Hi, my name's Simon Forbes
I'm new to the forum (and fairly new to forums generally - sorry if I don't know the protocol straightaway)
I'm preparing a land cruiser 95 2001 3 litre diesel for a one year tour of africa mainly on back roads but also off road in game reserves etc.
I'm wondering what's the best way to avoid damage to the underside of the vehicle from rocks etc. Two possibilities seem to be:
1 Adding plates to the sump gearbox transfer box etc.
2 Jacking up the suspension a few inches (with the obvious disadvantages)
The cruiser will have two occupants and 450kg of weight in the back (equipment, supplies etc)
I'd be grateful for any advice on which would be better or any other mods that people have tried.
Thanks in advance
Simon
