My new desert Rover

Tembo

topless adventures
Having just come back from Tunisia on expoedition, thought I would post about the latest addition to the PPE fleet: 'Shimi' the 1982 ex-Dutch mil Lightweight. The truck, which has been retrofitted with a de-turbo'd 200Tdi and Discovery gearing, performed flawlessly in the desert. Given the light weight and short break-over angles, it ended up in the role of scout searching for routes through the sand seas. Where originally our 2019 expedition took three 110's and a single Lightweight, next year we are planning a return with two or more Lightweights and maybe 1-2 110s as support trucks. Was great doing what these trucks were meant for...
