Hilux 4x4 Forum

Hi there, Would appreciate advice please. I have a KZTE, Legend 35 D/C 4x4 which has done 170k now. No problems other than the normal services, which is done at the local Toyota dealer. I am considering to replace the std suspension set-up with Old Man Emu system as the bakkie is in a very clean and...

Thanks for all the valuable replies! The canopy is in today to have a sliding window fitted for "other reasons', so I will now have the option to open this sliding window. (That rubber seal is not doiing it for me - leaking + noise + most of all, the scuffing of paitwork.) I don't have much tim...

Hi there, I have a KZTE D/C and would like some advice please. I need to make the lid of the loading bin more "dust proof". With the canopy on, it seems most of the dust entres at the vertical space between the tail lights and the lid (agterklap). There is a huge gap visible. Any comments?...

Thanks all for the comments, and yes, I had the numbers wrong. The "slightly higher" profile is the 31 - the one I had in my mind. Neil, I have a 2005 Legend KZTE - not sure if the rim is a 7JJ or 7J. But as they say, "die koeel is deur die kerk" - had them fitted late yesterday....

Advice needed please,
I am considering to change the stock std tyres on my KZTE D/C4x4 to the 30x10.5R15. (Currently with 265 x 70 R15). (I hope I have all the numbers correct) My tyre of choice the BG Goodrich
PRo's and cons please?

Hi there,
Any advice on what product should I use on the grey leather seats of my KZTE bakkie?
regards

Ai...ai, Evert, wat de bliksem het jy met my bakkie se enjin aangevang! Daai enjin was splinternuut vanuit Toyota SA se fabriek en het seepglad geloop kort voordat ek verkoop het!(sug ...nou is ek eers hartseer dat ek verkoop het!) Nou net weer hier ingeloer sedert verlede jaar! Weet nie hoe ver die...

Hi Justin,
Also a good idea to verify if the new model will fit into your garage. A friend of mine is battling to get it into his garage - it is huge in lenght and width.

Hi There,
I recently bought a second hand KZTE (2003 model) . Where can I find the torque and kw curves (per RPM) for this motor ?

regards

Hi there,
Is there a real difference in diesel brands that we get in the Western Cape, and if so, which would you recommend for a KZTE motor?
(I am obvious quite new to diesel vehicles!)
Regards

Ek het besluit om te verkoop.
Sien sien onder second hand corner en foto link ingesluit!

Blik..m!
Kan nie kla dat ek nie reguit kommentaar kry! Veral die verwysing na die kaktus in 'n ongemaklike plek ingedruk nogal geniet!!

Your sugestions please - What may be the possible mehanical cause of a 2003 KZTE D/C with 117000km on ODO with fuel consumption of 7.8 - 8 km/liter. The bakkie was serviced regurlarly , but the last 70000km not at Toyota dealer. The bakkie feels more "sluggish" than expected. Does the Toyo...

Ek sal ook foto's neem - Hoe post 'n mens foto's en hoe groot moet hulle wees om op die forum te laai?

Evert,
Ek sal jou bel. Ek het moontlik reggekom met 'n nuwer model - moet net vannaand eers huisgvergadering hou!

Groete

Aan F-D, Lyk my Klerksdorp se mense het 'n goeie humorsin!! (he-he) Het tydens twee mty's se samesmelting in 2001 'n bouprojek bestuur in Klerksdorp - ook so by verskeie ander dorpe. Klerksdorp het egter uitgestaan. Het 'n lokale bouer (pa en seun) gebruik. Op elke fout wat ons uitgewys het, het hul...

Dankie aan almal wat reageer! My wens is dat my volgende Hilux se eienaar net so passievol is oor sy voertuie soos ek! Ek weet ek gaan lank soek... My 2.2 D/C is, en ek probeer hard realisties wees, werklik iets besonders. Ek sal bv. van enige onderdeel op die engin eet - geen teken van vuil, wat no...

Hi there, I would appreciate your valued inputs in what a fair selling price would be for my bakkie. I am on the look-out to replace it with a newer model Hilux. My bakkie: 1994 2.2 4X4 Raider D/C (white) with service history A/C, dual battery, ruberised bin, canopy, second spare wheel with removabl...

Jaws, Thanks for the information.
I did phone around, and the lower priced ones have lots of km's. The last one looks the best, but I am "versigtig" for a vehichle with a performance conversion done to it!

Would your call be to go for the KZTE rather that petrol?
Regards

Hi there, Still on the look out for a low km's KZTE or 2.7i Your comments on the following please With a price difference of say R25-30 between the above, which one would you choose and why? Where can I find kW and T-curves for these motors? Apart from purchasing price, is the KZTE "cheaper&quo...

Thanks for the information!

I am looking for a pre-facelift D/C 4x4 2.7i with low km's! If you know of one or a "tentative" seller I can contact, please let me know. I am based in Cape Town but will be in Gauteng regurlarly untill March 2008 if needed to come and view.
regards
Jaco

Can someone please direct me to a site (or post thr graphs!) where Torque and power curves can be found of the 2.7i and KZTE bakkie motors? Maybe a site with more than these models ? In the biking world there is at least one site where technical specs can be found on almost every m/cycle out there, ...

Same problem with the same seats (and vehicle it seems)! It feels as if the driver is always "slipping" forward and down on my '94 D/C seat(standard "bucket-type" seats in front). I have lifted the seat by putting in spacers underneath the seat as I felt the seats were too low - ...

Neil,
Hoe lyk dit, kan ons nie 'n transaksie aanmekaarslaan met jou KZTE en my SFA D/C?
Groete :D

Die verwysing na kamertemp. is nogal misleidend. In Europa is "kamertemp" baie naby aan ons verkoelde temp. Niks fout daarmee om rooi wyn, nadat oopgemaak, te verkoel. Koue rooi wyn steeds beter as ge-oksideerde wyn! Probeer 'n wyn- en -kos kursus saam met jou vrou doen. Dit sal haar die w...

Hi Benhur, Nee, jou box wyn het nie gefermenteer, maar wel in kontak met suurstof begin oksideer! Die oksidaie proses is wyn se groot vyand! Die "afgaan van wyn" kan beprek word deur dit vinniger te drink, of nadat dit oopgemaak is, te verseel en koud te stoor. Koue temp. sal die oksidasie...

Please forgive me if this topic was raised before somewhere else. If so, please direct me to it as am new on this forum. I am considering the option to buy a newer Hilux. (currently '94 2.2 DC) What is the expected fuel consumption of the 2.7 and the KZTE at, say 120km/h? Is the addiational money sp...

What is the current price one can expect to pay for OME and Ironman for a '94 model D/C (The last of the 2.2P)
regards

Het onlangs aangesluit by die forum - seker die regte ding om te doen om eers myself bekend te stel. My naam is Jaco Marais en bly in Somerset-West. Getroud met twee seuns (3 en 5j) en werk in die wyn bedryf. Ek het die gewoonte om 'n "verhouding" met my voertuie aan te gaan, en is traag o...
