    Imvubu!

    Here are a few favourite snaps of my Troll called "Imvubu" (which means hippo in Zulu). She has just over 240000 km on the clock and currently sports a Frontrunner full length roof rack, Ironman coils, TJM shocks and solenoid controlled trailer battery charging wiring. She rolls on 285/75R16 BFG Mud Terrain KM2 tyres. Most of the pictures are pre suspension lift, though.

    I was actually with a couple of guys from the Land Cruiser Club of Southern Africa on that trip and that picture was taken by a friend out of an 80 Series Crooza, so I am not sure if it was the Troll or the Toy that was the source of irritation and I was not going to hang around and find out. Those Tembe elephants are huge, intimidating buggers with massive tusks (even when compared to other African elephants). Here are some more pics from the same trip:
