Equipment

We went through an extensive evaluation and pricing for the additional equipment which we wanted to take to Africa. Its amazing how much this additional kit can add to the budget, be prepared to spend upwards of £10,000 if you want to do it properly!

Some of the more invasive jobs we had done by Foley’s as they were building the vehicle.

To keep costs down we decided to get at least half of the equipment in South Africa and negotiated a deal with Just Done It in Cape Town. The kit was installed as soon as Rupert arrived in RSA.
