michael01

got a little upgrade in mind

thanks

michael01

sorry to hear about that Edge

the guy that bought mine stays only a couple of streets away, so i am sure i will be seeing it dring around..... i can keep a little eye on it hahahahahaha

michael01

Thanks guys

i am sure i will miss the SFA very much, but as said the IFS suits my needs much better. It really is a love 4x4 and man its only nice to drive! i am looking forward to many happy miles with it

michael01

Well i knew the day would come one day! This Sunday, i had a guy come around and pick up my much loved 95 SFA D/C, much time had been spent working on, driving and exploring new places with her. But in the end i just was not using her for what she truly was intended. So i was with a sad, heavy heart...

michael01

Thanks Guys

Taking it to a friend this next week to get the gear box checked out, also will pick up a speedo cable, that i'll see if i can get from Gemini parts???

thanks again for the advice

michael01

Hi guys Just a little help here please, I need to get a new clutch put in my dads 2000 Hilux DC 4x4 what do you guys recommend as a replacement? I have heard that Luke is a good brand? Is there anything else i could look at? Also i noticed driving today that the speedo needle jumps up and down while...

michael01

I had one in my Hilux and hated it more than my petrol consumption..... :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: But for me it never worked out always did its own thing sometimes locking sometimes not, and in the end i said you walk up to unlock it and all 4 doors open, anyone could open the other doors and the you got...

michael01

Great Report!!!!! But gets me thinking that my Hilux is sitting on 179 000km and i don't know if the timing chain has ever been changed....... :shock2: :shock2: and also thinking of it i have though for a while now that it feels slightly under powered..... :evil: gonna price all the parts tomorrow a...

michael01

Very tempted to try it but then realized i was in a rental i20 and not my SFA

michael01

Think i need to get a couple of signs like this printed out and stick it around JHB..... :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Its at a little bar i stopped off in Swakopmund

michael01

Great vid, he is lucky to be driving a diesel!

That's the Kzte motor, If he was driving a SFA the water would not have even made it into the air vents lol

michael01

Man did you see the rust in the engine bay? and no tailgate, no mudflaps hmmmm makes me think for that price then my hilux must be worth R200 000.......

michael01

I got the that shame fridge/cooler between my seats too! Man that truck is only neat. Well maybe with a lot of hard work i can get it there too... Does anyone have the number for the person that can do the spray painting job? And do i need to get the dents sorted out first? Cant remember who posted ...

michael01

Well still got the whole situation on my mind but pretty sure i am going to keep it :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: I like the option you have all given, think i would really like to see your 4x4 Family dog. Sounds like a awesome truck! Now I'll start working on the little things, and get the money ...

michael01

Hmmmm guys you have given me a lot to think about....... :problem: I think if i had to mess with the engine it would be a toss up between the Toyota 2.7 of that ford 2.5d, gonna start shopping around looking at prices for fixing her up and decide from there, as not the type of decisions i can make o...

michael01

That's why i put the question out there......... I am also looking for someone in the JHB area that i can get to make me up new door panels as the current ones have the holes in where the old speakers were. I am leaning towards the restore option but need to work on prices and what the end product w...

michael01

Louis do you really think they will give the right consumption? to be honest this motor thing is my biggest concern......

If its gonna be a daily driver that's the biggest concern.. maybe larger diesel motor?????

michael01

thought i would get some interesting answers, and also ideas as to what other guys would do to the hilux. also where to get something like this done. I saw another post where it was said that it cost about R14 000 for a respray and changing the colour which sounds pretty good to me, then just a coup...

michael01

Hay guys ok so here goes with my ultimate Hilux question. I have a 95 SFA pretty good shape, done a Body lift, Extension shakles, front off-road bull bar with winch, Mags, Modified raised rear bumper, Canvas canopy, Stainless steel tank...... There are some more things but all together it makes a pr...

michael01

Just my 2cw but looking at the picture it seems as if this is 2.7l motor, so it cant be a 2.2l right? when did the 2000 model ever come out in a 2.2? this was stopped way back like 1990?

michael01

Thanks guys, Its the Normal 2.0L not the T5 but you should see me drive a car i truly believe that the holiday starts with the drive and not only when you reach your destination so i sit back set the cruise control to 128 and relax i don't believe there is any big rush in life. Well all need to lear...

michael01

Well we all know what they say about boys and their toys??????

