Johan Kriel

Ek loer net so af en toe hier, het te min issues met die hilux.

Hoop julle geniet dit. Ek glo nie ek sal dit maak nie.

Johan Kriel

Kyk maar na die DC's in daardie model. Baie wys die tekens, van te veel gewig te ver agter.

Johan Kriel

OT, but we did a organized Namib and dune trip last week. From the 15 vehicles, 5 were cruisers, 1 mazda and the rest were hiluxe's and Tunas, mostly 3 D4D. Only 1 Fortuner was a 4l only. The 3l D4D did as good the 4l. I think apart from maybe the cruiser bakkie, the DC hilux or the Fortuner will be...

If you go to 'menu' and then 'routes' you should be able to name and store the diff routes, but its a function of T4A also. The earlier versions of T4A could not do it.

Johan Kriel

Daar is n groot verskil tussen 'mag' en 'kan'.

Mag = 1500kg braked. Ky kan meer sleep maklik.

Johan Kriel

I also prefer the .270, self loaded, I shoot with a Steyr Manlicher and Seize telescope. Only the catridge holder is rubbish .

Before I liked the 7mm Remington magnum but its getting very expensive.

Johan Kriel

270 is good hunting rifle on shorter <250m distance, but don't try to shoot through bushes. Also it must be a good shot that kills 3006 is a bit for larger game. .308 also better. I shot many kudu with a mini ruger, but it must be a good shot that kills. Best is 303, if you hold the rifle on its sid...

Johan Kriel

Net nuurskierig. Die safari shocks is seker heelwat goedkoper as the OME's, maar sou the OME shocks nie n beter opsie wees, en sou OME shocks met die oorspronklike vere nie ook n opsie wees tov ry gerief/vrag ens. My idee is om die shocks op my 2.5 te vervang met iets beter, en die vere to hou, want...

Johan Kriel

Ek ry 4.2 NA , 4.2Td en n 2.5 d4d. Het n 3.0d4d gehad. Ek ry die duine eerder met die 4.2 NA met marie biscuits, voor die 2.5d4d met vet takkies. :D: Nee wat die 2.5 is darem te lui vir die duine, maar hy sal dalk beter doen as n 2.4 Nissan. :lol: Die 3.0l doen baie goed, en die 4.0 lux beter as die...

As jy n 3.0l d4d het ja, 2.5 los hom maar by die huis, jy gaan net jou self frustreur.

As jy met Uri of een van die gidse inskryf, stuur hulle n lys van goed wat jy moet voorsien en wat hulle gee.

Genoeg water, diesel en bier en n tent en daar gaan jy.

Johan Kriel

Ek hom hom maar tussen 2 en 3000 rpm, om hom lewendig te hou.

Johan Kriel

Groter exhaust maak sin, want sy performance vol vrag is nie swakker nie.

Beplan vooruit......

, ja, maar daar is nie genoeg plek tussen Whk en Okahandja nie.

Johan Kriel

I have done 30 k km on my 2.5 srx (new) 4x4 since March this year, but getting sometimes irritated with the turbo lack, even with the pull away one have to ref the engine to +1500rpm and I don't get hypnotized :boredom: :disgust: by trucks in front of me, but to overtake a truck with oncoming traffi...

Johan Kriel

Dit het ook n Danfos kompressor, wat die beter een is. Ek ook een van daai 'specials' gekoop, by Makro, maar dit is maar sy prys. Die ander make kos ook maar daar rond, behalwe die Engel is n bietjie duurder.

Johan Kriel

Ek ry nou n 2.5 SRX 4x4 na n 3l D4d DC. Die 3l kan jy net voet neersit en n lorry verby gaan, die 2.5 moet jy eers beplan en die lorry verras anders kom jy nie verby nie.... darem nie so reg nie. Hy is darem baie beter as n 2.5 Isuzu, waar net jou gesigs uitdrukking en die bakkie se dreuning verande...

Johan Kriel

Soos gese n goeie teerpad 4x4

Johan Kriel

Last week-end on a 4x4 trip I used a 50 W VHF radio from the lighter plug. It works, but each time you switch off the engine the radio also is dead, and each time you have to reselect the channel.

Johan Kriel

Agree 150k km is maybe a bit high, but if you do only 10k km a year then maybe not an issue.

For short distances traveling the 2.5 is sufficient, but if you travel a lot, then the 3.0 l make more sense for over-taking etc.

Johan Kriel

johan it's interesting you should mention they struglle in the sand. The 3.0 l have enough torque and Kw for the sand. Only the 2.5 is a bit under power, so is the 4.2d LC, but the 4.2td LC is not bad again. Petrol engines have a longer rev range, so it does better as you change gears less. Thats w...

Johan Kriel

I struggled for 80k km with the 3.0 l's clutch, only after a modification the master cylinder it was sorted. Even a new clutch kit was fitted without success. Now it's the trouble starts with the 2.5 SRX 4x4. :shock: Only 4000km on the clock. From the start I heard a 'metal kluk' sound in the gearbo...

I used many diff makes over the years, on my farm vehicle, even 'skerpioene' :D: ; road holding and traction I can't comment on of course there, but the tyre that give me the least punctures were Firestone ATX and Continental RVT 280, and therefor my the reason for using BFG's, 3 ply side walls.

