[Where would I source these from?]

I am after a couple of those doors/lockers I have seen on a couple of vehicles, that fit exactly where the rear windows on a Defender are.

They lift up on a gas ram allowing access to the rear load space from the sides, and I think they lock with a paddle lock. They are exactly the same size and shape as the windows.

Any ideas where they come from?

Is this what you are looking for, might be able to help with a empty locker excluding the fittings. We used one on a trip up Africa and found it very useful as utensiles were kept in an easy organosed manner and easy to come by. If interested contact me on raye@sky.com and I will see what I can do.

[Southern Africa in a 90]

Hello All

I am putting together a trip to southern Africa for 5 months hopefully shipping my D90 into Namibia and doing a loop round southern Africa

My questions are around fitting out a 90 for this type of trip, I know most people use a 110\130 for this type of trip but there is only 2 of us going and I already have a 90 that is fitted out for off-road but not for expeditions. and I am kind of attached to it so I want to use it if possible.

As we are single vehicle I am not planning on heading to far into Bush or off the beaten path as is is my first trip to the region.

So the question is

Does anyone have a overland equipped 90 out there that can send me some pictures of how you have yours loaded???

Any does or don't with a 90 ?

.Also where do you fit the fridge ect?

Any must do Mods for them?

My biggest concern is fuel storage as I want to spend a week around Moremi\Savuti withoug having to keep heading back to maun to re-fuel, and also there are a few long stretches that I will need more than a tank and a few cans for

Have a look at Front Runner, http://www.frontrunner.co.za , who are very experienced in supplying (contact them for UK outlets) and if in SA fitting expedition equipment. They do a rear fender mounted fuel tank. As for the fridge they also manufacture a fridge slider which is fitted above a Wolf Pack Slider (4 wolf packs) mounted in the rear of your vehicle with access through the rear door. We travelled from SA to the UK using their Roof Rack and aforementioned equipment without any problems. Further advise, only carry what is needed as most of the equipment you think you will need is never used and uses unnecessary space and only adds on extra weight (be as light as possible). Unless you really go into the sticks, most of the roads in Namibia, Botswana and SA are generally in fair to good condition and we never had need for any special protection equipment, under body, roll cages, etc., simple don't get yourself into situations you can't get out of. Hope this helps.
