I miss doing the Johannesburg to Cape Town drive. Leave at four in the morning. Breakfast and refill at either Kimberly or Bloemfontein at about in the morning. Then plant it to either Lainsburg or Drie Susters for lunch and fuel. Last refuel before the tunnel and into Cape Town at sunset.

U guys reminded me of my road trips in India. I used to work n live in Mumbai for 3 years n I did lots of road trips. Once from Mumbai, I flew to Chandigarh n then went on road trip to Shimla n Manali in Himachal Pradesh n back to Chandigarh during winter. I also did a road trip from Mumbai to Goa n return to Mumbai. There were two of my longest roadtrips from Mumbai, one to Cochin n Kovalam in Kerala covering more than 1.5K km each way, d other one to Udaipur n Jaipur in Rajasthan covering more than 1.5K km also each way. In Kerala, I had an amazing backwater overnight experience on a traditional Keralan boathouse. In Rajasthan, I stopped at one of d biggest incredible fort in India. There r many more roadtrips during those years. I can imagine u guys r having such a great time n adventure. 🙂

Lovely expose of South Africa and the Jimny, showing that we're not just potholes and powercuts! Am on the verge of getting the 2023 Jumny and this has helped allay some of my concerns re: long trips and speed. (But hey, at my age now I really need slow down on the roads anyway!) Thank you and all the best in your new life down in the 'Mother City.'

Yeah, the OEM speakers have a single cone, tiny magnets and they sound terrible. The bass is very muddy and there's no definition to the treble. Having said that, one of the main problems in the Jimny is that the extra narrow door does not make a great resonating chamber for the bass, so the sound is always going to be a bit flat. Get better speakers but don't spend a fortune, is my advice. I got two JVC 4" two way speakers for AU$50. The magnets in them weigh more than the entire OEM speaker including the plastic moulding. Speaking of which, the OEM speakers have a special moulding/mount because the door is too narrow to mount speakers flush in the metal door panel. I 3D printed a mount for the JVC speakers and it is working out well. Alternatives would be to mount them in the plastic door panel (I didn't want to cut holes in the door though), or get them professionally installed in which case it will be someone else's problem, just don't let them cut up the door panel. There's probably enough room to mount 6" speakers if the installer is clever about it. I'm looking forward to catching up with your travels in the Jimny

One notable difference between driving in SA seems to be the lack of tire carcasses. I noticed in Europe as well. In the USA we always have tire debris from our 18 wheelers on the sides of the roads. Makes pulling over challenging.

Thank you for watching.Car rental is not that cheap but it has become expensive all over the world since the pandemic and parts shortage. To rent a car here got a week would cost +-$250 and then the expenses for this road trip in terms of fuel was roughly $150 and that is to travel 1500 kilometres. Hope this helps:) Currently petrol is priced at R22/litre ($1.26/litre)
