Mr Alford,
they are only driving overland, with children, you will frighten them to death if they think they need to reenact a Camel event

this is true but you never know! reference taking altenators starters etc u shud take that neway if ur doing mega long haul

If your taking a landy them you will need a lot of spares! Agree wilth Alford in that a spare alt should be taken along with some other bits. no need for a land anchor and a winch is personal choice.

as for boxes, Zarges come highly recommended. ive got 2 of these and they are great for sitting on, standing on, air tight, dust proof etc. sturdy, lightweight alu.

alternatively, ive also got a load of boxes from these chaps: Plastor - Plastic container and storage specialists

also very good at a fraction of the price. you can build them up as you like too, loads of sizes, combinations and options. very sturdy plastic. not tried to sit on one yet though. steer clear of most household boxes because they are made from brittle plastic and will crack/shatter. eventually they will be good for nothing and you may aswell take everything in bin liners! one other point is that both the zarges and plastor boxes have raised ridges on the lids so can be stacked neatly and securely.

you should have made a list of everything you want to take by now. split this into sections then work out what size boxes you will need, how many you will need. are the items heavy? would it be easier to split things into 2 boxes? etc etc.

hope this helps.

*i love boxes

If you want somthing that is a bit stonger you should have a look at Space Cases, they are sold over here by ARB, but you should be able to find them somewhere.

They are a bit pricey but they are almost impossible to kill and they do a good job of keeping the dust out.

Bought all my boxes from Anchor Supplies. Good ex military, their website is a bit poor on stock but catch them at a show and they do good deals

On August 8 we are off to South Africa for a 3 weeks tour with our Land Rover Defender 110! With our twin sons of 3,5 years old...

Here's our intinerary:
