Hilux 4x4 Forum

Thanks guys.....will check the other post.

Morning all, Just a query. Went playing on Saturday with the Hilux and after being able to tackle pretty much all obstacles, tried to cross some muddy tracks perpendicular to the direction in which they were running. I got the left rear wheel and front right wheel hanging with no traction.......had ...

Hey Scooter......thought the same thing when I saw your pics

Similar mags.....same colour bakkie.......same home terrain.....man, we cold be relatives! :D

Cheers,

This seems like a common problem. I had my rear diff serviced and since then have had this leak on the right rear brake drum. The car has been back twice and still leaking! :? I know I read somewhere about using after market oil seals not being a good idea. I will make sure mine gets an original Toy...

Welcome 2.8d...

Sounds like a nice bakkie......should have some good low down torque too!

Why is it that anything nice always seems to be targeted! :evil:

In all her glory stopped for lunch in Northern Drakensberg I will upload some more pics on 'Members rides'

Nothing too hectic yet ......she is ready for serious stuff but I'm not yet.......sounds like a serious relationship hey? :D

Thanks for clearing that up for me. My Waeco 50ltr operates for 2 days off a 95AH battery without the need to charge it. With the dual battery system in the bakkie now this should stretch it a little longer. But, as you say, most campsites have 220V supply but we always want the option to be able to...

Morning gents, I have a Waeco 12V / 220V fridge/freezer which I am very happy with. It is only a 50ltr and sometimes is a bit small for a weeks trip for a family of 4. I am looking at getting another fridge/freezer and I see the prices for the 12V/220V are more than double the cost of a 220V only fr...

Thanks for the replies. I am happy knowng it is normal performance for a 4Y carb motor....at least dont need to spend the extra cash on repairs. Will definetely get it to a specialist to dyno tune and set the carb properly.

Hey Gents, Just returned from trip to the Drakensberg with my Hilux! :mrgreen: Really enjoyed it but picked up a few things which I am hoping you guys an share our knowledge about. Performance - Mine has the 2.2 motor with 155 000kms. I know from reading here that the performance is not that great b...

I got an OME full system but excl greasable shackles for R13300.00 incl VAT and fitment from 4x4 Megaworld PTA
Touring drawer system for R5383.00 from same as above.

Very nice....where was that?

Hi Gents, I am planning a trip to Mahai camp in the Royal Natal National Park later this month. I found a trail, The Mweni Valley trail, thta leads from the Amphitheatre on the Northern Berg to Cathedral Peak in the centra berg. Has anyone done this trail or heard any info about it.......its not the...

Very nice looking van!

When my SFA grows up, I wonder if it will look like that! :D

Duwayne......I know exactly how you feel! :? I have been looking at upgrading my suspension and am looking at the OME system.....have had prices from R13-R21K :shock: Have even been told today that it is to expensive and I shouldnt be looking at it? :evil: You get dealers and then you get dealers......

Thanks Scooter!

Thanks guys for the tips!

I will definetely speak to Louis as option 1 would be OME! Thanks.

The tyres need to be dual use, i.e. for road and offroad. I think the mud tyres will be great to play but I'm afraid they wont suit the tar surface so much!

Will post some pics as I progress.

Cheers,

OK Gents.... This is my new Hilux as she stood yesterday before starting the 'make over' Hilux 1.JPG Hilux 3.JPG Hilux 2.JPG Here is brief summary of what I intend doing Today She went for a service.....check brakes, clutch, diffs, etc. I am takig off the existing canopy and want to fit an aluminium...

Looks very good! I have been looking at prices for an aluminium canopy and they are blimmin expensive! I'm not too clued up with aluminium work so will need to pay someone to make it for me. Will tackle the internal timber work though......pity the entire canopy cant be wood!

Thanks guys for the warm welcome! Will definetely take some pics of her and post soon. Sat up late last night making a list of 'things to do'...............man does it quickly add up!
Really looking forward to this project!

Hunting and fishing stories to follow!

Hello Gents,

I just took delivery of 'my new' Hilux today. It is a 1993 D/C 2.2 4x4. I want to kit this baby out as my hunting / fishing / outdoor vehicle. I was glad to come across this site to see the information available. I'm sure I will be asking PLENTY questions.