Well I'll blame the wife for this one as its more her car than mine but going to pick it up tomorrow, Its defiantly doesn't have the go away where feel of the SFA but it well do lol lol

michael01

Spoke to Mark the owner who is importing these units. He says that they are a direct knock off the ARB Units and even Uses the ARB catalog for these units. He does say that there are a couple of people up here in JHB with SFA that have installed these into there 4x4 and is happy to put us in touch w...

michael01

Hay guys know this is a bit late but me and the wife Decided its time to do the first 4x4 trial of the year and are heading out this to this trail on Sunday. Just thought I'd throw it out there and see if any other Hilux's will be in the area or if anyway else wants to do the trail? Be great having ...

michael01

Can across this on the Honeydew Toyota RV website, well done to the Toyota guys another reason why i support the brand...... Oh and moral of the story???? Never Ever underestimate flowing water!!!!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Here is what was said and do yourself a favor cli...

michael01

if you where to do it best i've seen is the snow camo paint job.

still recon its the best for the SFA

michael01

regarding the engine flush

i have heard that the stuff you buy out the shop can be a bit harsh on the seals and gaskets of your engine so its better to use a little diesel
instead

any of you try this?

michael01

Why don't you try a set of air bags at the back? Lots of people like them even soften the ride for you and doesn't really affect off road proformance. Just my 2cw

michael01

ifyou dont mind me asking what did the parts cost you and where did you get everything from?

michael01

i was auto style over the weekend and i now see that they stock a brand new 3Y motor that already has a efi on it for only R7999.00 any one else look at it?

i was with louis when we saw it did'nt look bad at all i must say

michael01

you know they look like very good tires perfect for us in the 4x4 market. but when i see the word remoulded i just can get away from the fact that it could let you down, i keep thinking of all those bits of tires we see lying on the highways everyday. hay maybe i'm wrong but it just worries me thats...

michael01

and best thing about it is you can get a new tire from any hardware store

michael01

i will let the photos do all the talking on this one

michael01

please till me where to send my 10 liter drum :) :)

michael01

ok ok so i know i was thinking of selling my sfa towards the end of last year but then i saw the light at the end of the tunnel and realise i'd be the biggest stupid....... well you know where i was going with that, but is it just me or have you also noticed the increase of sfa hiluxs for sale recen...

michael01

its a good offer you've been made but! The sfa are hard to come by at the mo, and at least you know your sfa, if you manage to find another one you never know the problems it comes with rather the devil you know than the one you dont. in the end you need to decide what will be the reason you want to...

michael01

Thanks for the replys guys glad to hear its not going to break like today, there goes my 4x4 trail idea for this weekend. Muddog I've read both articles more than once and find them very imformative but with my limited know how and space it would be damgerous for me to attempt it. Chopper was right ...

michael01

If I knew how to fix this I would, please can someone suggest to me some to take this in jhb? I am willing to travel and can someone till me what I am looking at to get this fixed

Thanks again guys as I don't know what to do

michael01

Hay guys I was just moving my lux so that I could lock up and once it was moved I noticed some small drops of what looked grey oil on the floor. And straight away I had the torch out and was under the lux to see what was going on. Well I notice that the grey oil is leaking from my swizle hubs, so I ...

the more i look at the new faces of the toyota's coming out the happy i am that i still got my sfa, still think it is a very good looking bakkie

michael01

a 1985 toyota hilux s/c 2x4 dad's old work bakkie (builders van) with 356 000 km on the clock
and a very large roof rack and i still have it at home with almost 500 000 km on it now! :)

michael01

hi my father has a 2000 2.7 4x4 and from day one there has always been this very strange knock coming from the gear box sometimes when he pulls off in first or when he reverses, i've taken it to toyota an they have even layed under the car on a machanic trolly and pulled off and reveresed up and dow...

michael01

hay just wondering what the end result looked liked?

michael01

So wouldn't it be a better/cheaper option than trying to find the parts to efi my lux?

Also I see in your link that the guy says rather go with the 2.7 than the 2.4 motor is this true won't it work out so much cheaper for the 2.4 motor conversion?

Thanks again for all the help

michael01

ok i know this might be a stupid questio to some ppl but i was wondering what is the difference between the condor 2.4i motor and the 2.4 motor i got in my 95 sfa hilux? and cant one use the efi maifold and all the goodies from that motor on mine? are wouldn't it be cheaper to buy that motor as a re...

michael01

michael01

thanks guys makes a lot of sense what you are getting at.

i will diff think about the efi conversion,

michael01

hi guys i am just wondering if it is really worth doing an engine conversion, i've spoken to danie from surpa tech and he quoted me R35 000.00 for a complete engine conversion, its the 7m-ge motor its a drive in drive out job. the reason why i'm thinking of such a thing is cos currently my sfa is be...
