Re: Newbie, looking to buy/kit an overland Hilux. Suggestion

I'm looking to overland to Tanzania from Cape Town.
Passing through Bots, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania & back down through Mozambique.
I may have 2 other passengers. So a double cab is probably preferred.
Budget of around 150k for vehicle & accessories.
