In case you did not hear, having a car in Mozambique is challenge. They constantly break and need repair. Due to the bad roads maintenance is a nearly weekly affair. So when we got here we bought the strongest must durable car we could...with the money we had.



So after working on our older Landcruiser this week and trying to find quality replacement parts (or any parts as it turned out) i had a few minutes on my way home from Rapale and stopped at the Toyota dealer in town....oh my.

TO replace our truck with a new one is ......$168,000. Yes, that is right a stripped down, 'NGO' type Landcruiser is over $150,000! In the states the more or less same new truck is $65,000. Oh well.

There are other options for half the price or a double cab pickup truck is $42,000.

So we will continue to enjoy our 1994 Landcruiser....i will gladly continue maintenance and repairs as much as i can and unless someone has a bucket of money....i will leave it all in the hands of God.
