What mods do you need?

In reaction to Drive Out’s post on the 5 most important modifications to your 4x4, Paul Henry from Cape Town wrote: The 70 Series Cruiser with the 4.2 diesel engine is the best vehicle for Africa. Parts are available almost anywhere and it’s not fussy about what diesel you pour in. Remember, in Africa you get lots of paraffin in the diesel. Forget about winches and bull bars. You’ll use the winch mostly to recover other people in any way. Rather invest in a roof rack. Jerrycans work just as well as an extra fuel tank, and you don’t want to travel with diesel inside your vehicle. Spotlights are also a good purchase. I travel a lot and I’ve been in Namibia, Botswana (10 times), Zambia (5 times), Malawi (3 times), Mozambique (5 times), Tanzania and Kenya. Angola and Uganda are also on my wish list. Don’t believe that you need all the fancy 4x4 gear to have a good tour. But invest in some locks and chains; otherwise you might go home in an empty vehicle!
