I can give you more detail when I have longer access to the internet.
www.africa-overland.net is a very good sight for current and past trips. There on a mountain of info on peoples webpages regarding equipment and changes to the vehicle.
Another page of a friend of mine who just got his car prepared by Footloose4x4.com in Peterborough.
