I found towing down van Zyl's much easier than expected. Given a trailer that has the same or better ground clearance than the tow car one can virtually ignore the trailer behind. It will follow the same tracks as the car. (Provided the wheel distances are the same). Van Zyl's is rough but not really steap. It is downhill mainly, so traction is not so important. It would be impossible to do van Zyl's up with any trailer on tow. Even solo would be a major challange. However if you wish to tackle this route with a trailer be sure it is of decent quality and made for off-road. Ps. My son accompanied us on this tour and he towed a Jurgens Oryx down with a Hilux at the same time.

Please let me know what the details are on that bullbar. My boss has just bought a pajero like yours but needs a bumper.
Thanks
Thanks
Hi Marius,
What you see on my car is a nudgebar from Frontrunner in Kyalami. I understand they no longer carry this item but I’m sure if you phone around you will find similar products from other dealers.
It really is only a cosmetic item and is worth nothing as a bumper. The support brackets are just too flimsy. Frontrunner would obviously love to sell you a complete off-road replacement bumper if you wish!

Hi Bigwill, I like your photos, it looks like a lot of fun, but I’m sure there must have been a Toyota involved somehow!
Thank The Man

Strange The Man should mention that. With the backup of a Pajero the Totota could also boast with a successful completion.
