Integrity:

Integrity is the compass guiding success—a commitment to doing what's right, irrespective of the audience. It's the cornerstone of character and the pathway to lasting achievement. Embrace integrity, for it's the silent force propelling you towards your goals, regardless of who's watching.

Some Monday Motivation:

• Because you’ve already made mistakes, you’ve already screwed up, either way, both versions lead you to the same place. You don’t even bother making a change.

• Well, the good news is that the PAST does not define you.

• The only way you will fail is when you read your long record of failures as something so discouraging and so debilitating that you don’t even try.

• Whatever the case may be, they all lead to the same place: you do not change.

• Please understand that real change is possible but is chosen.

• Don’t wait any longer for the right circumstances, the right time, the right resources, or the right people to come across. THE TIME IS NOW!!

Moral of the story, make the change NOW. Do not wait for someone to come, you change for the better and you do it only for yourself. No one else.

May you all have a blessed week ahead.

From the pen of Monkey Explore:

So, we did a thing last year in July 2022. We bought a 2006 Jeep Wrangler 4.0l 6 cyl, TJ, Automatic. When we received the Jeep the 4x4 was kicking out when you engaged it. We contacted the dealership and they got repaired. 4x4 engaged perfectly after that.

So, to tell you more about the Jeep. When we bought it, it had +- 52,000km on the clock with the following which was extra on it.

• Replacement bumpers back and front
• Warn Winch
• Spotlights
• Towbar
• 2” Body Lift
• 2” Suspension Lift
• 33” Mickey Thompson Tyres
• Safari Snorkel
• Leather Seats
• Original Radio/CD player

We took it out for a 4x4 fun day and oh man, what a disaster and disappointment, when driving off-road it feels if your back break in 20 places. Once you get out of the Jeep you can not walk normal. (maybe it was just me). From a bystander point of view, it seems that the Jeep go flawless through obstacles, but it is another story inside the Jeep.

As always links to some videos of how the Jeep did on a off-road course at De Wildt 4x4 will be posted at the end of this blog.

Then there was the first time since I had the Jeep that it needed to be serviced. To my surprise the amount was over R6,000.00. What was replaced in the service:

• Spark Plugs (6 off them)
• Air Filter
• Pollen Filter
• Oil
• Oil Filter

In contrast with the Ranger this is double the price to get the Jeep Serviced.

After the service we noticed the following:

• An Annoying sound when the Jeep idle (like a cherrie cherrie sound) A pulley was replaced but the sound still stays there. (learned to live with it)

• When you turn left you hear a cluck cluck sound, and no it is not a CV. As per the mechanic it is the bushes on the steering that needs to be replaced. Costs to get it fixed is a whopping R45,000.00 to R50,000.00 as the steering needed to be taken out and the bushes needed to be pressed out and pressed in again. (learned to live with it)

• Another thrilling thing that started now. When you pull away it feels that the Jeep gearbox started to search and when you are driving on the highway and the gears change you can hear the revs drop more than it is supposed to. (learned to live with it)

• The Heater stopped working in wintertime, so it was all fun and games when you go to working in the early hours of the morning in winter. Thick jackets, gloves and and and just to keep warm.

• The aircon stopped making cold, this happened on a day which we had a heat wave.

With the Jeep’s hard top if it is cold, it is extra cold, when it is warm it is extra warm as the Jeep’s hard top is not the same than a normal car, bakkie or suv.

Enough of that, let’s talk about the fuel consumption:

• Fuel tank capacity – 72l
• Kilometres on a tank – 300km
• Kilometres per liter – 3km/l

As the Jeep is my daily driver fuel costs a month is between R10,000 to R14,000 a month. I am driving a lot as in my profession I need to attend meetings all over Gauteng and Mpumalanga. So, when the fuel price goes up than our monthly account raises and when the fuel costs go down then it makes a difference in our account.

If we knew what we know today, then we would have passed on the Jeep and bought something that make more economic and financial sense. But yes, we made the mistake and now we need to live with it.

