I have been searching previous posted threads but not found exact answers to my question. I have a defender 110 with double rear bilstein shocks, not sure of springs and air cushion inside spring. Vehicle have originally be rebuild for heavy load (safari and overland trips) The problem is...

Also my understanding Fett - on the market in the US as Edelbrock to sell better I guess? Yeah guess I'll live with the zenith for now and do he adjustments like all others ;) so balance tool might come in handy

Tanks to All - Your input really madeg me reconsider fitting the weber 500 - it is lots of money and with that I want 100% reliability. Then I'll rather continue having to open the bonnet now and then for adjustments

What kind of angles are we talking about here guys? extreme off road courses? Is it mostly side angles or also up/down?

Benz - you are very welcome to drop me a line once in Kenya before getting to Nairobi as I live there. Would be interesting to hear a few travel tales and I could serve a cold beer - [email protected]

Benz I agere with G and understand u'r perception on risk have changed sitting in Cairo lately. I do however think that as soon as your out of Cairo and that sooner rather than later :-) then you have pretty much same security situation on the eastern route down well into Kenya compared to same...

Cheers Rappy1 - not first time I hear that, but also talked to others doing off road which have not experienced problem!! Not going to spend that much money if I get less reliability in the bush :-)

Getting little tired of adjusting my two zenith cd 175's and was told that if I fitted the weber 500 I would never open the hood again in terms of adjusting the carb!! Also told hat I'll gain some more power and likely better economi? Downside is that the weber is rather expensive so is it...

Thanks Turtled - lots of info there

Same here - and getting rather confused :confused: But is it then correct to assume that easiest, cheapest and most efficient way to gain power and more torque is bigger block or larger capacity if I have 3.5l now? Hence if I fit 3.9l block to what I have is that possible or do I need other...

Yeah, good stuff - thanks for sharing your adventure

That is part of the adventure isn't it? :D ......... No, just by planning you your route you can avoid many of these issues - South Egypt and crossing into Sudan can be a challenge, and as Griffdowg note is Somalia (south/Central) no go, Puntland (northeastern Somalia) is Pirat land....so...

Agree - carry kit too especially when leaving vehicle in remote places of Africa. Have added rehydration salts which provides you will all the good stuff the pure water do not contain and water filter and headlamp. Otherwise good stuff

Depends of use, essentially I agree with Griffdowg reference the GPS60 - only downside I think is little screen. In my Landry and on my bike I have been very happy with my old Garmin GPS 278 - large screen, easy to navigate and can be picked up secondhand now with car kits etc. Although...

Thanks Poah & V8hotrodboy - I'm not really looking at increasing engine capacity but rather sticking with my 3.5 trying to get little extra kick out of it, I'm not looking for lots of power just want to be able to follow traffic on the Kenya mountain roads :) Also thought of the weber 500...
