Thanks. It really makes sense about the engine. Of course a small cc new generation engine will probably be a lot more sensitive to bad fuel and will need to be revved harder (the Amarok is HEAVY !).
And if it breaks, I don't think that I have any chance to find spares out of South Africa, Western EU, some parts of SA and maybe Asia. In the rest of the world, the Toyotas are the kings...
I found your blog a few months ago, that's amazing. I think you are the one that made me think about a pickup for overlanding.

Looking at your pictures, you don't seem to have changed a lot of things on your Hilux. It didn't look like a Dakar rally car or coming directly from Mars, which is a HUGE advantage in these parts of the world...
What are your recommendations ? What are the things to modify or reinforce on an Hilux (in general, not especially on the newer ones) ?
