We Actually Do Some Walking

We Actually Do Some Walking

I’d say its not normal but I would be lying, we normally cover some serious ground in towns on foot, although not as bad when I took Sean on a 10km tiki tour that led to an apartment block across town instead of an old fort… oops. Wonder if it works? Leaving the hotel...
Wanna Go To Ukraine Next Week?

Wanna Go To Ukraine Next Week?

Its Thursday night, we have not received a call for work… Chernobyl scrolls across the screen on the tv for shows to watch. “Hey wanna go check out Ukraine?” Night 1 stop over Anyways, we have now booked a ferry for the wagon and I am off and running to get all packed...
The Big 300

The Big 300

  After leaving Australia at 265k we finally ticked over the 300k mark in Turkey. The car has been running great although does require your standard maintenance that is performed before most trips as you would expect, as the roads we normally try to drive add a...
To The Gods

To The Gods

After the D915 drive I figured it was time to see how wild of roads I could find.  I guess for this blog I will just let the photos do the talking, I winded my way through about 75kms worth of crazy switch backs, loose rock slopes, thick fog and walked away okay....
Parting Ways

Parting Ways

The call came, the dreaded call… “Hello, Asareh, your apartment smells like dead fish like the fridge has quit” Ahhh man, we quickly book a flight as we hadn’t left a key with anyone back in Antalya and Asareh will be on her way home in no time at all. Luckily at the...
D915, Does It Match The Hype?

D915, Does It Match The Hype?

The tent is pooling some water this morning so my wake up call is brutal and quick. But a coffee makes all okay. We have 1 thing to do today and this is to drive the D915. So we hammer straight to Bayburt for a refuel and head north. The road starts very easy and is...
Pull Over!

Pull Over!

We wake up to a stunning view on the edge of the cliff after a peaceful night. We wash up in the spring and head straight back into tunnels, I figure it almost works out to be 30kms worth of tunnels overall but broken up into pieces.  Heading out we travel past a few...
The Boring Blog

The Boring Blog

Haha, get it? Cause of the giant tunnels we go through? We must first start our trip leaving last nights camp where the last few water crossing are causing the wagon to stay locked in 4wd due to water in some switches which is odd as to date has never happened again....
What’s That Smell?

What’s That Smell?

In the morning there is a bit of confusion at the hotel as I try to sort a good workshop, but by luck the parking lot attendant knows a very good workshop, we head on out to Teknikeren garaj where I am introduced to Eren. A top-notch bloke who helps me with the wagon...
Mt. Nemrut

Mt. Nemrut

We wake to a lovely warm day. Perfect for the exploring we will be doing, except on top of Mt. Nemrut the wind is howling depending on which side you are on. It’s a steep drive but an easy drive for any vehicle 2 or 4wd. When we arrive at the top we parked and were...
Water’s Rising

Water’s Rising

Today we back track into town to do a restock, a rather lazy day overall. We start with heading back about 20kms to Kahta for meat and vegetables. A simple shop just to ensure our next few days are stress free and good eating. On our way back in we stop at Karakus...
How Long Is The Tour?

How Long Is The Tour?

Waking up in Gaziantep, we have a lovely breakfast in the hotel before going out for a walk in town. We walk past spices, and dried fruits and a multitude of copper wares, yet still… no cup of christ, my dream of being indi continues, Asareh hates it. You will find as...
Men Of Rock

Men Of Rock

Where do we start today, it was a mish mash of side roads into the mountains then back onto the main road for 5 kms then we would whip into the next side track. But of course, that is not before we start with breakfast and a lazy coffee. Moving into town we cross a...
Coastal Cruising

Coastal Cruising

With the test run a success Asareh suggests we head down the coast, and like I would ever say no to her ideas. We spend the next week collecting everything we need and before we know it, the Paj is loaded and ready to go. We get a decently early exit from home and...
Gearbox and Go

Gearbox and Go

With our return from Iran (Blogs to follow) we decide against the rental car and make the plan to get the wagon running asap. With tools and oils at home, I call a friend who then tows the wagon out onto an old house foundation where I will begin my day. Starting...
The Stress is Killing Us…

The Stress is Killing Us…

We spend the next few days before Sean has to leave relaxing and getting our Kebab on. But of course, you can’t leave a country without a good old fashioned transmission removal. What a heavy beast. We nail it in 4 hours though and the box is tucked into the wagon...
Who’s Got The Keys?

Who’s Got The Keys?

There is nothing better than getting to port and discovering that the container key is missing… But more on that later. Let’s go back a couple days. Picture: A bus… I have never been on a bis for an actual trip, for work yes but never like this, so I suggest me and...
Turkey – 2021

General Modifications

General Modifications

  Touchy topic, some people prefer old school, some prefer to have every gadget under the sun in their wagon. I have tried hard to meet somewhere in the middle to not only keep the weight down. Which I am still over GVM, But I can’t lose much else. There is...
Electrical

Electrical

Where to begin, you have such a range in today’s day and age to pick from, from a simple to isolator, to a super complex system that monitors every aspect and runs coffee machines. For the sake of simplicity, I will stick with just describing my mid-range setup. It’s...

