Ah yes, we were young and agile, in those days... what a little love nest that tent was, we’d head up the ladder on the front, tucked in behind the bull bar you can’t see it in the photo. Never once fell out, no matter how banjaxxed, and on several occasions pretty much jumped all the way in without touching sides, with a cape buffalo or hippo on our tail. Still got that roof tent, its sitting in the shed taking up space... selling that truck was a very sad day, it carried on for years in East Africa until it was sold again. Probably still going. 1993 Hilux Raider, SA made, 4Y 2.2 petrol engine, factory diff lock. Cape to the Sahara and back again and everywhere in between. Good times.

Typical Tanzanian road in the Selous area.... 4 days to do 380km. Take yer time!
