certainly looks like a good time was had by all.

Just a couple of questions though, why did you pick a SWB over a LWB for the trip? Would you have found the extra room of use or would you have ended up taking too much gear?

[Drift]

He only has a SWB fronty, the other was the Disco, but being a V8 it gets thirsty

yea thats right drifty,,,,only got the swb,,,,,,but i did the prep took only what i needed and traveled light so it was no real problem she performed well,,,,
overloading your truck is a big problem i see it all the time down here theres a place just outside the boarder called the sands and everyweek i see people loaded up with as much as they can carry,,,then you see the overlander travler who has just the right amount of kit,,,,
should get a FOG trip up to morocco,,, ,,,,,get a few of you and i will take you down there,,,,,,,,now that would be good and you would love it,,,

Wow, looks like an fabby trip! Not sure about the ice on the trucks tho, was it no a wee bit chilly at night? Some of those tracks look brilliant

[Big Dav]

You must surely be the envy of every true 4x4 user. May I ask if you had to modify the car in any way to accomodate the roof tent?

[Big Dav]

Thanks King', answered my question and has given me an idea for the young fella. Lastly though, does the access ladder form part of the stability for the extended platform of the tent when it is in position? Thanks again, David.

YEA ITS ADJUSTABLE AND HOLDS UP THE ONE SIDE,,,,

[Big Dav]

Thank you.

ok just worked out fuel used and mpg,,,

we traveled 1159 miles
used approx 42 gallons petrol or 185.5 lts
so we averaged 27.6 mpg approx
that was fully loaded and off road so i dont think that was to bad.
cost 185 ltrs @ 10.7 dirram a ltr 1979.5 dirrams

1979 dirrums,,,, divided by 13 dirrams to the pound is approx £152.23 for fuel,,,not bad ehhh,
