Dis lekker sterk verf daai, sterkte met skuur werk. Dis n eentonigge werk daai!

Lyk goed! Watse primer gebruik jy Rodger?

The most important thing to remember with a high lift jack is that it is a piece of recovery equipment and does not replace the OEM jack you are suppose to use to change the wheels. If you are familiar with the High Lift then you can change a tyre BUT you need to know the risks. I would not even dre...

Jose I would not be messing around with systems as they were designed. That is when you start adding complexity and additional problems that you may never have foreseen. The cooling system as designed works well if everything on it is in spec. The easiest, most reliable and proven approach is simpl...

Dankie Tertius!

All I can get you is his name and surname. he is no longer active in the club. Only joined for info to do his project. Wynn Dedwith and believe he was in the Parys area, maybe you can track him down Picture of a 60 dash with Tuna cluster https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/cKhR6xii-nRqkliKQJP5BkHtiri1...

............ If any one know of someone who have done the 3.0D4D (1KD) into an other shape than a vigo (D4D shape). Please comment and let us know please. Some time ago there was a guy on the cruiser forum who build a D4D into a 60 series cruiser. A fortuner was the donor vehicle. They used the com...

Regarding your viscous. Not sure what it looks like but if you can split the unit then you can add a tube of silicone oil available from the agents only. Shout if you want a part number for the oil. its rather expensive but works 100% to get a viscous back to original functioning standard. Dont do s...

Lyk baie mooi! Wag in spanning vir die res van die prentjies

Ja maar nou werk die alarm glad nie meer nie!

Knuppel

If you smell the exhaust fumes does it maybe give you the suspicion that it may have petrol in the mix. If so then the diesel pump most probably has an electrical problem. Then start by checking the plug wires on the back of the diesel pump. Also check all the earth wires in the engine compartment o...

Knuppel

Robert, your suspension lifted by 75mm! Therfore you MUST at least lift the lspv bracket by 75 mm. At the moment you are still short of 65mm. Do my little test, you only need to remove ONE bolt and have a cable tie handy! Go and read hear, just found it right here through a google search http://www....

Knuppel

The LSPV is most likely the problem! You brake.......nothing happens at the back...... the front starts to lock because you are putting plenty pressure..........ABS kicks in.........the back did nothing so because of ABS kicking in the front now also does nothing!!!!!!! Simple test to check if it is...

Spacers wat breek is nie reg gemaak of vas gemaak nie!!!. Omdat daar n nuwe stel studs bygevoeg word gebruik die manne pirate of aftermarket studs wat nie die ekstra kragte kan hanteer nie. As jy spacers gebruik maak seker dat die nuwe studs dieselfde as die OEM op jou voertuig is! Hanteer ook die s...

Petrol. Dra maar surgical handskoene volgende keer.

A car without turbo has a different compression ratio than one fitted with a turbo. how are you managing this? Is this unit not just a supercharger working of an electric motor rather than a turbo charger? Is the electric motor a variable speed driving unit or fixed speed? Old school engines requir...

Hy kom mooi aan. Ek is so bly my bakkie se dak was nog reg, anders moes ek ook deur die pret gegaan het!

Knuppel

Goeie vordering!

The rev counter in my Hilux also has a problem and is sometimes dead and will only come to life after about 20 km on a cold morning. I run a lexus motor with a conversion chip to make the old rev counter work. That chip works perfectly so I suspect the instrument has a problem. It happens very spora...

Midas has three types:

Lapstrap

Like I said before, 518k km and not removed once until the injector failed.

Knuppel

We have a Hilux d4d 2.5 as a workshop vehicle. 518000 km before the first injector failed. All on standard filters and no cleaners.

Knuppel

I would run Sir!. money can be paid into YOUR bank account. Dont let your cruiser go until you have it in your bank and confirmed that its not going to disappear! There is no need for you to go through PayFAst!!!! http://www.netwerk24.com/ZA/Tygerburger/Nuus/quick-scam-tried-on-payfast-20160126-2&qu...

Knuppel

You need to replace the shaft, other wise the bearings/wheel falls off, been there, done that

Knuppel

Sorry i was refering to the rear diff, was not paying attention!

