You have little faith - the 75 is the vehicle of choice and mine will be higher spec and under £30k finished!!!

I'm about 70% into the build - it's kinda like a bomb has gone off right now as just starting to put it back together - looks rather good if I do say so myself.

Lovely preparation.... But got to ask ?

Are you expecting 'Trophy Trucks' coming at you from behind at 120 thro the dust...... Very Hi Viz tho

that's for the blind truck driver with one working headlamp on a Himalayan mountain pass to aim at

That's very close to the truth, my experience tells me that rear visibility is paramount!!!! Especially in Africa.

Have more lights to go on the rear roof rack and a cuffing great big LED rear fog light, one really can't be to careful.
