Progress. The following items have been fitted since my last note. Numbering will also continue from previous post.
4: EFS Suspension.
5: Air helpers.
6: Long Range Tank

The new wheels have also been fitted on the rear.

That makes it 6 out of a total of 30 items completed.

I will post a new update tomorrow morning my time - which would be just after midnight your time.

Is this stuff the VPS ???

Oja, following with interest . . . .

Hennie2 · Post by **Hennie2** » Wed Apr 10, 2013 2:06 am

Hi JJ. Ja dit is. Ek het dit op my Prado ook gehad en dit is baie goed. Iemand het in 'n parkeer garage teen my vas gery en net die VPS beskadig. Ek ry nie meer daar sonder nie.

Hennie, ek het n 2de handse stel Airhelper springs vir n IFS, wat het jy betaal vir daai?

Hennie2 · Post by **Hennie2** » Wed Apr 10, 2013 11:20 am

Hi Werner. Ek weet nie wat die airhelpers op hulle eie is nie. Die prys wat ek het is vir die air suspension met 'n compressor, lug tank, hose kit, bellows en dual control unit. Ek stuur vir jou 'n PM.

Looking very good so far.

Hennie2 · Post by **Hennie2** » Tue Apr 16, 2013 1:56 am

Getting close to the end of phase one.
13. MAXE lights - 130W
14. Valve point to inflate spare

The picures show the Air Helpers at 5 Bar pressure - it has a capacity of 7 Bar.

Tomorrow the vehicle is going in for rubberising. When that is done phase 2 will start.

Willem01 · Post by **Willem01** » Tue Apr 16, 2013 4:06 am

n uitskuif leër onder die deur is seker deel van fase 2 vir die stofpoeper......

die bakkie lyk nou al spoggerig

Hennie2 · Post by **Hennie2** » Tue Apr 16, 2013 4:11 am

Dankie Willem. Ek sal maar platforms bou in my motorhuis - soos mens op ,n stasie kry.
Ek sal hom 7 Bar pomp elke keer as my skoonma saam ry - sy is net omtrent 5 voet.

BenRich · Post by **BenRich** » Tue Apr 16, 2013 7:47 am

Hennie....ek raak nou erg jaloers. Daai Lux van jou lyk uitstekend. Kan nie wag om die eindproduk te sien nie.

Hennie2 · Post by **Hennie2** » Tue Apr 16, 2013 10:15 am

Hi Bennie. Dankie. Hy gaan more vir rubberising en dan terug na Toyota. Hulle gaan hom dan nog so 3 tot 4 dae hou om hulle deel van die ekstras te doen - ek sal die items lys sodra dit in is. Dan gaan die bakkie terug na die fitment ouens in Sasolburg om die res van die goed op te sit. Wanneer hulle dan met die bakkie klaar is sal daar so 5 items uitstaande wees wat sommer gou afgehandel sal word. Ek is eers 17 Mei terug by die huis so ek sal dan eers die bakkie sien.

Hennie2 · Post by **Hennie2** » Tue Apr 16, 2013 10:31 am

Hi Bennie, lyk dan of dit jou verjaardag is vandag. Baie geluk. Hoop jy gaan 'n geseende nuwe lewens jaar he.

Hennie2 · Post by **Hennie2** » Tue Apr 16, 2013 10:47 am

Hi Tau. Thanks for the reminder. We will definitely look at the whole security setup - I think there is quite a few changes that will have to be made. Thanks again.

stephanvaneeden · Post by **stephanvaneeden** » Fri Apr 19, 2013 8:17 am

Hennie, is daai die 17 " rim, met die 0 offset ?

Hennie2 · Post by **Hennie2** » Fri Apr 19, 2013 8:26 am

Hi Stephan, nie seker wat "0" offset beteken nie maar dit is die 17" rim. Hulle moes die wiele 15mm vorentoe skuif omdat dit bietjie teen die mudflap geskuur het. Die standaard grootte band is 'n 265/65/17 maar ek het 'n 265/70/17 opgesit.

Hennie2 · Post by **Hennie2** » Fri Apr 19, 2013 8:30 am

Hi Stephan - het gou opgelees - wiel het zero offset.

stephanvaneeden · Post by **stephanvaneeden** » Fri Apr 19, 2013 1:22 pm

Dankie man so gedink. My volgende vraag was die tyre grootte wat jy reeds genoem het.

Post by **Mud Dog** » Fri Apr 19, 2013 10:40 pm

Absolutely stunning so far! Well done!

Hennie2 · Post by **Hennie2** » Tue Apr 23, 2013 8:41 am

Thanks Andy.

Phase 2 started.

21: Park distance control cameras - front and rear.

Sjoe nice one Hennie.
But tell me I have always wanted to know, what does it feel like to win the Lotto? :)

Hennie2 · Post by **Hennie2** » Wed Apr 24, 2013 7:08 am

Haha. I wish.

Hennie2 · Post by **Hennie2** » Mon Apr 29, 2013 11:02 am

23: Park Distance Control sensors
24: Dust Kit
25: Outback Canopy
26: Loadbars on canopy for rooftop tent.

7 items to go.

Unfortunately the pictures will have to wait a while. People at home decided it is a good idea to have me wait until I get home to see the final product -very nice of them.

Hennie2 · Post by **Hennie2** » Wed May 01, 2013 1:50 am

So they decided to feel sorry for me and sent me some pictures of the canopy.

Hennie2 · Post by **Hennie2** » Wed May 01, 2013 2:18 am

Except for 3 items on my to do list all items have been fitted by Johan at Innibos 4x4 Fitment Centre in Sasolburg. http://innibos4x4.wozaonline.co.za/home" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Absolute pleasure to do business with them. They are not a large outfit but can provide and fit any accessory you need. They also do fitments for some dealerships. Quality of work and after sales service is outstanding.

Post by **george** » Wed May 01, 2013 9:10 am

jissie Hennie.Hierdie is darm net te mooi.Moet nou nie baie kilo's op hom sit nie.Ek wil hom oor so 4 jaar by jou koop

Hennie2 · Post by **Hennie2** » Wed May 01, 2013 9:20 am

Hierrie bakkie moet vir baie langer as 4 jaar hou - hy moet nog saam met my op pensioen.

Hennie2 · Post by **Hennie2** » Mon May 13, 2013 11:39 am

To Continue the list:
27: Sat Phone
28: National Luna 95l fridege / freezer
29: Outback drawer system
30: Roof Console
31: Kenwood Radio
32: National Luna Dual Battery System
33: Echo Rooftop Tent.

I decided to list the outstanding items as well to complete the thread - I will post the final pictures next week when I get back home.

34: UTV Stainless 3" FF exhaust
35: Pedal Booster
36: Chipbox Chip
37: Takla seat covers and floor liners.

All I need to do then is to see if the Hilux can do some obstacles which is planned with Toyota this Saturday and at Barakkah on 25 May. I will also be towing the trailer in some off road areas to check performance.

After that we are ready for Zambia in September.
