Ek sal die prys gee sodra ek die bakkie begin adverteer. Nog nie gereed om te verkoop nie.

Thabo, Ek vat die bakkie die 26ste April in paneelkloppers toe en verwag dat hy begin Mei gaan uitkom. Dan gaan ek hom adverteer en verkoop. Daar is 'n lang lys ekstras wat ek dan sal lys. As daar belangstelling is om die bakkie met selfgemaakte alu-cab, laaistelsel en dakrak te koop sal ek hom so v...

Hannes Thirion

Thanks for the advice. I have accepted the quote and will take the vehicle in for repair. Chris said: 'and ask the panelbeater to buff up the paint and make her all pretty again ... maar dan gaan jy NIE verkoop nie ... :)' Chris ek moet verkoop om die Troopy te koop. :-) Ja, ek gaan die Hilux mis, o...

I am in the process to sell my 2004 Toyota Hilux KZ-TE D/C 4x4. It have a dent on the mudguard and bonnet. See Photo. Drive into a erosion ditch late at night while taking photos of the milkyway. I do have a quote for repair. I am selling because I a buying a Landcruiser. What will you recommend: 1....

Bought my first KZ in 2004. A 2001 model with 121k km on the clock. Sold it in 2013 with 285k km on the clock because I got a 2004 model with 90k km. The 2001 model had a SAC intercooler and Dustek chip. Serviced it myself and drive it like a diesel, not like a petrol. Kept the rev's below 3000 and ...

Hannes Thirion

Thanks Stef. Yes, that is also my experience.
I think I will do both, advertise the vehicle with extras, without extras and extras separately and see what happen.
Will place ads within a few days.

Hannes Thirion

This is not a for sale ad, I will place the for sale ad later. I do have the opportunity to buy a Cruiser and have to sell my KZ before I can buy the Cruiser. If someone would be interested in buying the Hilux, would they buy it with the home made aluminium canopy and load system in the back or with...

I need some advice from the forum. I am about ready to sell my 2001 Hilux KZ-TE DC 4x4. It have 283k km on the clock and as far as I know there is mechanically nothing wrong with it. I know that the book value of Hilux's and Cruisers are nothing to go by for secondhand value on the one hand and that...

Bought my 2001 KZ 4x4 DC at 120k km in 2004 with a SAC inter-cooler and chip. Today at 283k km. Apart for the normal services (5k km oil change and 10k km oil and filters), brakes, tires, batteries, fan belts and cam belts (replace it myself for the second time recently to found out how easy it is. ...

'Wonder why they don't have any info on their dealers in Botswana and Namibia?' Sorry for talking to myself on the forum, but hope this may be useful for others. I did not find Botswana and Namibia since Bots, Nam, Swaziland and Lesotho are all under regions of South Africa... See http://www.toyota....

Yes, thanks, this is useful info.

I am planning to leave Pretoria on 13 June and travel through Botswana and Zambia to the north of Tanzania. Total distance of the trip will be between 10 and 11 k km. Me and a friend will travel with my 2001 KZ-TE D/C 4x4 with 202k on the clock. I have checked everything. We will take a satellite ph...

Now where is all the "dieselkoppe"? Niel!!!! I know nothing about diesels, but a mate a mine had similar problems with his X5. It turned out to be one of the turbo hoses that came loose and caused blowby. The ECU in turn went into limp mode and the car seemed like it had no power, etc. Wa...

Hannes Thirion

Hannes There is only one good long term fix for your problem. Fit a 3RZ motor and you will never look back again :twisted: :twisted: Bennie, Since you have a 'petrol head' icon I believe this 3RZ engine is a petrol engine? No thanks, I would rather trade the KZ for a 4.2 diesel Cruiser without any ...

Hannes Thirion

Some background. I bought my KZ with 120k on the clock with a SAC intercooler fitted. I did fit a Frontrunner long range tank last year. In December the KZ for the first time loose power and missed. It look and feel like diesel starvation, so I believe it is diesel starvation. Idle 100% smooth and w...

My 2001 KZ-TE 4x4 have passed 200 000 km two weeks ago and I am preparing him for a long trip to Tanzania and back. Should I look at replacing wheel bearings? I have drained all oils, engine, diffs, gearboxes and did the normal service, grease etc. What else should be done / checked before this trip...

Hannes Thirion

Where can I get a centre wheel cap (second hand or new) for my KZ-TE 4X4 in the Gauteng area? Toyota is ordering it for me for three months already, but it seems like they are struggling. :thumbdown: Are you still looking for one? I have lost one and took the other one off to let my two front wheel...

Hannes Thirion

May I ask my one stupid question for this week? I have done the 200 000 km service on my 2001 KZ 4x4 this weekend and drained, or tried to drain all oils. Does the gearbox and transfer gearbox have one and the same drain - and filler plug? I did see that there are a drain and filler plug on each, bu...

Hi everyone, I am not a regular on the Hilux Forum, but I do read it from time to time. I use my Hilux to get out in nature to relax and take photos.

Gert, I bought my 2001 KZ-TE D/C 4x4 in 2003 with 120 000 km on the clock with a SAC intercooler installed by the previous owner. It stands on 180 000 km + now, and still running without a hitch. I bought this bakkie because I want a KZ, not necessarily one with a intercooler. Unfortunately I cannot...

My 2001 KZ-TE D/C 4x4 need new shocks.
I did consider Camils, but their price went up recently.
I now consider Ironman. What is the difference between the nitro gas and foam cell shocks apart from the fact that the foam cells are more expensive that gas?
