Just to make Thys a bit happier, I used to be a biiiig Ford fan, that was when it was a REAL Ford, drove Anglia panel van, cortina, and finally a Sierra which my son kindly wrote off when he wrapped it around a tree.. Well, to be honest; I wouldn't be able to say no to most of the old Fords either....

For the bakkie I agree with the previous comments: rather invest in something more powerful...

Saw this video for the first time about a year ago, reaction (goosebumps etc) remains the same.

If you look closely you will see that all the subs are WWII subs running on DIESEL apart from that one which looks the same the only difference is it has a turbine Rolls Royce jet engine..... Which is not giving him a lead due to the photo finish that Thys mentioned.... :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: ...

1973 Ford F100: "Bought" it from my dad in 2002 for a family discount, overhauled engine (must have had 400k km at that time) and had a hell of a good time with the truck especially on gravel roads. Traded it back in for a 2001 Nissan 1400 for my studies in Cape Town. Probably travelled th...

Not too familiar with the model numbers or the SFAs in particular, but found this on Amayama.com:

smokintyres

Thanks Eric, but it won't be of much use in Namibia, or am I missing something? We already have a license for two way radios (so far only handheld type) for use on the plot in case of fires, burglaries etc. The frequency allocated to us is for the central region only though, so for purposes of fitti...

Mickey, I was looking at the pressure locks however I do need to keep my costs down, I have some ideas on how to stop the rattling of the arms, so will have to see what happens. Things can always change... :( Just an idea: If you need to keep cost down I can recommend the locks usually used for tra...

I have used quite a big mild steel type hinge, that I welded to the frame itself. Nothing special really. Thought so. Same here :thumbup: Not as good looking as the aluminium bolt-on ones, but easily removable in the open position; very happy with my choice so far :cool: Just remember to grease the...

smokintyres

Great News!!! Congrats to the Imperial Toyota team!!

smokintyres

Great job so far!

What kind of hinges did you use on the doors? Or was it mentioned in a previous post and I just missed it?

smokintyres

Easier to remember is 300 / MHz which gives you the wavelength. That formula is close enough for all practical purposes. That will result in a full-wave antenna which will be roughly 2M long, so we trim the antennas to a quarter-wave which allows a lot of leniency in respect of various frequencies ...

Awesome!!

smokintyres

Standard VHF whip antennas are 2.5m long, and need to be tuned to the wavelength of the frequency that you will be using. The salesman should be able to do it for you yes. Or you can work it out yourself if you know what frequency you will be using. The equation is: wavelength = speed of light (in ...

smokintyres

Correct yes. But keep in mind that an antenna is tuned to a specific frequency. So the further you move away from that frequency the less effective the antenna. Some antenna are more capable than others in handling a wider range of frequencies but it can only be tune to one frequency optimally. Tha...

smokintyres

What is of great importance is getting your radio antenna "tuned" (cut to the right length) for the frequency you will be using and having your antenna as vertical as possible as these will improve transmission and reception markedly. Surely a competent radio sales person should be able t...

I bought the bakkie with a fiber glass canopy, but found that it was tedious to get stuff in and out and loading a bike was not possible without removing the canopy. So after looking at canopies all around town and on the internet, I decided to build a half high canopy as (similar to Kaspaas). I did...

Sorted, key was worn, got the spare. Ignition is still difficult to turn though...?

My key simply won't turn in the ignition. Had this on occasion in the past weeks, but always managed to get it to turn after some fiddling with the key and steering wheel. Now it won't move at all. Moving steering wheel or pushing key in all possible directions won't help... I don't want to spend th...

The term "RECOVERY" is misleading. See how many true/false's you get.. If I tow a vehicle on a tar road from where it ran out of oil to the nearest garage and I use that recovery point that is described in the article below it will be perfectly fine. True /False?? Problem comes in when we...

smokintyres

Thanks Theunis. I agree, the tow hitch mentioned should be strong enough. It's the position and the way it is attached to the vehicle that is dangerous in my opinion. I have witnessed a standard Toyota towbar snap during a recovery, where the tow hitch of the vehicles was used. But I am by no means ...

smokintyres

Just got my hands on the latest SA 4x4 magazine and came across this letter from a reader. I can't comment on the hooks provided for towing, but judging by the width, they might be suitable for a light recovery. But I stand corrected? What really made my chin drop, is the statement that a "remo...
