I am taking it to the installer today to disconnect it so I can measure the mA again. Thanks for the info regarding the standby current.

HiluxJunkie

Hi folks My 2.7 is heavy on juice! Battery juice !! I measured the current being drawn when the bakkie is switched off. It is between 500 to 800 mA. So I started looking for causes and found an old tracking system still drawing juice. I disconnected it, and the current being drawn when switched off ...

I want to get a Jurgens XT75 camp trailer. The trailer is 1.8m long. My two RTT when mounted next to each other is longer than this.
This will result in each tent hanging over on the trailer.......500mm in front and 500mm at the back. Does anyone know if the spietkops will have a problem with this ?

HiluxJunkie

Very nice!!!! what's the total KG's op the packing system? how did you manage to fasten it to the bakkie?? It is still loose and I will test it when loaded to see if this will be a problem. I like it loose because I can easily remove it when I need the bin empty. It actualy fits snugly between the ...

Simon as `n man kan dan kan hy. Lyk my jy kan. Een vraag - Is die yskas nie te hoog om by te kom en om binne in te sien en werk nie?

sorry 25 x 3 angle iron.

HiluxJunkie

5mm angle iron. System weighs around 40kg. Ammo crates I got from a mate who is into Bisley target shooting. They usauly just lay around the army shooting range where they practice.

HiluxJunkie

Managed to finish my little project last Saturday. The total cost amounted to R1100. The system works lekka. Wil test it the weekend of October during a nice trip to the Kruger!

Still need to figure that part out.......might drill some holes in the bin.

Mounted the bearings today. Still need to tidy up the welding........I am not a boilermaker

HiluxJunkie

Ja.....daai rails is belaglik duur. Ek het R10 per bearing betaal. Ek gebruik 12. Boute en moere was R16. Angle iron vir daai lengte sal jou so +- R20 kos.. Dus as jy Macgyver gekyk het as kleuter en jy kan 'n plan maak om dit te bou in jou backyard..... kos twee slides so R160 vir +- 1500mm. Ek het...

My IFS het die ARB op. Ondervind geen probleme met die standaard TB en Monro setup.

Hy neuk wel bietjie rond met "nosediving" waneer ek 'n ditch in die sand duine kry en ek is bietjie vinnig

HiluxJunkie

Also thought 110 000 would be a fair price.

HiluxJunkie

the 2.7 handles the caravan well on straights, but uphill it stuggles. Cons is 4-5km/l towing.

HiluxJunkie

I want to change our camping setup to a D4D :thumbup: and a offroad trailer. Currently we use the 2.7 and a Sprite Sprint caravan. What would be a desent price to ask for my Lux. It is a white 2001 model 2.7 DC Raider 4x4. The one with difflock, Airbags and ABS. It has a ARB bumper with HL and point...

I have the 2.5 Howling Moon Sfafari one which is usually mounted on offroad caravans and campers. Bought from Campworld for 1650. It is the one that is in the bag and the bag attach to those alluminium rails used on caravans to slide the tent through. I rivetted the rails to my African Outback roofr...

I made a frame from 20x3 angle iron and used plywood to fit into frame. I carpeted the plywood board. I then drilled holes through the board and angle iron frame and put eye bolts through. I then used two rathchet straps to tie it down on frame/board. I then used some furnlock sliders and bolted the...

Hi Petri. I have a 2.7 and is extremely happy with it.I use mine for towing and overlanding mostly. When I first started looking i was actually looking for a KZTE but could not find a decent one in my budget.

Mine was an early 70's Corona MK2 bakkie. My grand dad bought it new to use on his farm. My dad inhererited it. I bough it from my dad while I was a studying for R2000. It was my pride and joy. Then it got stolen while I was on a date with my girlfriend ( wife to be ). I had to phone the cops to com...

I searched a bit on the Internet and I have found that the wading depth of 700mm mentioned here is for the latest models (2005-). I can't find a definite answer for the IFS models. It seems to be between 440 and 480mm. What do guys think is the wading depth for my 1999 DC? I guess a safe assumption...

The time has finally arrived that I bought a the national luna split charging system, and now i'm about to fit it. The deep cycle battery is to be mounted on the r/r wheel arch in my SFA. Reason is to keep the weight on the axle and also this is an unused space that is perfectly filled by the batte...

HiluxJunkie

My box is bolted to the bak and the battery fits snugly into the box. When lid is closed, it is secured. No extra brackets inside box to hold down battery.

Looks lekka Mr.Zane !

I am going to make the same type of frame but was thinking of making frames for the doors as well. Why did you not make frames for the doors ? Aren't they flimsy ? Wont they bent a little when pulled tight against the sealing rubber?

HiluxJunkie

Simon I like your idea, just one question: What if some of the windows are closed already - you would be running all the motors for the same time (according to the timer circuit timer) to maybe close one (or none) windows when the flicker lights trigger the timer when you set the alarm. I would thi...

HiluxJunkie

Please keep us posted.Would also like to close the windows when you activate the alarm. To do this, I would use the 12v to the indicators because they flikker when alarm is activated. Install a 12v timer relay somewhere under the dash. This timer will be a delay of timer and set the time to the tim...

HiluxJunkie

Why do you want to turn to 1st click to open windows ? Rather have 12v there all the time to open and close without key in ign. Wire a 12v supply via a fuse to each window switch. Remove the 12v supply on the one end of the switch and tape it up with insulation tape, then solder the new supply to it...
