A couple of friends are looking at going to the Cape later this year and if I can get time off I will go with em.

I am running a SWB Carby Vitara 1.6 with a fuel tank that only holds 40L. I realise this is gonna be a major limitation (although the offorad capabilities of the Vitara shouldnt be with 31" muddies and a locker as it kicks all my mates butts).

Vitara has currnelt got 6" lift over standard so has more ground clearance than all the other rigs.

How far do i need to budget for between fuel stops from Mossman onwards - ie how much extra fuel required over 40 L.

Due to the light weight of the vehicle are there any major river crossings I am going to be unable to acheive without assistance?.

We will also be using: Rodeo (MU) on 32" Muddies, Landcruiser Dual Cab on 33"s and Rocsta (Wrangler ripoff) on 31" mudies. All except cruiser are ULP.

Will we need a hand or electric winch for the trip - hand winch is budgeted for and expected.
