Le Hunting Trip

Was in the jungle of ulu ulu off Kinabatagaan in Tawau over the weekend. Finally get to see Ali chai's Yellow one after hearing about it from the tawau gang so many times. Get to ride in it during the whole trip also. Very good condition for the age, very Camel Trophy feel bah. The 19J enjin is good enough for the job, but of course cannot compare with other younger cars lah.. maybe a 300tdi replacement soon?

Yes I know you are humming the Camel Trophy theme song watching this

Comparing the old trusty 19j to the newer trunks is like, comparing donkey to camels.. it may not have high tech changi AI engine and as powerful as Cikgu's Dmax, the old good donkey can still get you there... with some extra load. And that is good enough lah. After all it is a Land Rover.

Tuan Liew's Hi-lux and Cikgu's Dmax in action:

Of course the spotlight was on Leklek's Rojak Rover. Really can't find another name for his Series 109 hybrid. What's left of a lady in it, is the chasis and the body panels. It's been rebuilt into a Toyota-powered monster running on toyota axles. 2 winches. Typical Sabahan 4WD engineering, it's so Macho that it makes its whole crew looks like a the rebels / smugglers that Lara Croft also wanna run away from, or the bad guys in a lost-in-the-jungle action film. One word. Badass!

it's so badass that it turns a highschool teacher into a jungle thug

it's so badass that it turns divers like Jonathan as pale as snow white

Where we sleep

Venision for meals

and fresh kelah straight from the river!

Thanks guys for the great weekend breakaway! Looking foward to the next trip!
