Coming to you soon, Borneo!
My Land Cruiser (Tara) is on her way across the South China Sea, and I'll be starting my overland expedition across Sabah and Sarawak very soon.
Since I had to remove quite a number of items before shipping (automotive fluids, fire extinguisher, maintenance sprays and some camping gear), I'll need to restock once I arrive in Kota Kinabalu.
I'd love some recommendations please!
🔧 1. A decent place in Kota Kinabalu to get quality automotive fluids for a Toyota Land Cruiser? Engine oil, brake & clutch fluid, power steering fluid, coolant... basically all the essentials.
🛠️ 2. Any reliable 4x4 workshops in Kota Kinabalu or elsewhere in Sabah? (Feel free to share your trusted workshops in Sarawak too!)
🏕️ 3. Any good 4x4 or outdoor accessory shops? Might be good to pick up a few expedition essentials like recovery gear, traction boards and other useful camping accessories before starting the expedition.
If you own a workshop, outdoor store, 4x4 accessory shop, campsite, or think your business could be a good fit for this expedition, I'd be happy to explore potential collaborations along the way.
Looking forward to exploring Borneo with your recommendations!
