l'aventure au quotidien

First the winch improperly mounted (see photos), imagine the situation in 80 cm of water or mud, how to access the release lever stuck under the car (right). And despite this stubbornness in wanting to change nothing, it was necessary to involve WARN to explains how to mount this accessory on a appropriate bumper .
For the roof rack, it initially lacked details. It could actually withstand 200Kg, but they should have warned that on this vehicle the maximum load was 90 kg. And the result is below. Hull of roof torn in the slope of Mongolia. Disassembly, repair and storage in the vehicle of the surplus.
The following arrangements have been made for a long journey: bedding: the establishment of a pop-up roof was necessary and my choice is focused on a roof DORMOBILE type, such as former Land of the 60s. It stands in England DORMOBILE at Nursling near Southampton. Tim finds solutions to any problems. The equipment is wonderful over short distances and not rugged. The roof has suffered in off-road in Mongolia, and Cambodia and had to straps to secure it. While the opening is not very complicated and is done by the outside, dreadful on a rainy day..... Also, after several days' journey, it unfortunately does not offer the comfort desired. Range: DORMOBILE also installed a diesel tank of 127 liters instead at place of original, another of 48 liters in the right rear fender and an additional 50 liters in the left flank, in all gravity flow to the main tank. Total capacity of 225 liters, and a range autonomy of almost 2000 km. Aluminum grilles, Snorkel, spare wheels on front bonnet and rear door, and a gas cylinder fixed in the left rear fender. An air compressor housed in the right front fender. A water reserve of 55 liters was mounted on the right side, feeding inside a valve via a 12v pump. A forced air heating, "Airtop WEBASTO diesel 2000", with the exhaust outside. Efficient, it warms up quickly and is well regulated by the thermostat. Refrigerator purchased from NEB, ref: 41L Vitrifrigo i, 10 -10, and automatic converter, 12v/220v.
Land Rover Defender 110 HT
This 4x4 vehicle has proven itself for decades, and stays with the Toyota HDJ the vehicles recommended for these long journey around the world. Two different vehicles, but both reliable. As a Land Rover man for nearly 30 years, my choice was easy. For long trips, the 110 is well suited by its wheelbase, which absorbs well the bumps and makes it more comfortable, suited also for its robustness and torque. vehicle: Land Rover Defender 110 Hard Top Truck, 2004, 3 doors, seats three, TD5 Turbo Diesel Engine. A winch purchased and installed by Land Rover, with a roof rack and an additional wheel. Although sympathetic but also sellers rather than experts, the Land Rover dealership in Compiègne Oise (60) created a lot of trouble on my purchase.
