Hilux 4x4 Forum

When speaking to the local stealers, they guy mentioned that they have some in stock as the hilux's get done often (I have a tuna and was asking about my clutch). That said, this is an assumption....

As far as I know they're the same. :)

I would have thought two people could have lifted one

What model hilux was that?


"SRX" kind without the flares,
2.5 D-4D

Thats a tad heavier than what I was expecting

Speaking of.... What does a S/C bin weigh? And cost for that matter :alvarin: Wayne, PM First Geer (Tony). He weighed his with & without the Loadbin, so would know what it weighs, when he started building his CAMPER. I think that it was in the region of about 450 kgs :shock2: That heavy :shock2...

So.... so far I have 5 Fortuner rims :)

Car must be off. You can also try remove battery and reconnect. Chances are you've blown a fuse... check all the tail/stop/turn fuses and maybe the abs one as well. There's a fuse box under the bonnet and another one under the steering wheel :) gl mate!

Hi All, The trailer that must track the fort. I am just short of taking my wheels off and measuring myself. Does anyone know what the hub to hub measurement is on a fortuner? I assume this is the same as on a hilux?? Looking to price axles but need that measurement (Where the rim bolts on to where t...

now where do I get me one of those

Would be easier too with the wiring and such but finding one might be hard....

Hi Guys n Gals!

Can anyone help me with where to get a Hilux vigo (05+) single cab's loadbin in the Western Cape?

Thanks all.

The cheap parts hahaha!!

Id love to get ideas on how to close up the front....

One rarely replace the flywheel. Just scheme. Yes the seals buy them from Toyota, not bad pricing for the seals. Awesome thank you! And I should tell them to not do the fork? The clutch I do not have an issue with, I just dont want this pressure plate "collapsing" and becoming hard again ...

I been using the LUK kits a lot, no come backs nothing. Sachs is good kits. Just stay away of the Repco or cheaper ones you get. Many times I bought clutches from Toyota it was either a LUK or Sachs marked product in any case in a Toyota branded box. Aisan is the preferred part OE of Toyota but you...

Hi All, So here it goes.... The clutch in my tuna (180kkm) has been getting harder and harder over time. I don't notice it but other drivers do. Now the release bearing has started whining when foot is on the clutch pedal 5kkm ago. The local dealer says that the bearing should be OK for a while long...

I also thought of doing it, put an alu canopy on it with roofrack and a drawer system in the back. But to get one costs a bit unless you have a contact, and the load bit itself weighs quite a bit. But yes I do like the idea. :thumbup: Speaking of.... What does a S/C bin weigh? And cost for that mat...

Exactly my thought they just must not try put diesel in there I carry enough fuel in my Fort not to need more, can always carry jerry cans in the bak if needed

Hi All,

Where does one mount the relay for a spotlight or lightbar?

I am fitting a switch for on / off but I'd like to know where one mounts the replay for this in a vigo / fortuner :)

Thanks :)

Fit a long range fuel tank and an electric pump to it too... :thumbup: Alu canopy and another RTT.... :mrgreen: Yes :thumbup: But I will use the X cab loadbin and not the Doublecab one :mrgreen: I'mm thinking of using a single cab bin. Could add on stock rails and use it when hunting, or a canopy a...

It doesn't work with enertia only, it needs a knock, you can set it off with a hammer if you hit close to the sensor with no inertia involved. That's why the more solid bumper may set it off sooner, the plastic bumper gives way with no resistance causing no inertia or knock. So what would you fit? ...

He took his punch and hammer, and the first hit next to gearlever, made the airbags pop

BANG! SUPRISE!!!!!! Hehehehe that must have hurt....and been quite the spectacle :D

Hi Guys....

One day.... and I say one day.... I'd like to build a hilux trailer for my fortuner

What can I say, I' a tad mad.....

I think it would go well. Could put in a water tank and carry the spare underneath...

best of both world's IMHO :D

What you all think? Long term plan OFC.

Now that does look good :D pity it doesn't protect the lights :'(

Thanks for the reply hoppy. As mentioned eariler, the same applies. I have used the analogy of bumping the wall in a garage. I have got hold of someone from the insurer to see what they say. They all work, they are all "affordable" I want the best of all world's. I know arb and I know the ...

Thank you. I appreciate the help on this! What confuses me more is that the arbs for example do not have high lift jack Points at std. So I can assume this is why? Ive heard of an incident of hitting the front of a cow and no damage had. So id like your advice in what you would do to an 8 yr old for...

Strong and airbag compatible does not go hand in hand. In order to be airbag compatible it must be weak, otherwise it wont crumple. Ok, so what happens if you have a non-compatible bar and you have an accident and someone gets hurt... Thats a worry for me... When you say weak, I'm sure that they ar...

Net nie n kilber nie jy gaan jou bakie wil verkoop as jy sien hoe swak kwaliteit dit is Thanks for that - I will be careful. What it is coming down to now is this: I am looking for a commercial bar that has airbag compatibility and can be sommer bought and does not need to cut up the bumper for fil...

Hi All, I am now so confused with the purchase of a new bullbar as bumper replacement. I see that there are a lot of ARB bars out there and there are a lot of posts about how ARB are the best and strongest and la la la. What would you guys recommend? Some of my concerns are aribag compatibility, how...

FYI, have a look at this light bar:

http://www.takealot.com/one-led-126w-4- ... ID34170114" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It's 42 * 3W(309lm) led's which is 12978 raw lumens. It's something that I am looking at getting
