Hilux 4x4 Forum

I believe ''samples'' of mankinds behaviour/music/images etc have been put on various satellites and space craft in the hope that if any INTELLIGENT life form finds them, they will understand us a little better!!!I sincerely hope this clip is not on any of them

Thnx mars,bakkie a 2010 model,used it today and the light is off???

Airbag/srs light showing,cant see any loose connections,any advice

martin,no you cant import to sa from moz(not that I know of)hard to find a better towing/overlanding vehicle better than 80/100 series cruisers,luv my d4 but not in the same league(probably get stoned for this :angel: )had 80 gx/vx's prior to the lux and changed to the dble cab for other reasons.tru...

martin,buy yourself an 80/100 series vx in moz(jap import+15/30k US)you wil never look back

bakkie back from service,pulling well ,turned out to be the fuel filter after all(thought that replacing filter every 10000km would have prevented this!)must have put in contaminated fuel somewhere :? is there only one filter on the fuel line or is there another hiden somewhere??

ant,i change the fuel filter my self every 10k as the dealers wont,only use 50ppm fuel,do you think it could still be the filter

my d4d dble cab loses power under load(steep up hills/light towing etc)2nd gear needed to get up some hills.similar bakkies towing huge boats fly past!!have complained about the problem (toyota services) and have been told all is ok.the vehicle is now due for 90k service,i have an extended service p...

What is the difference between airbag approved bars and others.i have an ARB bullbar(approved for airbags)and it vibrates (offroad)a lot.keep having to adjust the spots!!!had a closer look at the design and the main bar seems to be rubber mounted independantly and not directly to the chassis(might b...

why then does toy sa sell them as accessories??????would like to know if all vehicles fitted with them have the same problem?Is this maybe why the newer models have the bigger air intake

and THEN there is the holy grail of calibres...........the 7x57 mauser

I like,bit of 200 series/new rav/tundra BUT ,and its a pity ,we will never see em here(as we never saw the older model surfs/4runners here )WHY WHY WHY???Who at toyo sa chooses what models to import :wth:

thanks rudi,how many litres is the exel tank,price?

looking to fit a long range tank to my lux,any advise on the best product available,don't want any filling/airlock problems

Come now guys,a whole panel of judges cant all be wrong!!I love my d4d lux,BUT,maybe the current model is getting a bit"long in the tooth",placed 8th surprised me!!what changes need to be made to the new model for it to once again reign supreme??what mods can be made to the current model t...

Amarok,then 3.2 ranger then the BT mazda,,,,,isuzu kb 4th!! our 3.0 d4d only managed 8th place!!!Seems to show how the current hilux is been left behind(can toyota afford to wait untill 2015 with the new models)?

Does any body know if the michelins that the luxes used in the dakar are available here,seeing that michelin owns BFG ,these are probably a similar tyre and could be something to look at

Just as frightening are the human population stats,we(mankind) gobble up everything we lay eyes uppon(pacman like!!)How to avoid our own destruction is the question? Won't just be pictures of lions we'll show our (grand)kids !!

bumper section looks great,but something just not lekker with the upper section(too high maybe,bend work does match the "modern"lines of bumper)my 2 cents

is there a website for more info

what engines pierre?

Not saying that he doesn't deserve what he's getting ,but the irony of it all is what he actually did for cycling and for cancer research.kind of double edged if you get my drift,cant believe one person alone could run a '' doping ''syndicate,don't think all is dead and buried yet,my 2 cents

what does toyota have to come up with in order to regain "king"status,ford certainly got it right with the new ranger. do you think a totally new bakkie will appear for 2014?possibly with tacoma/tundra genes?What engines might be used?6 speed box?If toyo remapped their ecu's to what afterm...

apparantly most of the teams are using michelin latitude C tyres this year(mini,toy,gwm)bfg's are a subsidary of michelin,wonder if they are similar?

any info on those michelins used,wonder how they compare to the bfg"s some of the other teams use?

is the intercooler of the pre2012 3.d4d the same as that of the 2012 models?is the air scoop bigger for tech reasons or merely cosmetic?

Herman,i think this is what i'm after!!have you installed one?cost/availablity??

thanks guys,jaco i cant believe that unit only costs 2 k ,(an entry level hand held gps goes for that!!!)maybe i'm a sceptical for nothing.does the unit simply plug in/can you download SA maps/t4a maps etc?piet,all i really want is to be able to use a flashdrive and not cart cd's arround ,have a gps...

Does anyone know if it is possible to fit a usb port to the factory fitted 2010 raider audio system or must the system be replaced?If replaced can the 2012 system be simply plugged in?Have heard that the gps functions on these units aren't fully functional yet.Has anyone fitted something else that c...

thanks piet,so do you recommend ''sealing" the tailgate as well as fitting the vents.just received vents from our local trailer guys,now in two minds to install or not!!!!! :problem: :problem: :problem:

just fitted a gerbers alu canopy to the lux,dust coming inside is incredible,see pieter/mark you have installed the 76mm diffusers to your canopies,any negatives i should know about?are they rain/water proof,do you just silicon them in?must the louvres face forward for air intake?anyone else tried o...

Thnx juba,any filling problems?price?

looking to fit a longrange fuel tank to the d/c .various makes/sizes available,(looking for +-70 lt,s/steel),dont want to drop the level of the spare wheel if possible and dont want to spend more money on replacement bumper with a spare wheel carrier right now.any suggestions

hi all,full circle,or more aptly"die wiel draai",started out with hilux 2200 d/c years ago,then a defender,an 80 gx to an 80 vx,and now have just got a 3.l d4d d/c and loving it
