That looks good now, good luck with your engine plans.

Good thing you found out through inspection rather than the side of the road... Damn lucky indeed it held out for as long it did.

Cool, hopefully they are amenable to try them out.

Are Coopers available in SA? Grippy, tough tyres. I have the S/T Maxx tyres and no problems yet. They have a good rep in the UK.

Soutie, he chuckled, throwing the

Just a thought on the power issue - have you changed the fuel filter? When I changed mine last year it was in a bad state (probably never changed before I bought it) and I also cleaned out the Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor. My power definitely seemed to improve and the reactions to acceleration input im...

Looks like 2 .50 cals sticking out of the bumper...!

Looks like a serious ride.

Mooi man

Dit lyk goed, het jy dit self opgesit?

Hier is ook 'n goeie artikel van Australia oor die plus en minus punte van grooter bande.

Oz-meister, Ek sal voorstel dat jy ander bande check voordat jy daai spacers koop. Hulle sal die lewe van jou bearings ens verkort. Hoekom? Jou Hilux is gemaak met al die tolerances klaar uitgewerk. 'n Duim hier en daar gooi dit maar baie uit en jy moet vermoed dat dit die lewe van verskillende stel...

Thanks guys, there are a lot of good tongue in cheek stickers on eBay, I'm not sure how easy they are to get in SA though.

To be honest, the front eyes are not actually rated recovery points, have a look at ARB front recovery points for the front. Would a beefy towbar not work for the back? You might want to see if anyone can fabricate rear recovery points if you don't want to use a towbar. what do you think about some...

Ha ha, and a crew cab from eBay (USA)

Nearly forgot, you can get a 1:43 Hilux Dakar (Duxbury Netgear) on the net. Very nice it is too.

You can still get the Top Gear Hilux - http://www.modelcollector.co.uk/news/ar ... 1-43/13374" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Nice, Ruari! If I don't ask, someone else surely will ..... what is the meaning of the lettering on the back? Ah, it's ancient Greek, 'Molon Labe', which translates as 'come and take(them)'. Legend has it that this is what King Leonidas said in defiance to the Persians when they demanded the Greeks...

Yeah Ruari, where did you get that Landi kill markings. I need more than 250 of them for my killings of Landi over the years. :laugh2: :laugh2: Hei Koos, I had a friend make them up, he's got a vinyl sticker cutter. I gave him the picture which I made and he made the sticker. :thumbup: PM me if you...

please keep sending pics on your outings in the UK... otherwise welkom en enjoy..

Thanks William, I will post pics, going to get some new tyres in a week, Cooper Discoverer S/T Maxx, so I'll find the right place and put up some pics.
I like your signature by the way.

Thanks Koos, you know Landy's, you don't have to shoot them, just look at them with a Hilux and they drop their oil pan!

Thanks guys,

Here is the Ratel, complete with 2 Land Rover 'kill markings' on the front door.

Middag all you fellow awesome Hilux'ers. Found this site from another forum (Hilux Pickup Oners Club - HPOC) in the UK, where I live. After driving an uninspiring car for many years, I finally pulled the pin and bought a South African built 2.5 HL2 doublecab last year this time. What a fantastic bak...
