This does not include camping accessories, .......................

The total is almost as much as what I bought my Hilux for, the scary part is, everyone says you can not charge for extras when selling the vehicle................

[OOOOMS]

This is correct Johannes...scary!

However the premium you pay for accessories is little by comparison

PS. Johannes you forgot a few items......rock sliders, seat covers and I am sure a few more..... :wink2:

[MOFASA]

The total is almost as much as what I bought my Hilux for, the scary part is,:twisted:

Well if you ever wanna sell take it all off or charge for it.....
Some one will see the cost in it and pay for it....
I know if i had that kind of money i would pay to have all that.....

everyone says you can not charge for extras when selling the vehicle................ I think thats just BULL

Johno, the problem is that the item's / extra's have little second hand value usually below 50% :wink2:

[ThysdJ]

Jonno, you are right, it is bull...

BUT, it limits your market a lot. Most guys dont want a vehicle with all the extras, and would rather go and look at a "clean" vehicle than one where extras are included. I would not want to buy a vehicle with all those extras, because I already have 90% of it, and I dont want to be stuck with selling 2nd hand kit to recoup my expense.

It is brilliant for somebody who comes new into the whole 4x4 thing,and they want a "package deal". So if you want a quick sale, strip off the extras, and sell seperately, of discount the extras heavily. Otherwise,price it in, but you are going to wait a long time for the right buyer...

Thats the long and the short of it..

[Johannes van die See]

Wel met 150,000km op die klok is my lux nog nuut en kan ek al die extras nog vir jare lank geniet so ek dink nie aan verkoop nie, maar ek dink dit gaan my versekering erg op stood.

Mark jy is reg, ek het heelwat goed vergeet om te noem soos die rock sliders, seat covers, vars water tank ens.
My versekerings makelaar is ook n persoonlike vriend van my en hy het voorgestel dat ek met die hoë rusiko RTH trip my goed moet spesifiseer, dis hoekom ek die lys begin het. Nooit besef ek kon eintlik nog n Hilux gekoop het met die extra uitgawes nie. Dank Vader alles is klaar betaal en ek sit nie met skuld op die goed nie.

Wie sal my ooit R250,000 gee vir dit alles?
Nee wat dis myne om te hou!

If you had also listed the portable camp light in ammo box that would have taken the value to well over R200K

[zepplin]

Johannes, off topic I know, but what did you use for the pole inter connectors?

[Johannes van die See]

Johannes, off topic I know, but what did you use for the pole inter connectors?

I'm not sure what you mean, are you talking about the electrical wire connections?
I soldered it directly onto the LED strip at the top and connected it to a Hella plug at the bottom.......

[zepplin]

Actually the tubes connecting the tent poles..........I can't seem to find any tube sections with an ID of 8mm which is the OD of my poles.

[Johannes van die See]

Okay now I understand.
My tent pole had the tubes on it as is, all I did was I used a hacksaw to cut the glassfible tubes to lengte of the Ammo box.

The best way is to insure those items when you go on holiday, and then removing them from insurance once you return. Obviously some items like winches, tires etc you can't remove, for if you in an unfortunate event end up in an accident.

[KOBUSL]

Die goue reel is natuurlik om 'n mede 4x4 mens as kurator aan te stel. Dis nou as jy deurgebreek het na die nuwe wereld. My grootste vrees is dat mevrou van die goed ontslae gaan raak ( dis 'n feit ) vir die prys wat ek haar gese het ek betaal het . lol

Maar dis soos Thys gese het : jy wag net langer vir die regte koper, maar hy is daar. En as jy na 10 jaar of so wil vernuwe is jou goed al goed gebruik, en wie wil nou ou goed op 'n nuwe bakkie sit ? Vir my moet alles maar hou tot die end, sal nie weer 'n nuwe bakkie kan inrig soos die huidige nie.
