First time Toyota Owner
Good day all,
I just acquired a 2008 D4D 3.0 DC 4x2 Hilux yesterday. I must admit being a VW person, I love this bakkie! It has 174,000km with FSH by Toyota and she feels brand new. Current vehicles I own include an 89 MK2 Gti(16vt), Volkswagen CC 2.0T DSG.
Look forward to learning more about the Hilux and any possible issues/preventative maintenance I should look out for.

Re: First time Toyota Owner
Welcome aboard, Dineshen! Nice Hilux!
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: First time Toyota Owner
So guys, last year I sold my my beloved Hilux with apart for the injector issues and clutch replacement gave me a faultless experience. I was hooked from the onset. It went to a good buddy of mine who pestered me for the vehicle, so technically she is still in the family.
On with the new, i was really looking for a 4x4 Hilux but then stumbled across a mint 4x2 Dakar with 50k on the clocks. I fell in love.

Re: First time Toyota Owner
I could not deal with the standard sound system so the first mod was a sound upgrade, all done at home.
In went full sound deadening material, a pair of kicker 6.5 splits and co-axials in the rear. Full kicker wiring. Kicker 4 channel and a kicker mono ruining an 8inch L7 square sub behind rear seats.
Sounds amazing.

Looks very impressive. Must sound a heck of a lot better than the standard system!

Re: First time Toyota Owner
If only Toyota had fitted a better radio to the Hilux, and we would have been a whole lot better off. I still want to replace mine and add some sound deadening in the doors

Re: First time Toyota Owner
yes Radio is the weak point. The sound deadening really helps, also gives the doors a more solid German feel.pieta.swanepoel wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2018 7:03 am If only Toyota had fitted a better radio to the Hilux, and we would have been a whole lot better off.
