Guestimate

Doctor V · Post by **Doctor V** » Mon Feb 14, 2011 3:14 pm

Mmmmm so what would be a good guestimate if I'm looking to sell my bakkie?
93 2.2 4Y (original!!!) with Brospeed Branch
296000km's approx
Bench Seat (Allan sorting upholstery on new one)
Smash and Grab
Dual battery with Marine switch

Would 42000 be pushing it?

I think you can get even beter than that....

Stef · Post by **Stef** » Mon Feb 14, 2011 3:21 pm

Don't think so, depending on the condition I think you might even get closer to R55k

ThysdJ · Post by **ThysdJ** » Mon Feb 14, 2011 3:26 pm

met of sonder canopy? Gooi daai ou vrot canopy van jou op, haal my mooi tailgate weer af en verkoop hom terug aan my...

vir halfprys dan sit jy hom in vir R48K en wees bereid om bietjie (klein bietjie) te onderhandel. Was en polish hom net mooi, jou Hilux lyk regtig nie so erg nie..

maar as ek die canopy terugsit wat gaan van my 6 bottels brannewyn word???

Ek vra net hipoteties oor die een. Die baas van die blaas gaan nie 2 van my speelgoed op die werf toelaat nie (OK eintlik 3 maar dis omdat chirurgie nodig is is hy nog met ons

)

Jy kan hulle maar vir my gee, ek kan hulle baie beter gebruik as jy...

niks minder as R50 000 nie

Doctor V · Post by **Doctor V** » Mon Feb 14, 2011 4:11 pm

Miskien moet ek dit Adverteer op die forum en kyk - van julle ken die bakkie. sal sommer die canopy ingooi met die deal - die koper kan dan besluit of hy die kappie wil opsit of nie.

Die dag jy hom verkoop sal jy nog berou

.... maar dit lyk my jy sal ook as jy nie verkoop nie. So as jy besluit om die "baas van die werf" happy te hou, ruil eerder die bakkie vir 5000 kaste KWV .... ten minstens sal jy vir 'n gooie paar jaar jou sorrows kan drown.

Told ThysDJ I drove a XXXXX brand vehicle last night. Very good condition with a nice powerful engine. Great drive and very comfortable. Then got back in Roeskol and told SWAMBO "Jis maar my bakkie ry lekker"!!! That pretty much says it all....

Ek weet nie hoekom jy wil verkoop nie, daai Hilux is "Spotless"...

OK so keeping my wheels I've done a bit on it since I asked for the Guesstimate. So spent a few pennies but worth it. Doing trip in 2 weeks. basically 2 parts. Part 1 doing desert trip through Naukluft for about 6 days, and 2nd bit is a 6 day fishing trip north of Henties

So, so far I've done a few cosmetics and then the following

- New Blades front and back (Mikem fronts and extra leaf at back)
- New Gabriel Shocks - again Hoppy knows the correct serial numbers.
- New Steering Dampener Shock (Gabriel)
- Clear lens lights in front (again Hopppy knows where to get these)
- Dual Battery System rewire – pulled out all wiring back to front and rewired using 4mm wire. No body earth but rather direct cable to battery negative. kept Marine Switch. Brad Harrison Plug in Cab and loadbin. Then 3 cigarette plug Battery Monitor installed in front of Bench seat(http://www.ringautomotive.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). All Hella and other points connected directly to 2nd battery
- Cold Air induction pipe from air filter
- 150 Liter fuel tank in loadbin (fitting tomorrow)
- Front seat re-upholstered
- New Safetybelts (Midas Universal)
- New canopy

took vehicle to Atlantis few weeks ago and new suspension makes huge difference with traction.

Great, would be nice

- Dual Battery System rewire – pulled out all wiring back to front and rewired using 4mm wire

Is this 4mm square, you are referring to ie 16mm cable?

Doctor V · Post by **Doctor V** » Fri Apr 08, 2011 3:56 pm

just normal automotive red and black wire. think it said 4mm.... or maybe just me redoing some other item with that. wait, how come 6 or 8 sounds more familiar

need to work less so I'm not this tired on a friday!!!

Eish, hate to tell you this but 6/8mm cable, ain't going to be sufficient......

Check out this voltage drop calculator:
http://www.kilowatts.com.au/calculator-voltage-drop.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I get approx. 10sqmm cable?

So also added tank on saturday. Fitted like a glove and myself and hope did some serious measuing to fit it in the loadbin. Had to move the rollbar about 10cm's back to make sure the filler pipes connect and bottom connector into primary filler. Outside filler also got small breather. Then strapped tank into loadbin with 400kg rated ratchet straps - she ain't going nowhere. Happy to report that no fuel smell in canopy so breather doing it's job

Will post pics I promise!!!

Met die geld wat ek nou spandeer het aan die bakkie sal ek hom nog moet ry vir at least nog 2 of 3 jaar of as ek die land verlaat - whichever comes first!!!

Doc

Could you please post a wider angle shot of your 2nd battery position.

Reason why, I fitted my battery there last night, and my donaldson doesn't fit in

Probs just doing it wrong, but seems my donaldson is bigger looking at the pic already up :roll:

Your help will be GREATLY appreciated

Zane

Doctor V · Post by **Doctor V** » Wed Apr 13, 2011 12:22 pm

Will grab proper camera to show the position - all squeezed in and Rooies had to use the plasma to get the filter out when we did the induction bit

Van, looks like yor cold air induction is presently a hot air induction system without filtration .... in the first pic the bottom pipe from the air cleaner to the carb is off / hanging loose.

Maddoglips · Post by **Maddoglips** » Thu Apr 14, 2011 9:34 am

Thanks Doc

Defi the way I wanna go. I'm now convinced though that the donaldson I have is way bigger then yours as mine takes up the entire space where your battery is.

I can't even move it off the fender towards the power steering as it's still to big :x

Again Thanks,

Doctor V · Post by **Doctor V** » Thu Apr 14, 2011 10:30 am

When I posted the pics I saw the loose pipe. Some appies - believe them if they say it is tightened :wth: :wth: though I heard an extra vavaa voom this morning

Pipe anyway too old so will replace today and do it right the 1st time

Tonight Mission Spotlights!!! Previous owner(s) wiring so dodgy I nearly spent an hour last night trying to figure out where everything went and hooked up (and now I also remember why I cut the spots off - caused havoc on my lights)

New wiring from lights to relay done. Now the 12V and switch in cab linkup (keeping the lights completely separate from normal light beam high\low)

And so I learn - I'm no Mech or Electrical engineer but past few weeks have learnt a lot spending time for e.g. with the new tank and dual battery setups. It's easy to give the task to someone and pay them to do it. when you opbserve and even get your hands dirty - that is the way you learn!!! Also makes problem solving easier

Doctor V · Post by **Doctor V** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 10:06 am

Thanks to Internet and common knowledge and my Sub A teacher for helping me Read.... I wired my spotlights - new wires, fuse box, 12V relay, switch in cab. And it worked 1st time I switched the power back on!!!!!

Although not a mega job it was time consuming getting all the old crap out and rewiring everything.

Post by **Mud Dog** » Fri Apr 15, 2011 12:06 pm

Good on you, Van!

We all have to start somewhere.
