That looks like a Frontrunner BBQ/Braai/cooking grate depends on which country you are from

Brilliant spot on...a very good idea...we have in the past used a plough disc with three tent pegs but I will investigate that thanks

Come on back to the thread but great memories and images Thanks...happy motoring

Now I need to know what is the apparatus on the spare wheel of PT 2B 005...first impression a metal cooking plate...but no idea really?

Have a look at the spare wheel in the pic...DaveB found it to be BBQ plate called Frontrunner...smart idea out of the road...happy motoring

All I will add is that it works best with one of these as well.

Negates the need for a rear ladder as it can be taken on and off and they are brilliant (and no, I don't work for Frontrunner but have their gear and it is very well made and does what it is designed to do)

Yep, you’ll notice one of the vehicles is sporting a 3/4 length frontrunner roof rack.

See the a short snippet of the grill assembly here and when they use it from 6:37 on.

They have been using this thing all the time since then, and been praising it until today:

This car had incredible off road capabilities. And with the front wheel drive, when you drove backwards, you could get up even the steepest trails.

But the technology was a disaster. It had the French version of the Prince Of Darkness and would have needed at least two Water Ingress Manuals. And forget about the brakes.

It is funny when we look back at our lives.
Last Sunday my wife and I went to look at a prize home being raffled off for charity.
When we walked in there was a man, 64 years old, directing visitors.
I recognised him from when I was in my early 20's and lived a different life.
Back then we drank too much, partied hard, abseiled off buildings and kicked down doors.
Guns, booze, woman, violence and hormones were the name of the game.
Here we were two old men, we started to share memories that we both wished we had forgotten.
Next week we are meeting up for a drink.
Not sure if it will be a positive or a negative.
Damn we had some fun though

That's worth a tear and a laugh at the same time.

I understand you very well. Many of us will, I guess.

I have said in the past two things.
I don't believe the life I have lead...and I was there at the time.
I wasn't born old and fat....I chose that so I could live longer.

Yes a barbecue rack. Lots of 4x4 owners in Southern Africa seem to have them. Available in U.K. I think.

I see they have the air intake above the wheel arch. Different for the prototypes I’ve seen and driven ?

Yes ~ a notionally high position for wading. I've posted a few photos on this thread:

Different take on the same theme. Aussie version. I’ve had one of these for years and love it.

Wait they didn't use a roof top tent that is required to overland. This makes me think Nambia trip was done on some movie lot with animals photo shopped in.

Not sure, looks to be a 4-5 person canvas bow (aka ‘dome‘, aka ‘touring’) tent by type though, if that helps.
