Hilux 4x4 Forum

Hey! Our plan is to the following: 25th: Twee Rievieren 26th: Matopi 1 or 2 27th and 28th: 2 nights in Mabua area, not sure of the camp sites yet 29th: Mosomane 30th: Twee Rievieren as Nossob is fully booked... We could do the reverse and then spent the night of the 26th in Mosomane and 29th in Mato...

Yeah same here, it's so frustrating, even more because I work next door in the Kuruman River Reserve and I can't enjoy the park...

Ok thanks for the info. However, I hope we can start from Twee Rivieren as Nossob is already fully booked, we won't be able to spend a night there... Spending nights in the Kgalagadi is getting difficult these days!

Hi everyone, My boyfriend and I would like to drive the Mosomane trail in August (spending a night in Mosomane on the 29th if possible) but as we are only one vehicle we can't book it... Is there anyone willing to travel with us, or who has already booked and would be ok sharing the campsite? Thanks...

Hi there,

We are 3 in one vehicle are are planning to drive the trail in October, either on the 18th or the 26th, but we can't book on our own... Is there anyone driving the trail on these dates who wouldn't mind having an extra car driving along?
Thanks!!

Have you tried them yet?
Cause they are FAR less expensive than the MAXTRAX so might be a good solution...

Hi all, I just bought an Hilux 2008 D4D which already has an oil leak (I though this was a Land Rover problem only :lol: ) and other issues.. :cry: :frustrated: Anyway, I will live near Van Zylrus in Northern Cape and was wondering if any of you has a mechanic or workshop close to there to recommend...

Yeah no the 4wd definitely doesn't engaged, cause I would have felt it on the highway!
Actually the indicator doesn't come in when I'm in 4wd...

Hi there,

Friends of mine are going to Central Kalahari in 3 weeks driving from Rakops to Sunday, Piper etc then exiting south at Khutse via Xade.
Do you know of the road condition? Is there any mud along the way? Is a seed net necessary?
Thanks!

Thanks for all your advices guys!

Yeah, I think I'l definitely have to learn some Afrikaans, so thanks for my first lesson!

Thank you all for your warm welcome an replies.
In terms of price, let's say I'm looking at around R130,000 for the vehicle only, and obviously more depending on how it is kitted for overloading.
The D4D is the engine used in newer models (after 2005) right?

Hi everyone, I'm brand new to this forum :celebrate: and never owned an Hilux before. I used to drive a Defender in Zim ( :surrender: please don't throw stones at me) that I really enjoyed but I'm now moving to SA for 2 years and I'm looking for a more confortable car to spend more time on the road....