Johan Kriel

The KM2 is not more noisy that the AT, my experience, but they say the AT chip more than the mud one, and the mud is slightly more expensive again. I have both on my vehicles, but leaning towards the mud tyre for off road, throw less stones.

Johan Kriel

Pieter, ja goeie voorbeeld van wat ek probeer se. Dit is so dat n luiperd sy gebied beskerm, behalwe wyfies oorvleuel met die mannetjies s'n van tyd tot tyd. Hy sal dis ander mannetjies uit hou, maar ek twyfel of hy jakkalse effektief uit sy gebied weg hou. Dit is so dat jakkalse nie naby sy prooi k...

Johan Kriel

Andy, yes agree, as long as the farmer is allowed to monitor and manage that balance in his particular situation, and if experts assist, even better, but to expect that the farmer carry all the costs, for other peoples dreams/passion is a bit unfair. Leopard numbers increased tremendous the last cou...

+- 1970 not sure, Corona 1900 mk II, man that was a nice car for a student, fancy radio which looked for the stations by by itselves, but usely didn't find any as most stations were on short wave, no aircon, from my mother.

Ek praat van RSA, ek weet ons is julle gewoonlik voor

Johan Kriel

The local Toy dealers says its coming later this year. They sort of announce it that prospective buyers don't go to other makes.

Johan Kriel

Al voordeel van die nuwe hilux is dat jy hom kan op ry, en nie hy vir jou soos die vorige modelle.

Nuwes ry n bietjie beter darem.

Johan Kriel

265/75 X 15 werk 100% en jou speedo is omtrent reg

Johan Kriel

Bandjies is baie nou(205) ma verder het die hilux my baie beindruk lekke ry.

Ek het daai bandjies by Toy gelos en BGF 245/70 op die std rims gesit. Hulle het vir my R900 per band gekry by Continental

Johan Kriel

I just bought one, so can't comment on durability. Fuel usage 9 to 11km/l, depends We have 3 srx's 2x4 on site and they doing fine. In heavy sand the hi-range seems to be useless, but if you can let the turbo run it might be fine in 1st gear. The shocks doesn't coupe with cattle spoors in a sand tra...

Johan Kriel

I am a bit late here , but I received my 2.5 SC 4x4 last week. Still trying to get use to it after the 3.0d4d dc 2x4. But I think I will get use to it, not to sluggish if the turbo runs. :D: The turbo lack is much more noticeable than the 3.0 d4d. We have 3 x 2.5 SC 2x4's on site and their average f...

Johan Kriel

Great to see people enjoy our part of the world.

Johan Kriel

Hi Johan, what I did before taking dlivery of OOOODS Tuna, I told Toy to take the road tyres off and fit A/T's They have good contact's with some of the fitment centre's and gave me a credit for the road tyres and we just had to pay in the difference of the A/T tyre's! never thought of that. Will do.

Johan Kriel

To the 2.5 D4D experts :) here, plse I am considering buying a 2,5 SC 4x4, in fact I ordered one already. Will use the bakke for work now and then on the farm after 2 years or so. But I will defenitly replace those super narrow tyres with may be BFG AT's but which size, 245/70 or 245/75?, and what s...

Johan Kriel

The modification has proved itselves, still no slipping yet.

Johan Kriel

I had to eventually replaced the D840's at 112 000km with D694's. Quit happy so far, it's a huge improvement on gravel also.

Johan Kriel

The problem was not sorted. It appears to be that the free play on the clutch are being taken up by the expansion of the brake fluid, the reason for the built up, and then the slipping. Toy made a modification by a putting shim at the back of the master cylinder. This problem appears to be not an un...

Johan Kriel

Last week I took it to the third dealer for advice. They adjusted the clutch and solved the problem :clap: , after all parts were replaced by the first two. I think there was a problem right in the beginning it seems, but looks like if not all Toy mechanics understand the working of it. The guy that...

Johan Kriel

I bought the 3.0D4D DC 2x4 end 2007, and within the first week I took it back 'for the clutch adjuting itself'. It continusly engaged at different hights. They replaced the actuator. Two/three months later the replaced the master, actuator and sleeve cylinder as the same problems starts. Two months ...

I need to replace those bridgestone HT840's soon, but considering a lager tyre and other type. Those 255/70x15 looks a bit lost in those wheel arches, and the speedo is about 7% optimistic. Which one will be beter? The 265/70X15 or 265/75x15 / 31' tyre. I am looking at Bridgestone 694, although I st...

Johan Kriel

Thanks guys, I feels already welcome, :thumbup: No, my hilux's engine still sounds 'hankie dories'. I struggled only with the clutch right from the start. Fist they replaced the actuator, then the master cylinder, and then the whole lot again at about 20k km. Last month the clutch started slipping, ...

Op die spoor van D4D injectors het ek hier by the Hilux Forum uitgekom. Ek was net nuuskierig, en moet nog eers die website leer ook. Na n paar Isuzu's, 2x4 en 4x4's het ek my eerste hilux gekoop. n 3.0D4D 2x4 DC, en geniet nogal die krag en laai vermoe. My eerste Toyota is n Landcruiser en so ook w...
