Dippies that is amazing diesel consumption. I get average around 9.5, 9.6 km/l on the Highway and much less in town. 2018 2.8 Auto 4x4. Maybe its the BF tyres, lift and Canopy making it heavier. BUT it gives me much the same as my previous 3.0D4D, but with plenty more power and comforts, so I’m not ...

Ek weet die is n ou draad, maar hoe het daardie rivnuts gehou in die kalahari? Ek wil ook n Roof rack op die trokkie sit maar eks bekommerd oor rivnuts, veral as ek gereeld die rak wil afhaal en terug sit. Jammer, ek sien nou eers jou vraag. Ek is nog heeltemal tevrede met die Rivnuts. Na duisende ...

You just need to program it again after the battery change.

What you do is..

Open window completely

Then in one motion close the window, but do not release the "close" switch, keep holding it for about 5 seconds afterwards.

Should then be working again

Hi John I can confirm my November 2011 (2012 face-lift) model Xtra-Cab, came with Diff-Lock. My clutch shudder every now and again when pulling away. I have a steep driveway, then I "burn" it a bit going up. That sorts it out for a couple of weeks. Probably not the best thing to do, but I'...

Stem saam met die manne hier bo. Vandat Tapatalk nie meer werk nie kom ek maar selde op die forum. Die funksies en manier wat die forum gewys word op Tapatalk bly net tops vir gebruik op n klein skerm soos op n smartphone.

Baie dankie Boet! PM gestuur.

Dankie Pote, ek stuur die link aan! Dalk is hy gelukkig!

Eish, sterkte aan Johan, en dis blerrie nice om te sien jy probeer help. Hoop julle kom reg met die benodigde parte. Partykeer het mens net so bietjie "goodwill" nodig om weer lig aan die einde van die tonnel te sien, en jou plan is dalk net die regte ding. Sterkte! Baie dankie. Ons help ...

Today I want to ask for assistance for a fellow Club Member and friend. Bit of background - Johan (Monsterlux) was retrenched in the beginning of this year and has been unable to find another job in his line of work (Mechanical Draughtsman). Currently he is doing semi-skilled labour to keep a roof o...

Just some feedback.

I contacted Redisa and they have arranged to have someone collect all the tyres from us at no cost.

In total there were 41, so it saves me driving them up and down to dispose of them!

Thanks again Sebata!

DerikB

Thank you Sebata! I sent a mail to them.

I am cleaning up the grounds of a closed pre-primary school and I have around 30 tyres, from motorbike to tractor size that I need to get rid of. It was used to construct obstacles for the kids to play on. Our dumping site does not allow tyres to be taken there. How do I get rid of them? I doubt tha...

Hi Buks. Ongelukkig gaan ek en my vrou Van Zyls eers 'n paar weke na jou weer aanpak. 2012 het ons hom alleen gery, toe nog met my Pajero padskraper.

Apologies - Wrong section. Can one of the mods please move it to The Workshop.

Thanks!

Morning guys. I have a question - it's been bothering me since I got the bakkie... Sometime, at irregular intervals, the clutch would suddenly starts to bite when 3/4 released. It's like that last few MM's before it completely engage it would bite and then you can feel the whole drive train shudder....

Time to give a bit of an update... I've now done just over 10 000km with my Hilux, and I am enjoying every moment! :yahoo: At the recent 120 000 km service (R5000!), I had the Injectors tested and they are all still in an excellent condition. (#1 = -0.2, #2 = 0.1, #3 = 0.3, #4 = 0.1). Range is betwe...

Thaba Tsheka is definately the more scenic route but prepare yourself for atleast an 8 hour trip without many stops. At one stage it took us 2 hours on 40km because of the condition of the road. This is between Katse & Sani. If coming from Katse towards Sani, St James mission is a good place to ...

Hi Barend

It's a 80w Solarworld panel. 950 x 680mm. Weight around 8kg.

DerikB

Hi George Yeah I'm happy with the outcome, the riv nuts we used expanded very well and I'm not concerned about them breaking off. No rattles or anything that I should be worried about. I won't load a RTT or Jerrycan's onto it with the rivnuts, but I only use it for the Solar Panel - so I believe in ...

DerikB

Ja, goeie tip. Ek het ongelukkig deur hom geboor, nou werk die agterste courtesy light nie meer nie. Maar ek sal dit patch.

Volgende DIY job gaan wees om n "skeleton" in die Beekman Fibreglass canopy te bou om hom genoeg te versterk om my RTT te dra!

Thanks for all the advice!

DerikB

All that was left was to align the track and to tighten the bolts!

Then we lifted my newly modified roofrack on, installed the tracks and tightened everything up!

Nice lift! Maybe wait and see how much it drops, for every 10mm you can add a 5mm spacer to the top of the strut.

Cornel what is your distance measurement from the bottom of the rim to the bottom of the fender? Mine is sitting on 770mm with a 30mm 4x4direct spacer and a 5mm toyota? Spacer. I added the 5mm spacer to compensate for the onca bullbar that I estimate around 50-60kg. I read on the forum you should no...

Thank you Rod, this info will go a long way to help me. Kobus I will buy new nyloc nuts and add a bit of locktite with plenty of silicone, don't want to disassemble the roof too often :shock: I'm going to have to leave this job for next weekend - We are planning a trip to Buffalo Gorge this weekend ...

DerikB

Thanks Rod! Thats the info I want!! Looking at the pic below, where did you put the insertion rubber? Did you remove the piece of the standard plastic strip where the tracks go over, or did you drill through it?

Hi Wayne, I did the Pajero myself but there were instructions from Frontrunner. So I do have an idea what I am letting myself into!! [FLUSHED FACE] The main reason I do these type of jobs myself is that I believe I take better care and am more careful than a fitment center. How will I know that the ...

DerikB

Thanks Roderick. I found the video and am sure it will help.

I modified my old Pajero's roofrack to a size that will look good on the XtraCab. Now just to gather the courage to fit the rails!!

DerikB

Ok, so for the real question. Prices anyone? In the area around gauteng, east rand, mphumalanga. Is there anyone you guys would recommend, or can I do this at my local exhaust shop no hassles? Considering quality and workmanship, does anyone know of special requirements for these exhaust systems, I...

DerikB

I've got Frontrunner tracks I want to mount on my Xtracab roof, anyone know if there are pre-drilled holes or do I need to drill them?

Something I need to look out for when doing it?