If you decide to trade in your Jeep on something else, then you must take what they offer you. The depreciation on value of the Jeep is of such value that you need to load your next vehicles finance in such a way that you will pay more in monthly instalments that is not even funny.

If we want to trade in our Jeep, we need to pay +- R40,000.00 into the Jeep’s account just to get your affordability in line for the next vehicle. The best offer we got on the Jeep for trade in was R90,000.00 and then they needed to load the next vehicle with a huge amount. It does not matter what accessories you have on the Jeep, it does not matter, what matter to some dealers is the trade and retail. But when they resell the vehicle, they advertise all the accessories on the Jeep and sell it for more than you got for it.

Moral of the story, if you want to own a Jeep, ensure you have a wealthy bank account as it will take more off your money than anything else.

P.S: This is our experience of our TJ Jeep and we do not say it is all the Jeeps.

From the pen of Monkey Explore:

As we do off-roading and traveling your vehicle plays a huge part in this process. When Monkey Explore was registered and taking social media with storm with all our videos on YouTube and TikTok we had a 2016 Ford Ranger 2.2 XL+ (The mine spec). What a beautiful and capable vehicle.

The Ranger had the following installed on it:

• Warn Winch
• Raw4x4 suspension
• Canopy
• Dual Battery System
• Drawer (Which made packing and unpacking wonderful)
• Replacement Bumper
• Vision X - Spotlights

Due to this the Ranger was weighing much more than originally. The suspension made it great for 4x4’ing and tar/gravel road traveling.

The 2.2 XL+ had an 80-litre fuel tank which gave us on a full tank +- 800km and average, according to the onboard computer, between 9 and 10 litre per 100km.

It had a 6-speed manual gearbox that made on and off-road the best way to go, in my personal experience.

The only thing that was missing was a cruise control. You can put an aftermarket one in, no problem. The after market once also worked 100%, but we did not go that route.

If you go off-roading a lot, then I would suggest you take off the OEM side steps and replace it with proper rockslides and a proper aftermarket replacement bumper. This will ensure that you can pack any obstacle on with ease and that you can clear any obstacle even better.

In my opinion, if you would like to purchase a Pre-Facelift Ranger then go for it. The market is full of them, and you can pick up a bargain or two. Most of them already have suspensions done on it as well as replacement bumpers and rockslides. This alone will save you thousands of rands.

I understand that it is not the new Gen X Ranger but if you have a tight budget, like me, then I will definitely opt for the pre-facelift Ranger.

If I had the change to purchase the Ranger back, I will do so if no doubt.

Till next time.............

Our Non-Profit Company (NPC) profile:

Monkey Explore is a Non-Profit Company with registration number: K2020157457. The NPC was registered in March 2020.

Our NPC help the unprivileged people in South Africa as well as the animals that are in desperate need of assistance. Our main aim is that everyone that need assistance get it and to make a difference in their lives.

We started in 2018 with a Blanket Run in conjunction with Ford-Mal. We gathered around R120,000 worth of goods. The Blanket Run was for 2 x Children Homes in Rustenburg. We were blessed enough to get them a sponsor for gas, for the gas stoves for 2 years. We also could have assisted them with meat, food, toys, blankets ext. You must saw the kids faces when they are saw all the goods, we got them form donations, it was hart broken. We also hold a mini auction on the day to gather more money for them. What we did is I arranged a charity run with Ford vehicles only. At the end of the day, we were +- 158 Ford’s that drove in a convoy to the Children homes. We also had a performer or 2 on the stage that ensure everyone had a great time.

In 2019 we had a Charity run to Woodstock an Animal Shelter. We gathered a lot of dog and cat food as well as some blankets for the animals. There was also some money left which we donate for vet bills.

Then Covid-19 hit us all and everything was put on hold.

But in 2023 we start to help Charities again. We are currently busy to ask for donations for a Wildlife Sanctuary which really need help with the animals. We are asking if anyone would be willing to assist us with funds so that we can assist with donations for them to help rebuild again.

