i want one.
but that load on the roof scared me a bit, probably only a roof tent, but it looks seriously top heavy.
but how about where it can go - when it gets bogged, it will be a lot further from civilisation than we can walk, or take a tow vehicle.

couldn't help but notice the pause and gear selection.
Outstanding!
Punched dunes like that in the Great Sandy but never with that load.

I personally have had an FFR so deep in the crap that I had to get out of tail cause the doors wouldnt open... the winch was 2 feet under the mud:D:D.. Mog ended up saving me by skull dragging me out..boss said "didn't you see the other vehicle tracks around the mud" I did but we we're having a bit of fun.. I said " no sir it was poor light ";)

Most people sleep on top of the vehicle and put their gear inside but because of the places he is visiting I dare say its safer sleeping inside,then you run the risk of your load on top being stolen.

Kie4, I thought it would have had Salisbury Diffs, and a bit more in the way of aux. tanks underneath.
