How did the bmw looked like? I bet much worst than your hilux.
You can now say you drove over a bmw. hahahaha
I see we are in the same town Nelspruit.

Peter

Do you have pics of your bakkie?
You have almost half `n mil km`s on your bakkie.
Do you still have the original engine in and did you have to replace anything up until now?
Well done!!

Hi there At last I got myself a new pair of tyres. I settled for the Bridgestone deulers AT's 31x10.5x15. The BfG's price are to high now and if I can get the same km's with the deulers why go for the BfG. You guys were wright about the speedo it is now almost 100% correct. When my gps is at 119km/h...

Dis nou my Hilux by sy tuis veld!

Dankie Marius Ek het na jou website gaan kyk en alles lyk by netjies. Ons gebruik wel 2 yskaste en ons het n groot batterypak wat hulle krag gee. Ek dink ek sal bietjie alles gaan meet dan kan ons bietjie kyk wat gedoen kan word. Wat sal so iets min of meer kos? Stel jy voor dat ons kyk na verbeterd...

Hi daar. Ek is tans opsoek na n laairak wat ons in ons Fortuner Epic kan sit. Ons het 2 kamp vrieskaste met een groot battery stelsel wat elke keer saam gaan. ons sal aan die onderkant van die vrieskas platform laaie wil hê om ook nog goed te kan in laai. Enige tweede handse laaie sal ons ook kan ko...

Ek het die 1ste generasie supra. Het geen probleme met hom nie. Hy is wel swaar so in die omgewing van 1600kg droog, dis wat op die lisensie skyf staan. eending wat ek sal sê hulle totaalenal n blaps mee gemaak het is die hak en die nood rem stelsel wat maar met n dun draad vas gemaak is aan die gro...

Hi
Ek het ook 1 met 260k op die klok en is glad nie spyt ek het R98k betaal nie.
Die 2.7i's is legend. Hulle is kannie dood's. Myne hardloop nog mooi en weet van ander ouens wat se 2.7i's oor die 500k kilos op het en nog nie eers die motor oop gehad nie. Vat hom dis 'n bargain.

Werner

Chris Thank you. I heard that the BFG will also give about 80000+ km when drining with the right tyre pressure. I also like the bridgetone duelers they are very good tyres. We had them on our old Pajero en our new Fortuner. I think the BFG are just a bit better on the off road and last a bit longer ...

Hi there I am shopping for new tyres for my `99 Hilux 2.7i dc 4x4. At the moment I have got Bfg Muds on and they are the 30x9.5x15. The mags are the standard hilux mags. Will it be possible to put 31x10.5x15 Bfg At on? Will they be scratching against the body when turning sharp. The hilux is lifted ...

HI guys I am also looking to get at a pair of 31x10.5x15" BF AT`s for my hilux. I have got the 99 2.7i dc 4x4. There are only 3 things that worry me. Will they fit? I have still got the std mags on. Will they scratch against the body when turning sharp? The hilux is lifted with the torsion bars...

Dankie julle

Ek stuur alles vir hulle. Hulle is die boffins met die electronics op die karre.
Ek is ook maar `n liefhebber van meganika as dit kom by karre.
Nog net een vraag van my kant af, wat is die EDU op die RAV4 2.0 petrol?
Ek laat julle weet as hulle reg gekom het.

Baie Dankie

Werner

I have send it to them.
Thanks Cassie
Will let you know.

Werner

Hi there guys. I hope anyone would be able to help. I have a couple of friends that has a workshop and has got difficulty with a RAV4. The year model is around 2004 petrol. On their diacnostics they get the following errors and would like to know what it is EDU - P1215 Circuit Malfunction If anyone ...

Dankie Heinrich
Ek is ongelukkig in Nelspruit. As ek die vere gaan vervang gaan ek verseker greaseable shackles opsit ook.
Ek sal bietjie gaan rond shop hier en as ek nie reg kom nie sal ek hulle verseker dan bel.

Stef
Will go to their website thanks. I have got the IFS.
If I remember correctly the front from ground to the underside of the fender is around 950mm or 980mm.
Will go and check to make sure.

I don`t really want a temporary solution as I am camping alot and drive 4x4 atleast every second week.
I think I`ll have to save up for some new ones. Maybe OME or Ironman.
Do you guys know what the limit is on the lift with the torsion bars in front?

How much does new leafs cost, do you guys know?

Werner

George I have got the Monroe Gas Magnum shocks in the front and the rear. I have heard that they are also a good shock. I also think it could be the leafs that is starting to become slack. I'll have to hear how much the guys here will ask me to retension them. Simon I don't like the air helpers. Wha...

Hi there My '99 4x4 DC Hilux's rear is hanging and I would like to know how I can get it leveled out. The front suspension was lifted with the torsion bars and and now it seems if thow the rear of the bakkie is hanging down. I do have a canopy on the rear and I do carry a lot of things with when goi...

Pieter Ja dit klink soos myne daai. Het ook al die 4x4 trailer gesleep en was swaar gelaai met die ac en sulke verbruik gekry. My sal ek maar standaard hou. Hier is ouens hier in Nelspruit wat Spitronics op die bakkies en karre doen met groot sukses in krag lewering en brandstof verbruik. Al wat ek ...

Pieter I have got the same Hilux as you '99 DC 2.7 4x4 and I am getting 7.5 c2c and on the long road I get 8. Ok buy saying that on the long road I don't drive faster than 130km/h. Rudi My voorstel sal wees die d4d. Dis 'n ongelooflike 4x4 met baie krag en is lig op diesel. Al hoekom ek nog die ou h...

Hi there guys. Thanks for all your help. I have sorted out my problems.
The squeaking at the back is the shackle bushes that is sterting to wear out. The knocking at the front was the anti-rol pins that was completely worn out. The exhaust is also suspect.

Thank you for your help.
Werner

Hi daar manne. Dis goed om te sien hier op die forum is ook manne wat van my kant van die land is. NTT Witrivier is goed met hulle diens. Dan is daar ook LePre Auto Clinic in Nelspruit wat spesialiseer in Toyota. Ek en my ours vat al jare lank ons 4x4's daar na hulle toe en kry goeie diens. Hulle is...

Nice van wat jy gekry het! Ek sal voorstel om 'n long range tank te kry. My ma het die 4.0 4x4 Fortuner en hy is maar bietjie dors. Daar is blykbaar goed wat gedoen kan word om hom ligter te maak op die sous. Dit kan ongelukkig nie gedoen word as die kar nog onder waarborg is nie. Geniet hom!! Hy he...

The pipe is a cowley pipe that is fitted. The tail end doen't bend to go out to the side, it goes straight out next to the spare wheel. There is a small bend next to the long range tank that was hitting the tank. I took it bak and the made the bend a little bigger. I might agree with you that there ...

Dankie julle.
Ek sal na dit kyk of laat kyk.
Dit sal darm nie die exhaust wees nie. Ek het die ander dag 'n nuwe een laat opsit aan die agterkant.
Daar was 'n rattel a.g.v. die exhaust wat teen die chassis en die long range tank geklap het maar is nou reg gemaak.

Thanks OOMS and CasKru.
I will have a look at it.
The knocking sound is coming from the rear of the car.
I don't hope it is anything that is loose. I am going to Sodwana in a week.

Hi there I am new to the forum and recently got a 1999 2.7i 4x4 d/c Hilux. It's an awesome truck. Recently I started to get squeaks in the front and the rear when driving over high humps. I also got a knocking sound when going over these huge boulders the traffic department puts in the road here. No...
