You don't really need any modifications. Most of the mods done are to make the process of driving more extreme routes or the overall process easier - such as its easier to have long range fuel tanks plumbed into the vehicle than using jerry cans, etc. But for going to Morrocco in a 2 wheel drive vehicle, you really don't need to do anything. Just make sure the vehicle is properly serviced, the tyres are in alright condition, etc. If you wanted to get some bits to help - maybe get a jerry can or two, so you have some emergency fuel for longer range, same with water cans. Possibly a some basic tools such as spanners, hammer, hacksaw, etc and some spare parts - heavy duty tape, maybe hoses, good spare tyre, possibly 2. However Morrocco isn't that hard and the areas you are likely to be going in a 2 wheel drive vehicle won't be that remote. Have fun.

Original tire dimensions for R4 are 135 and 145, but you can make it with 155/13.
165 is posible, but you dont know what it will do to your bottom.
You can also take extra tire.

There's a Toyota Landcruiser currently auctioned at ebay. The bidding is above the reserve price, so IMHO it's worth a look:

As for the original question, I would use an old Merc 123 say a 280 or even better, a 300diesal. They are everywhere over there and totally over engineered - oh, and very comfortable!

However, don't be supprised if you find new friends whenever you stop anywhere (they are used as taxis over there)

The winning bid for the 1989, G-Reg Land-Cruiser on Ebay? £32100!

I took a look at the bidding list, and it seems someone added a digit, and then someone else topped it... http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/smile.gif .

I'm guessing that will be a non-paying bidder, then!

Bugger, they ended the bidding and gave me no chance!

I'm wondering if Chris has still his 60 for sale. If so, he can get rich quickly!

Hi electro :
there is now a ferry boat linking Genova (Italy) to Tangiers (Morocco) this might shorten a little bit your tour and could be probably cheaper ...
