Give our bakkie a name and win R5000 worth of spotlights!

Our new bundu bakkie project is underway and we need to give the vehicle a name, just like Spyker, the light-blue Hilux that we gave away last year.
     We were lucky enough to find a 2001 Toyota Hilux Raider 2,7i Double-cab Petrol 4×4 for R99 000 without rust or any other problems.
     The new Aussie 4×4-gear company in South Africa, Opposite Lock, agreed to sponsor accessories to the value of R120 000 for the bakkie. With a few extras that we add, like Yokohama mud-terrain tyres and a canopy, we’ll have a 4×4 vehicle to the value of R220 000 for one lucky subscriber to win!
     But first the bakkie needs to get a name and you can win big if we choose your suggestion. The reader who proposes the name that we use in the end, wins a fantastic set of Lightforce 240 Blitz spotlights to the value of R5 191.
     Anyone can suggest a name. All you need to do is to register on our forum and post your suggestion. Click here and send us your ideas!
