That didn't quote quite right...

There's always 2016. I'd love to go next year, but will have to wait till 2016 trip. Give you plenty time to save up and prep the motor. Sure there'll be a couple of other going from this thread too... Garsides, Oldun and Mikescubba no doubt :)

if you need more than a fuel tank full you are very lost.We got round without filling the jerry cans and only filled them for the trip home.

If you have an absorption fridge, make sure it's got plenty of ventilation, if not it'll be no use in Morocco. I thought ours had failed, it hadn't, it just couldn't get it cool enough. 20 below ambient is ok, but when it's 44 deg C it's not much cop, plus we had built ours into the rear storage...

If we were prepping again, we wouldn't go with the 2" lift, you only sink further down in the sand, and you do sink!!! Winch is a good extra, we definatley used ours (a lot) and so did oldun. Two of the 5 vehicles had a winch. Sand will get everywhere, the underside of ours now looks like...

As for food, we took mostly tinned stuff and some boil in the bag meals courtesy of HM forces ;) we've actually still got most of the stuff still in the rangy. Should still be good for 2016 ;)

We had Bearmarc blue springs +2 " lift and terrafirma hd+2 shocks on ours. Turns out one of the shocks had leaked so has been replaced under warranty. Chap from terrafirma asked 'Has it been off roading much' .... er, no not much :eek:

12v compressor fridge just won on flebay... all for the princely sum of £3.75 :) Will get it on test to see what sort of current draw it takes.

thanks for putting the link up Mike,think we should get Ken on FB.

maybe just get pump fettled and a remap, much easier than engine swap after seeking advice etc. Need becm and all the electronicals sorting then... remap much easier and probably do what we need....

Well, seems we have all the spares we need now. Just bought another p38 on flebay. No t or t but runs fine and all the spares we need :)

As spacedawg says, to get the best out of it you need to SWR it up and make sure it, and the cb have good earths. Ken probably had a good earth with it being on the bullbars. Roofracks are ok as long as you get a good earth to the vehicle. If you have plastic or rubber protectors on your roof...

That's like the one we fit to ours. There are no fitting instructions with it, they don't speak any English. I fit ours after lots of marking up and test fitting / holding in place etc. Suffice to say it held out on our recent trip through the Moroccon desert and is still working a treat now...

I'll find my POi's and some waypoints from last trip. I'll also try type up some simple instructions for you all, should you need them.

So, lots of options for mapping. Depends on what tablet you're taking. Obviously you need to download the maps before you go. I used OpenStreetMaps on my pokey HTC desire, downloaded detailed map of morocco on the friday morning before we left. It has user contributed roads and tracks, even...

I got one of these but i'm going to get one of these

You'll also want a good tyre compressor. The t-max dual jobbies are pretty good, think Spacedawg had one. Mine wasn't too bad but they get bloody hot airing up 4 big tyres.