We also plan to do a Charity run for an Old Age Home in 2024. We will start by looking for a needy Old Age Home beginning 2024.

The more donations we can receive the more people we can assist. Please help us to help others.

Goeie Dag Almal. Soos julle teen die tyd weet het ons weer 'n Charity Run na Waterberg Wildlife Sanctuary toe. So, die Charity het baie dinge nodig soos voorheen al genoem was. Ons het ook baie donasies nodig vir hulle.
Om die leeus, tiere ens te voer kos dit hulle ten minste R8,000 'n maand. Die mense vat ook die diere in as die ander Sanctuaries nie meer na hulle kan omsien nie. Ons gaan die event in twee split vir meer donasies ens.
Die eerste event: Vellies in Pretoria was so gaaf gewees om hulle venue vir ons te skenk vir die 2de September. Hulle staan ons ook by om sangers te kry vir die dag. So die plan vir die 2de is om 'n paar stalletjies te kry om daar uit te stel. Die stalletjies gaan vir die besigheid wat uitstal maar net R300.00 kos vir die dag. Dan kan jy daar kuier tot en met laat. Geen ander ingaan gelde is dan betaalbaar nie. Ons is ook opsoek na besighede wat vir ons prysse kan sponsor wat ons nou weer kaartjies kan verkoop om gelde ook in te samel.
Elke liewe sent help om nader aan ons doelwit te kom om vir die Charity te skenk. Ons het wel al 'n R1,000 kontant skenking ontvang en Venter Plumbers staan ons by met van die plumbing toerusting. As jy deel wil wees of dalk iets wil sponsor of dalk iets wil gee as 'n donasie, kontak my gerus asb.
Die tweede event gaan ons almal bymekaar kom en ry na die Charity toe. So watch this space vir verde info
Baie Dankie. Monkey Explore

Good day everyone. As you know by now, we have another Charity Run to Waterberg Wildlife Sanctuary. So, the Charity needs a lot of things as has been mentioned before. We also need a lot of donations for them. To feed the lions, tigers etc it costs them at least R8,000 a month. The humans also take in the animals when the other Sanctuaries can no longer care for them. We are going to split the event in two for more donations etc. The first event: Vellies in Pretoria was so cool have been to donate their venue for us for the 2nd of September. They also assist us in getting singers for the day. So the plan for the 2nd is to get some stalls to postpone there. The stalls will cost the business exhibiting only R300.00 for the day. Then you can hang out there until late. No other entry fees are then payable. We are also looking for businesses that can sponsor us prices that we now can sell tickets to raise fees as well.
Every single penny helps to get closer to our goal of donating to the Charity. We have received a R1,000 cash donation and Venter Plumbers assists us with some of the plumbing equipment. If you would like to be a part or perhaps sponsor something or perhaps give something as a donation, please feel free to contact me.
The second event we're all going to get together and drive to the Charity. So watch this space for verde info.
Thanks a lot. Monkey Explore

Ek het laas jaar Desember gesoek na 'n kamp yskas. Na baie gesoek en prysse vergelyk het ek toe besluit op die Camp Master reeks. Dit is 'n fraksie van die prys van Snowmaster en die Engel yskas reeks.
Ons was vir 5 dae Groot Marico toe en glo my dit was warm, sommer vroeg oggend al.
Die Camp Master yskas het al ons vleis, koeldrank ens yskoud gehou asook gevries. Ons het 'n paar keer "load Shedding" gehad en die yskas het sy naam hoog te staan gekom.
Toe ons by die huis kom, na 5 dae, was van die vleis nog lekker gevries gewees.
Ek sal enige een aanbeveel om 'n Camp Master kamp yskas te koop as jy opsoek is na een. Ja jy kry al jou waarborge, net soos die res maar jy betaal baie minder as vir die ander.
Camp Master se stoele is ek nie mal oor nie, omrede die nate begin los trek plek plek, alhoewel ons hulle nie so baie gebruik nie.
