Hi Guys,
I am a new member. I would like to introduce myself.
I am a Belgian. I am currently building my new car in Cape Town, South Africa.
I will be traveling around Africa for a year, then six months in South America and finally six months in Central Asia.
Actually, I have no real plan. I will just go with the flow and see where it leads me.
My goal is to get tips from overlanders who have done what I am about to do. If you know an amazing camp, fantastic scenery or a place to avoid, please let me know.
I am also happy to drive along with anyone friendly for a few days or a week.
My rig: 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser 79
Current location: Cape Town, South Africa
Experience: Experienced

New member from West Phoenix. Been a while since the wife and I have been off road. Recently bought a newer Jeep Cherokee, our 7th Jeep overall, but its still been a while since we owned our last one. Looking forward to getting back off road and doing some camping. Nothing hardcore, just getting out to the desert and away from the city every now and then.

Just curious - What leveling kit did you go with and how is it holding up off-road? Thanks!
