These young men are the elite of school boy rugby players and CMH GM East Rand is proud to sponsor them for the second year running. The school has a very strong rugby history, recently two of their previous students have made it on to the junior Boks team. Arguably the best school boy rugby team in Gauteng, they recently qualified for the semi finals in the TUKS Reeks, their first team is ranked number one in their category. This weekend and early next week they will be taking part in the Noord Suid Toernooi, against Boland Landbou on Saturday and Paarl Gim on Tuesday, both teams being the best teams in their regions. These young men combine passion, discipline, training and consistency, all values which we at CMH Isuzu East Rand admire and identify with. Join us in wishing their teams all the best for the Noord Suid Toernooi and for the Standard Bank Kearsney Easter Rugby Festival next month, where they will take on the biggest names in South African school boy rugby. Who knows, we might be cheering for these boys one day, as they run on to the field in green and gold.

If you are going away for the holidays and taking a trailer or caravan with you, these tips should help make your travelling a little easier.

Here are our 7 Tips

1:  The most important thing is to make sure that all components are strong enough to carry the load that you are towing. 2: Ensure that the weight of what you are carrying is distributed correctly. Make sure that the heavier items are loaded in the front of the trailer, in front of the axle, this will help eliminate trailer sway. 3: Balance your load evenly between the left and right-hand sides, and make sure that your load is tied down correctly and does not move about. 4: Make sure that the tyres of both the towing vehicle and your trailer are inflated correctly. Your driving habits will need to be adjusted when you are towing, a trailer adds both weight and length to your vehicle. 5: Allow extra time and distance to change lanes and stop. Be cognizant that the extra weight and length means you have to increase braking distances, reduce your speed gradually and do not brake harshly. 6: Faster speeds increase wind resistance and can cause buffeting, which will increase trailer sway, so remember to keep a moderate and consistent speed. 7: Extended and trailer towing mirrors make it easier to see what is coming up behind you and the application of a trailer warning sticker to the front of your vehicle will ensure that oncoming traffic is also aware that you have an extra length behind you. All Isuzu bakkies come with a 3500kg towing capability and handle any towing requirements with great ease. Contact us today to take advantage of our great specials on offer.

If you are planning on taking your Isuzu on an off road adventure, here are some rules and advice that will make you do off roading like a Pro. When you purchase an Isuzu KB you get a world class leading bakkie with the ability to tow up to 3 tons as well as the cred to turn heads wherever you go. The Isuzu 4×4 is as tough as nails and allows you to tackle South Africa’s grittiest and most beautiful dirt roads. If you haven’t taken your Isuzu on the beaten paths you haven’t lived yet. Below are some things you need to know just before you tackle the South African dirt roads.

6 Great Isuzu Off-Road Tips

• Practice patience – patience is all about timing. Once you have observed your surroundings and worked out your point of entry then you can tackle the obstacle
• Keep both hands on the wheel. Driving is all about the reaction time. If your bakkie swerves then you need to counter swiftly. When manning the steering, both thumbs needs to be placed on the outside frame of the steering wheel rather than gripping the wheel – Try it, it works!!
• Take note of body roll and power to weight ratio. Some cars are faster because they are fitted with smaller bodies (power to weight ratio).
• The bigger the car the more power it will have. Bakkies like the Isuzu supports a lot of weight so the body rolls easier at higher speeds and feels heavy and sluggish on slow speeds. “Counter driving ” counter steering is a way of managing your bakkies body roll at high and even low speeds , just with your steering wheel, the secret lies in the adjustment you make to the direction you steering at.

• Know the difference between Momentums VS Acceleration – Momentum is the speed your bakkie has built up – this will help you though the difficult obstacles and muddy paddles, come to grip with your bakkie as to this will help you to make the important decision as to when and how much to accelerate.
• Tyre – Reducing your tyre pressure increases the floating of the bakkie, this means that the tyre footprints becomes longer reducing the pressure the tyre exerts on the surface, spreading your bakkies weight over a large surface. This way you will have more traction.
