The Rig update: South Africa’s biggest Jimny

By January 12, 2024February 22nd, 2024No Comments

Over the course of a few dynamic years, Peach’s camp setup has undergone a fascinating metamorphosis, transitioning through various configurations that reflect the adaptability and versatility inherent in true overlanding spirit. From a rooftop tent to a trailer and a minimalist hiking setup, each iteration contributed to the evolution that has now culminated in what is hailed as the favorite camp setup—a configuration that perfectly complements Peach’s tough tourer identity.

The Current Detailed Rundown 🥹

The latest camp setup is a testament to careful consideration, practicality, and a touch of ingenuity. Let’s delve into the components that make this iteration stand out:

  1. Frontrunner Load Bars and Awning 🌅
    • The foundation of the setup, Frontrunner load bars, not only provide a sturdy platform but also house an awning, offering a shaded oasis at any campsite.
  2. Holdfast Swag Holder (Old Bicycle Rack) 🚴
    • Repurposing an old bicycle rack into a Holdfast swag holder demonstrates resourcefulness. This addition not only adds functionality but also showcases a sustainable approach to building.
  3. Ironman Double Swag 🛌
    • A key element in any overlanding setup, the Ironman double swag promises comfort and convenience, providing a snug haven for peaceful nights under the stars.
  4. Bushtech Gullwings 🚪
    • Bushtech Gullwings brings an element of accessibility and organization, turning the camping space into a well-equipped haven. These additions maximize storage and make retrieval of essential items a breeze.
  5. National Luna Battery Box (Cut Up to Fit in Cupboard) 🔋
    • The National Luna battery box, ingeniously cut to fit seamlessly into a cupboard, showcases a commitment to efficient use of space and an organized electrical setup.
  6. Additional Tough Tourer Modifications 🛠️
    • The camp setup seamlessly integrates with Peach’s tough tourer identity, featuring 33-inch tyres, reduction gears for optimal off-road performance, a boot build housing dual batteries and cupboards with secure tech tie-downs, Des Sol rock sliders for added protection, radial cup protectors, Jimnybits steel rims, and various other enhancements that contribute to the overall robustness and functionality.

Never Truly Done: A Forever Work in Progress 😂

Despite the impressive array of modifications and enhancements, the declaration that the setup is “done” is met with a hearty laugh. The world of overlanding is dynamic, and so is Peach’s camp setup. The journey of innovation and adaptation continues, as pursuing the perfect configuration remains an ongoing quest.

No Sponsorships, Just Genuine Utility 🤝

It’s worth noting that Peach’s owner, in the spirit of authenticity, is not sponsored by any of the companies whose products contribute to this robust camp setup. Rather, each addition is a result of genuine utility, proving that the synergy between Peach and these products is born out of functionality rather than sponsorship obligations.

In conclusion, Peach’s camp setup is a living testament to the ethos of overlanding—an ever-evolving journey where adaptability, innovation, and a touch of humour create the perfect recipe for a memorable and functional home away from home. 🚙🌲
