Hilux 4x4 Forum

The standard rims work perfect. I'm riding on 31x10.5's for many years and have no problems!

Hi Luke, Haven't been on the FORUM for quite a while, but also noticed that nobody has responded to your question. The 'best insurance deal' will obviously depend on your risk profile, especially with regard to any claims during the past 5 years. Extras on our vehicles may indeed be insured over and...

Het jy enige ander vraag oor 'n Hilux Remus? :-))

En wees maar versigtig hoe en wie jy deur mielielande jaag! Ek sien deesdae eindig dit in die howe met lelike nagevolge vir die boere...

A bit late on the topic, but here are my views. I bought my 2004 KZ in 2007 from the first owner with 47k km on the clock. It is now sitting at 208k and to date only had a clutch replacement, which cost me R4500. The cambelt replacement at 140k cost me R600 - R300 for the OE belt and R300 for labor....

Terry, I think your problem is not an isolated one, but typical of most bakkies. I drive a KZ with BFG's and mostly run 2 bar in front and 1.8 in the back, and it is still an uncomfortable ride to be honest (i'm surprised you are experiencing the same with the new GD6!). In my opinion, BFG's and Hil...

"Eish...as jy dink dis waar toy se waarde lê, dan is jy nog nie lank in die land nie. Sorry. New part fitters at best, totally overpriced to the extreme spares." Ek verstaan nie heeltemal wat jy probeer se nie, maar dit klink vir my of jy impliseer Toyota skroef hulle kliente op en ander f...

Dankie Louis...dit moet 'n baie spesiale hond wees wat jy het !

Hi Tertius,
Jammer jy is in Oudtshoorn, ek het 'n porta potty wat basies nog splinternuut is... het hom 8 jaar gelede gekoop en nog net 1 keer gebruik. Baie grend ene, ek dink die tenk vat amper 20 liter en hy is so hoog soos 'n huistroon! Nog in sy boks.....

Baie netjies Louis. Ek het self een vir my KZ laat maak so 3 jaar gelede en is heel gelukkig met hom. Wat het jou laat besluit om kantvensters te laat insit....en as ek mag vra, wat prys die dakrak min of meer deesdae?

Hi Rico, Ek ry Hilux (2.7 & KZ) sedert 2001 en as iemand my 100% kan waarborg dat Enige ander bakkie meer betroubaar gaan wees sal ek daarna kyk, anders bly ek net waar ek is! Ek is nie heeltemal seker hoe goed die Rangers se tweedehandse waarde is nie, maar ek vermoed sterk jy gaan oor 5 jaar h...

Mac, we find filling up at home the easiest, albeit your trip starts with some additional weight. At home we use a water dispenser which takes the 20 liter water bottles, and whenever we do long trips I fill the tank in my drawer system with 3 of these...currently costs R23 per bottle if we fill up ...

Hi Mervyn. I don't have a clue what is causing the rattling noise, but wonder why you are using 10 ppm or even 50 ppm diesel ? I have tried 10 ppm a while ago for 2 tanks, and the truck was not happy at all. With 50 she is slightly better but still sluggish ! For me 500 ppm works the best and the im...

Hi Jacobus. Baie welkom.... ek het 'n goeie vriend in die vervoerbedryf met 'n 2001 model en hy sleep gereeld swaar sleepwaens met onderdele Wes-Kaap toe.... syne staan op 460,000.... enjin nog nooit oopgemaak nie! Jy kan die advies oor die EGT meter gerus ter harte neem! Ek het self een op myne (20...

Chris, wat van 'n plek soos Kirkwood? As ek na die Vleisfees (dink dit is?) kyk wat jaarliks daar aangebied word lyk dit na 'n heel aangename dorpie om te beoek. En Addo is naby genoeg vir in- en uitry...

Louis, het jy dalk Northern Diesel se kontakbesonderhede? Miskien moet ek my trok se injectors ook laat toets. Hy stap nou aan na die 200,000 merk toe.....

Hi Rechardt,
How much do you want to pay for one? Might just consider selling mine as a do not do trails anymore. With spare wheel carrier plus a brand new spare centre hub for a second carrier. Make me an offer...

