  • We got a brand new overlander vehicle to go explore Ol Pejeta Conservancy for a few days and help out our friends from the Cheetah Project.

    Code "DAVEMANI" saves you 10% on any Ironamn product.
    This converted Toyota Hilux by Ironman 4X4 Kenya has literally everything any overlander fan can dream of. We are talking rooftop tent, fridge, massive drawers in the back, winch, light bars, snorkel, awning and all the other extras like a recovery kit, traction aids, air compressor, camping chairs and table and so much more.
    With the kind of weather we've got during our road trip to Ol Pejeta in Nanyuki, we truly put Ironman's equipment to the test. From the heavy rain, to the mud, this overlanding gear is truly made for all sorts of unexpected conditions. After having so much fun with that "big boy toy" I think it is time to covert our own Land Rover into a proper adventure machine! What do you think?