Nullagine Reunion

Up early, I have a look at the old haul truck parked up, you can see into the engine. Super cool.  before a quick bit of power adding to the wagon. Bit more fuel to get it moving.  A quick phone call lets me know Asareh is on her way to the airport to meet friends in...
Hammer Down

Hammer Down

Blasting along the highway at a blistering 97ish kmh I push all the way to Newman from Perth in 1 day. It seems I have a headwind regardless of the direction I travel, putting a speed cap on the old rig.  Speaking of old rig, I did a few upgrades and added a roof rack...
And That’s A Wrap For Now

And That’s A Wrap For Now

The last day of our big trip, we motor back to Joburg over 2 days, I find I may have also done my steering rack in, which from the abuse makes sense. Its leaking like mad so to slow the leak and save the pump I add diff oil, steering is obviously a bit heavier but it...
Port Elizabeth and the Pajero Club

Port Elizabeth and the Pajero Club

These couple of days worth of blog are a bit hazy, as there was some booze consumed. We will jump straight into it though. We wake up and I clean a few items out of the wagon, mainly the blue boxes as everything else is bolted down as today is the day I meet the Port...
Double Down

Double Down

We have a rough night as we had a bit of water coming in through the ports, odd, but we deal with it. Its normal for a boat anyways. We are guided on how breakfast works, which wasn’t exactly all inclusive, as we actually have to pick a place to eat and there is a...

Birthday Boy

Its my Birthday!!   Waking up Asareh is able to shower before the water can even boil, we are totally out of LPG, but that’s alright, we still got coffee.  We start motoring south towards our destination of cape town.  Asareh has booked us in at a special hotel...
Something Fishy

Something Fishy

Waking up still in thick fog, it feels like something from silent hill. It takes absolutely ages for coffee, this gas issue is becoming a problem. But we figure we will only be camping 1 more night as we are headed back in towns for the rest of the trip. We pack up...
Chilli Bacon Baby

Chilli Bacon Baby

Seriously, always take advantage of showers and laundry when it’s available. We head south to Springbok, grabbing fast food for the first time in ages, burger and pizza. But in a change of events we found Chilli bacon, now this is an amazing treat and if I am found...
Back In Za

Back In Za

  The sun finally peeks over the range, but the wind has not left. We are both not overly well rested. We get up and I drive the wagon down the track a few 100 meters to move around an old wall to take the tent down, this was a struggle. But we make it happen...
The Big Windy

The Big Windy

  We tried to stay an extra night in town, but the place was fully booked, so instead of looking for a new place we start heading south which is a good idea as we only have 2 more days left in the country before we overstay our visas. Packing up and a quick...

Windhoek Bound

Making a quick exit from the hotel gets our day running.  On the hunt for a good carwash as the wagon is 10 pounds heavier in just salt crust. I find a place with underbody washing so up on the ramps she goes. We grab a coffee and relax, it takes about 30 minute to a...

Swako, Sushi, And Seals

Seafood is all we want, it’s been months since we have had anything fish related. So we proceed south, on route we pass a seal colony so we stop in, I had no idea how loud they are, let alone stinky. You basically walk through them, very cool, babies all over. We even...

Ugab River Run

Ugab River Run

No one wakes up happy today; I am in slightly better shape and meander for breakfast. Asareh sleeps till 11, and even then was not feeling very well at all. Lunch really did a number. To fill in the time I do some cleaning and small repairs on the wagon. With Asareh...
The White Lady

The White Lady

Back in the wagon I cut across the back routes and we head south towards white lady, we stop about 10kms south for lunch. Russians and ciders. A good call as it’s a bit cool out with the wind. A family of giraffes wander around just down from the wagon paying us no...

Van Zyls Pass

Van Zyls Pass

Van Zyls Pass today!!!  We are a little nervous as this has been rated as the hardest pass in Africa due to remoteness and how hard the track actually is. I had been in contact with Dawid from the pajero club who had been through 2 days before us, and he said he would...

Waking up around 830, we are in no real rush today as we only have a short drive to Epupa. It takes us till 11 to get moving. 3 hour drive is ahead of us.  The road has been upgraded over the years to the anger of a few travellers as now anyone can use it which causes...

Drivetrain

Drivetrain

In this blog I will do a quick run down on the mods I have done for this wagon to make it more reliable and carry the weight better.  I’m a firm believer that if you match your spring rates to your vehicle you don’t require 3000+ in aftermarket suspension to maintain...
Wait Wait, Turn Around

Wait Wait, Turn Around