Knuppel

It actually all depends on the type of diff you have. On a full floating axle you can pull the side shaft and if you have a diff lock you can keep on driving if you plug the hole to keep the oil in the diff. The bearings remain in place and are not depend on the side shaft being there. On a semi flo...

Knuppel

Dont believe it will be injectors, could also be the could start setting from the ECU overreacting a bit and then retarding timing too much causing the diesel knock/clatter/rattle. Could also be the ambient temperature sensor that has gone haywire, situated in the intake pipe. Disconnect it and see ...

Knuppel

That is terribly dirty, beyond the norm of where it should get to so I presume there will not be many that look like that. Could you in any way determine what the gunk was?

Knuppel

The rattle you hear is a diesel knock from having incorrect injector timing. What the cause is is difficult for me to say. Have had three vehicle with the same symptoms in the past. Most likely a problem with the injector pump. There could also be a wiring problem as the wires that go onto the injec...

Knuppel

I have found that measuring the pressure may not give you the correct info. A buggered pump can give the right pressure but it may not be possible to maintain that pressure under flow. Meaning if you close the pump off then pressure within spec but as soon as you put your foot down and demand the sa...

I have extractor fans in my lounge and then suck hot air from there and blow it to the bedrooms via 110mm sewage pipe. Just takes the cold nip from the bedroom before you go to bed.

Knuppel

I will help him there also

Knuppel

I did the same. Very happy with the conversion to diff lock.

Knuppel

You cannot fit the centre portion of the Gearmax difflock diff to an Import diff!

Knuppel

Dankie, dis n hele bietjie swaarder!

Knuppel

Inside the cab somewhere. sounds like behind the cluster in my bakkie

Knuppel

Learning from you! thanks

Christo, how heavy are those V8's compared to the lexus? At some or other time I may want to stick a V8 in my Cruiser and your mounting design has got me thinking.

Knuppel

Those engine mounts, aren't they going to twist the chassis over time?

Knuppel

Between R6k and R8k for second hand depending condition. Then ad R3k to recondition with new bearings drums and linings

Knuppel

I'm am not sure how the Hilux's fuel system works but on a petrol cruiser there is a resistor that halves the voltage to the fuel pump on lower engine rpm but will supply full voltage(and full pressure) at higher rpm. This is a fuel pump saving mechanism but they do sometimes give trouble.

Knuppel

Those are not items you chase out from behind every 2nd bush! Why are you looking for lockers, or do you want to retrofit? Front and back? Rather source a complete axle with lockers already fitted and then also look for a free floating rear axle. One with disc brakes included. Next problem would be ...

Dont think this was a recovery issue, sad to say.

Sommer nou a bit crazy that you have to unscrew the kick panel just to get to it!

Mine are just above the kick panel so dont have to remove but still a real crappy place for fuses

Yes, in the kick panel RHS below the dash.

Knuppel

Agree with that.

Knuppel

Looks good and heavey duty, now to make sure the inside of where it was repaired gets treated to not rust again

Knuppel

True, I can still get my fingers in between mine but yes its tight but not to the point that it will touch. But why not hey, with every build one gets that bit more organised.

Chris, looking good!

Why the 40mm move on the steering box if I may ask?

Ok some feedback: I have travelled 10 000 km now since first startup.......according to the odometer I have done 110 000km :twisted: Evidence that someone had his fingers in there at some time to facilitate a haircut, but i knew that when i bought the vehicle. No ways a 29 year old SFA with the amou...

catalytic converters, located in the exhaust pipe. Or it could also be this

Knuppel

The wires go into the cab in the middle of the tunnel in front of the gear lever, so badically under the radio they go through the floor.

Knuppel

Sorry, dont have dimensions..............BUT The Biggest mistake you made was to sandpaper those pistons.They are covered with a special coating that prevents them from corroding. When aluminium corrodes it expands. That is why they seized. You will see they come in all sorts of zooty colours, not t...

Daar is n cleaner vir die MAF - Toyota het laas my Hilux se MAF skoon gespuit met n "kannetjie" ... weet ongelukkig nie wat in daai kannetjie was nie. Hoor graag as iemand weet.

Ek gebruik gewone electro contact cleaner.
