Thanks

Greenhorn

What is involved in a SAS conversion ? and what is the estimated cost?

Do you need to find a front and rear diffs, or can you match one up with the current rear diff ?
Is their changes to the prop shaft ?
....etc ...

Thanks

How do you know when it i time to replace the propshaft centre bearing?

Greenhorn

I took the hilux for a drive to find out exactly where the noise is, and have figured out that the noise is coming from the rear. What noise or how do i test if the propshaft center bearing needs to be replaced. I would like to tell the stealer exactly what to replace so they don't take me for a rid...

Hi all, My front left wheel bearing is starting to make a noise, and i would like to replace it. I would like to make it a diy job, but the problem is i don't have a garage or the space and limited knowledge. Is there any one on the forum that can assist me or can advise a place i can take it to. I ...

Hey Charlie,

Can't wait for those rock sliders, what is the approximate price you are planning to sell them for ?
Are you also planning to integrate lift points into them?

I get my bash plates fitted yesterday at http://www.for-fours.com/ , great quality and also great service.

Thanks Charles & family .

I would post pictures, but still don't seem to be able to get them right.

Greenhorn

When do you know when a wheel bearing needs replacement ? There is a noise coming from the front left wheel, not sure if it is the hub or bearing.

I also seem to have that problem on my ifs hilux, is there a lot of work involved in changing it?

Greenhorn

What is the price for a set of Burnco Rock Sliders ? and are they available in JHB ?

Greenhorn

Here are some ideas for rock sliders. http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/tech/sliders/

If you use the bolt on type, do they bolt on to the chassis ?

Greenhorn

Hey iHilux,

Those rock sliders look great !!! Where do you get them and how much does it cost ?

Greenhorn

Where do i get one of those pin type towballs from in the JHB area?

Greenhorn

Will let you know once i go through the service history.

Greenhorn

My bakkie has done 316 000 km , there seems to be slight clutch shudder/slip. This is my first 4x4 and not sure if it is because of the heavy duty clutch or it is from wear .

Greenhorn

Sorry about the stupid question, but what is a crawler such as a Marlin Crawler and how does it work ?

Greenhorn

My clutch is starting to shudder, and would like to replace it.

Which kit should i fit the Sachs, Valeo or OEM clutch kit ? So many choices and not enough knowledge.

Btw - what is the price to recon the gearbox, mine is starting to grind a bit too and hard to select gears when in 4x4

Greenhorn

Just finished the testing, i removed the aircon unit belt and the sound has gone away. How hard is it to remove the aircon unit? I have the manuals from pietpetoors will have a look at them too. Do i just take the unit to an aircon place and tell them to replace the bearing or do i tell them the ser...

Greenhorn

I opened the bonnet yesterday and it seems the noise is coming from the aircon unit. How much work is it to get the aircon pump out and how much would it cost me to get it repaired?

I will test the alternator this weekend, but i also forgot to mention that two weeks ago that i did a river crossing a couple of times at a 4x4 training course.

Greenhorn

I drove the bakkie with out the wife, and the whining still was there.

The bakkie has 316000 km on the clock, at idle there is no whining only on acceleration.

I have not tried to remove the belts yet, will try that this weekend.

Greenhorn

My 2.7 high mileage hilux has a whining engine, could this be from the chain ?

Greenhorn

I'm looking at having the gearbox serviced as there is some whining and sometimes difficulty engaging gears.
Anyone know of a good place to take my bakkie to ? and what cost i can expect ?

Greenhorn

Hi Sifu-Lux

That looks great, could you post the items you used to build your compressor hose.

Greenhorn

Hi All, I bought a Hilux with a Arb compressor, but didn't come with the hose attachment used to pump up the tires. I wanted make my own hose, but was at Builders warehouse looking at the hoses available there. They had two different ones, with the same pressure ratings but different diameters. What...

Greenhorn

With my Hilux been an IFS model, i think that the bash plate is important. My hilux is fitted with an ARB bumper, will this be a problem to get a bash plate?

Greenhorn

Has anybody used a Racor fuel filter before ? I was thinking of adding one to my Hilux after hearing all these stories of bad fuel, especially filling up in small towns and other African countries.

Greenhorn

I am looking to add some bash plates to my hilux, any ideas where i can go to get good quality plates at a reasonable price ? I have emailed http://www.for-fours.com/ but never got a reply.

Greenhorn

Hi,

Greenhorn

Hi all,

I have a opportunity to purchase a high mileage toyota hilux 2.7 srx, with 313 000 km on the clock.
How much longer will the engine be mechanically sound?

Thanks