Ek het 2 plastiek jerrykanne op my Echo treiler se deure gedra en daai goed het altyd geweldig gemors as hulle vol diesel was! Veral as jy hobbelrige pad soos die Chobe, Savuti, Moremi stuk gery het - saam met die stof het dit in 'n vuil spul ontaard... Ek neem aan hierdie kanne moet kan 'asemhaal' ...

Pieter, as jy weer in die Centurion-omgewing gaan wees bel vir Thys Ellis by 0832716418 en hoor of hy kan help. Hy het my KZ so paar jaar gelede gedoen en ek was baie gelukkig met die werk.
Dink dit was so in die omgewing van R1400 gewees maar seker nou ietwat duurder.

Groete

Dit is seer sekerlik genoeg vir 'n bakkie - of dit genoeg is vir 'n V8 is ek nie nie so seker van nie...

Miskien wil ek so bietjie swartgallig wees op hierdie Dinsdagmiddag... Hoekom is Toyota en Isuzu so knaend besig om hulle nuwe modelle/engins onder bestaande modelle se specs uit te bring? Die advertensie verwys na 'die nuwe koning van vierwiel-aangedrewe voertuie' - laat Toyota voertuie soos die Am...

Die Fortuner en Cruiser is darem 2 totaal verskillende rygoed...! Ek sou se die Cruiser as jy beoog om nou en dan bietjie ernstige rywerk te doen, maar dan is daar bietjie te spandeer om hom geriefliker in te rig, wat 'n hele paar rand ekstra kan kos. Anders vat ek die Fortuner as dit die enigste 2 ...

Hi Andy - no the difflock indicator light only flashes on and off. And as I've said no sign of the ABS indicator light, which makes me think these two do not 'communicate' with each other! If I'm not mistaken the ABS unit sits inside the sidewall at the drivers side? Any other relays you're aware of...

Thanks Andy & Tumelo, As I mentioned we did take off and open the actuator, and there was'nt any sign of dirt inside... Andy your comment that the fault could originate from the ABS also makes good sence, so I'd guess that would be the place to start looking! I'll open the side panel at the foot...

Djislaaik kerels dis nou 'n smart canopy hierdie! My bek water nou behoorlik, en ek is sommer lus en skryf vir myself 'n polis!!

Ek neem aan Gomad het 'n website, wil sommer nou gaan uitvind hoeveel een my sal terugsit vir die KZ.

Hi Hoppy, I see you suggest that the injector tips be replaced after every 100 clicks! To be honest, I've never heard about this, is it a generally accepted thing to do on KZ's? Mine has done 163 000 clicks, how would I know if the tips need to be replaced, or should I take it for granted that they ...

Hi guys, I'm sure this topic may have been discussed on the forum before - if so please direct me to the thread... Anyhow, my difflock does not engage since I finished the Thabazimbi-leg of the Bridgestone Fundi-Challenge in 2010. Quite a wet and muddy day I must add, which saw me battling for almos...

Hello Philip, Sorry I'm replying so late but I was looking for some info on my KZ's aircon pump and came across your thread... The (inner)bearing on my truck's aircon pump needs to be replaced and I was wondering if you perhaps know somebody reliable(besides a dealer obviously) who does these kind o...

Economy wise not a bad alternative, but a rooftop tent would not look so cool on the Suzi!!!

Fortuner!!!!!
Bigger is not always better! Mechanics are the same both diesel and petrol, why would you spend R200g more on
a less economical vehicle? Mind over matter....

if the petrol price drops by 60c in June, I'll commit to drop 60kg in July!!!

George ek sal graag my eerlike opinie wil gee nadat ek 2x 2.7's en 1 KZ (nog steeds)ry, maar soos dit 'n goeie Vrystater betaam se ek maar: kom wat wil ek bly maar stil.....

My 2004 KZ is die derde IFS Hilux sedert 2001... Die eerste 2 was 2.7's, altwee privaat gekoop uit die eienaars se motorhuise uit, inruilwaardes betaal en altwee in uitstekende toestande! Maar selfs na 'n paar besoeke aan SAC kon hulle nie genoeg poeier maak om die Echo teen die lang bulte te sleep ...

Nommers 53 & 54 asb - sal more EFT doen en bewys deurstuur...
Goeie projek!
