It has been an absolute joy to prepare the old Land Cruiser for the journey up to Everest base Camp, via Tibet. I managed to link up with a pioneer member of the Johor 4X4 club (Jeep Nation). Everyone calls him by his nick name; "Panjang" @Mr Wong. Panjang operates a 4X4 workshop at 175 Jalan Seroja 39, Johor Jaya. Tel: 07-3518002. I found his advise to be practical and honest and his knowledge of 4X4s is remarkable.

| A Malaysian Land Cruiser at a fraction of the cost of the S'pore COE Perhaps the only thing left to install is the snorkel, roof rack, Vhf radio, and maybe a new set of front seats. I was thinking of getting used Mercedes seats. They seem to be the most comfortable option for long jouneys. |

| I felt the Bull Bar was a must because of heavy animal traffic in Tibet. Better safe than sorry. |
