According to my 2.7 owner's manual, you should lock the hubs (in 2H) at least once a month for about 10 0r 15 km (I forget) to ensure lubrication. Increases fuel consumption but does no harm Engaging 4x4 on a dry tar road is not recommended (4H is recommended for wet tar roads).

Dis ook iets wat ek nog wil doen. Hoe is die hele ding aan die canopy vasgemaak?

Senyetse

Broker has said that the insurance will accept a dealer valuation and will insure for that amount.

Senyetse

Yes, try red sands country lodge http://www.redsands.co.za/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Stayed there before, not bad.

Senyetse

Ek weet nie hoekom is daar twee threads nie...

Senyetse

Dalkill, exactly what I have found. The retail value given by insurance is a rip off! By the way, the value should take into account the mileage and condition. Nowhere have I been asked what the milage nor the condition of the vehicle is.

No way you going to find a DECENT 2.7 for that price. Once in blue moon geluk ja, but that should not push the average down that much. Exactly! If I add the accessories and canopy then it gets to about R90 000 that I'll get if I suffered total loss but I'd still not be able to replace my vehicle wi...

Damn, die goed verkoop vir baie meer as dit!

Is dit nou retail of markwaarde? Soos ek verstaan is retail hoer as mark.

Anyone know what the retail value for a 2000 2.7i Raider double cab 4x4 is? 195 000 km and very good condition. FSH. Tuffstuff wants to insure my vehicle for R75000. I reckon that's a bit on the low side.

Thanks for the pics Niel.

Senyetse

I think we should rather do Augrabies, then Richtersveld (via Eksteenfontein), then Canyon Roadhouse.

I'm just worried about the travel time from Augrabies to Richtersveld. Can anyone recommend a campsite between Augrabies and Richtersveld.

We're planning a trip to Southern Namibia in December 2013. It will be my wife , the kids and I in a 2000 Hilux 2.7 D/C 4x4 and my brother and his wife in a diesel Hyundai Tuscon 4x4. This is the route and itenerary I'm contemplating. Unfortunately we don't have very much time to do it in. 1) 17, 18...

Was so 2 of 3 jaar terug daar. Dis nogal 'n mooi plek. Fasiliteite was goed toe ons daar was.

Side doors are fitted. Looks very cool and works well. Much better! Will post pics soon.

The doors I bought from Andre arrived this morning. I'll see if I can fit them this weekend.

I bought the Tentco bundu safari canopy at their sale this last weekend. Got home, opened it up and saw it had only 1 guy rope, no pegs. Phoned them on Monday, yes its should have 5 guys and pegs, sorry about that. Said they will send their driver to get missing parts to me. Its a bit far from Krug...

You can get Tentco products at Camp and climb in CT

Very nice indeed. Price you can expect to pay? About R1600 - R1900 depending on size - I had a look at them last week at Campworld Tentco has exactly the same thing for about R1300 http://www.tentco.co.za/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&pro...

Wow as luck would have it Andre's canopy is the same as mine so I've taken his doors :-). They should be here by the end of the week or early next week.

Pics of the rack

Quick update. I decided to get the foot assemblies and use the existing tracks on the Lux's roof. I got 4 x 40 mmm foot assemblies (almost new) for R650 form a guy on the LCCSA forum and bought 2 x 50 mm foot assemblies (new) from LA Sport for R520. I sommer fitted all 6 assemblies - the two 50 mms ...

Andre, I may be interested. I'll send you a PM.

Mark! Thanks, that's what I'm going to do. At 3K per door that's almost twice what I paid for the caopy!

I'm looking at having vertically opening lockable side doors installed in place of the windows on my fibreglass Beekman canopy just like the ones on the Alu Cabs. Beekman have discontinued the doors on the Hilux range so they can't help me. Any ideas of other places who may be able to assist? How ha...

Thanks Niel, yes that looks cool

Tentco is having a special in March on the Bundu Canopy R1190, I think the nromal price is R1290

Thanks for the pic warren.
So I assume the 6th pole will be where the awning attaches to the top of the canopy. I see the 6th pole is an optional extra

Senyetse

Ja I'm looking for an awning that can also be detached from the vehicle and stand on its own - so it can then be used like a gazebo for longer stays. This type of awning looks like it can do what I want and side panels are available. I see Howling Moon also make a similar awning sold at Campworld.

Senyetse

Thanks, Niel.

Niel,

I'm interested in getting the Tentco awning. Is it quick to set up?

Thanks guys! Ja, I think I'm going to go the track route. I may at some point want to put jerry cans on the top, so rather do the right thing now. The guy at FR told me the tracks setup with feet is stronger. They also discontinued the demountable setup, apparently people would take the rack off and...

Senyetse

OK according to FR I need 2 x 40 mm foot assembly and 2 x 50 mm foot assembly - all for R1040. I know of 1 guy who is selling 4 x 40 mm and another selling 4 x 50 mm for less than half the price. Now to convince each of them to sell me only 2. Mybe I should by all 8, then I've got spares.

Senyetse

Andy, I'd prefer to use the existing tracks on my Lux's roof. But I'll have to buy feet.
Thanks Mark, I'll first find out what those feet cost, they don't have the prices on the FR site (which is down all of a sudden).

Senyetse

The ones in the first picture are also FR fittings, they are called demountable rails.

Senyetse

Andy, its nt the carrier that is the problem, but the foot piece that does not fit into the track that is already on the roof of my Lux. If you look at the bottom of the roof rack in the pic above, there's a rubber strip that the foot of the foot piece fits in and rests upon. Essentially the track o...

I've just bought a second hand FR Wind Cheetah roof rack that was on a 2002 KZTE DC. My vehicle has tracks on the roof - the last owner also had a FR Wind Cheetah but never sold it with the vehicle.

Thanks :-)

I only went to fetch the RR last night. It's in fairly good condition just needs a clean. I just have to fit it now. Anyone know of a place that will fit it for me in my area? LA Sport?

I can get a 1.2 m Frontrunner Windcheetah roof rack second hand for R2000 with the fitting pieces. In excellent condition. It comes off a 2002 Hilux DC. Is the FR a good rack? Any issues? Good price?
