Nee, dis Standard Bank. Maar die storie word nou teveel vir my. In tussen sit ek sonder 'n alarm :( Beste van als, ekt so bitjie gekyk.

WayneSchalk

Hans dit hang maar af wat jy wil spandeer. Ek glo Gabriel Safaries is die beste koop teen daai prys

Ek het Bilstein in gesit, maar daan ek het die Fortuner, en dis maar in 'n poging om te verhoed dat die gat hang as ek sleep

WayneSchalk

Wayne... klink vir my soos Outsurance. Anyway... lang storie kort. Kry daai eerste ouens wat jy uit gekry het om te bevestig dat dit weerligskade is. Gaan polisie toe en kry 'n beëdigde verklaring dat jy nie met die stelsel gepeuter het nie. Gaan dan na die versekering toe en dring daarop aan dat h...

WayneSchalk

Perhaps someone can give me some advise on what to do? In mid January my wife showed me that the alarm system is "off", now we did have lightning storms every other day then so I just assumed that was the problem, I called my security company to come have a look. The technician said lightn...

Just one of those stories that I have to share. It takes you on a roller coaster of emotions, hats off to all involved. https://www.youtube.com/watch?x-yt-cl=84411374&feature=player_embedded&v=oGDQPOJ9Luw&x-yt-ts=1421828030 Three years after a brutal poaching attack, Thandi the rhino gav...

It puts it all in perspective :? I got my inverter, 4000w pure sign wave, and at least 2 x 102Ahr to start with. I will be running my lights, all LED. And a coupe of dedicated plugs for the TV, fridge, alarm and electric fence. I'll do the math and total cost once all is done. I'd better get going t...

WayneSchalk

I have a 4000w puresignwave inverter, and 3 x 100ahr batteries. Looks like I will have to get that installed very fast

WayneSchalk

Pieter, I am as lazy as you. keep them on but have a look at each obstacle if there is someone who can drive in front of you, if it looks to difficult just bail out.

You don't want to damage the tents or worse before your trip....

WayneSchalk

I liked this one at Ngepi

WayneSchalk

En toe het die Mazda so paar keer gebreek, maar niks wat duct tape nie kan reg maak nie

WayneSchalk

Nog so paar.

WayneSchalk

Die was op die boot by Walvis

WayneSchalk

Nog so paar van Swakop, daarna het ons na Walvisbaai gery om op 'n boot uit tek gaan vir die oggend, en toe by duin 7 'n bier gaan drink, hulle het op die dag klomp 4x4's daar gehaad en leker speelgoed.

WayneSchalk

Ok hier gaan ons weer, steeds in Swakop.

See was koud maar ek sien hom seker net 1 keer 'n jaar so ons moes vir 'n swem gaan

Daar is. Sal hulle laai. Jamer net besig by die werk

WayneSchalk

So after our stay at Torra we headed down to Swakop for a couple of days, we managed to find a camping spot at Tiger Reef.

Here is some pics of the Southwest Seal shipwreck.

WayneSchalk

En toe vang my pa 2 kabeljoutjies, en toe braai ons

WayneSchalk

My buddy Johan het toe sy eerste vis gevang

, 'n Steenbras, soos gewoonlik vang ek niks...

WayneSchalk

Nog so paar.

Welcome back, kan nie wag vir jul trip report nie

WayneSchalk

The next day we moved on, we where heading to Torra Bay :yahoo: , so down to Opuwo to get supplies, and then we got on to the C43 gravel road that would take us through Otjomatemba Pass, Palmwag and into Skeleton Coast National Park via Springbokwasser Gate. Here I lost a tire with a sidewall cut :(...

WayneSchalk

From Ruacana Falls we attempted to go up to Kunene River lodge and up to Epupa Falls via the Cunene 4wd trail but the rain made it impossible. We could not even make it to Kunene River Lodge and ended up turning around and settling in at another lodge, I forgot the name but will find it.

WayneSchalk

And so it was time to move on, we hit the road to Ruakana, it was a long day so we checked in at Ruacana Eha Lodge for the night, and on to the falls,

Apparently they had a fault on one of the turbines so they we got to see the falls in flood.

WayneSchalk

Sorry for the slow progress on the trip report, I am the only one in office

Here is that last ones of Ngepi, the showers is quite something.

I will definitely give Ngepi 10 out of 10, the people is very friendly and they have a very nice setup

Croc hunting at 01:00 is probably not fueled by beer, but by BRANNAS

Captain Morgan......

WayneSchalk

Nog 'n paar van Ngepi,

WayneSchalk

So still at Ngepi, we met up with some local guys that worked at the lodge, had a couple of drinks and the next moment one of the guys mentioned there is a 1meter crock in a dam that they had to remove, so off we went crock hunting @ 1:00 in the morning...

WayneSchalk

Will post some more tomotrow. Miss it already...

Ngepi was quite something

That is always the idea, but does not always work out like that

It would be easier for me to lose weight then packing less things.... Angela has a secret stash that she brings out after everything is packed, so the less I pack the more she packs

WayneSchalk

Here is the photo of the "multy plug" I put together, had it for a while. Just had to get it back from my toppie.

It has got 4 Hella plugs, and the Volt/Amp meter. It is only for the fridge, and some LED lights.

Lets talk cutlery and crockery, what do you use on a camping trip? I am specifically interested in pots and pans, but want to know all of it. 1. Cups, I don't mind melamine, cannot do steel mugs, they get too hot. 2. Plates and bowls I also use melamine and bowls Ithe ones that fit into each other. ...

Hi Wayne, I did the Pajero myself but there were instructions from Frontrunner. So I do have an idea what I am letting myself into!! [FLUSHED FACE] The main reason I do these type of jobs myself is that I believe I take better care and am more careful than a fitment center. How will I know that the...

WayneSchalk

Thanks Roderick. I found the video and am sure it will help. I modified my old Pajero's roofrack to a size that will look good on the XtraCab. Now just to gather the courage to fit the rails!! Derik, If it was me, I would take it to a reputable fitment center, ie. Frontrunner. They do it all day ev...

Diameter? Want as hy sê maar 6mm is gaat jy sukkel om gaatjie in sy middel geboor te kry sonder om watookal om hom is raak te boor met 'n rond-glyende boor. As jy hom kan groef sal jy hom dalk kan uitskroef, maar die probleem is dat jy hom 10 teen 1 met 'n spanner so vas gedraai het dat jy die kop ...

Hy vat 'n 10 spanner, so ek hoop ek kry hom uit, dit pla my verskriklik

WayneSchalk

So, lekker gemors aangejaag, EK het die naweek die roof rails van die tuna af gehaal en die roofrack op gesit. Voor ek myself kon kry draai ek een van die skroewe se kop af :wacko:

Hoe nou manne? wat maak ek?

WayneSchalk

Ag nee

dis nie lekker nie

I had this on my Land Cruiser, the cap has a breather, but I changed mine and made no difference, the OEM tank does have another breather on top and that could get blocked, perhaps the air sits in the long range tank and I don't know if that has a breather. Come to think of it, mine had a negative p...

Just keep an eye on rain fall closer to time, Hunters can become a real nightmare, becomes a flood plane. We are planning a very similar trip (just in reverse and including Vic falls) for January... Is that a bad idea with the rain in picture?? You will have to have a plan B, when you are up there ...
