Qn: How much did it cost to have it custom made?

These caterpillar like tyres look like they are aliens.

Qn: Can these tyres be punctured?
Ans: When buying it, the Japanese assured us that we would never experience any puncture just like tractors don’t. have you ever heard of a tractor with a puncture? But in case we did, it would probably cost us Shs1m-1.5m for one tyre.

Qn: You are always in the wilderness, so you never know
Ans: My friend, let me tell you. We have seen other tour cars get punctures every two days, but for us we have never experienced any with this Cruiser. The tyres are tubeless.

Qn: Do you have jacks?
Ans: Yeah, we have two pressurized jacks and the long Tanganyika jack.
