Hilux 4x4 Forum

Tyrone D4D

Hello.

I'm looking for 2009 or newer Hilux or Fortuner 4x4.Must be a 3.0 D4D.Must have FSH.Preferably white or silver.Must be accident free and well maintained.Auto or manual.Price will be determined on extra's and condition.Preferably in Cape town or surrounding area's.Willing to spend up 280k.

Tyrone D4D

I know the previous owners VERY well.This vehicle has never ever seen off road.No bodywork done(Besides the one arch came off and they had that resprayed).It was a old mans car(Seriously)bought a New F30 and M4 Coupe.

Tyrone D4D

I know the 1st Fortuner's have a stabilty issue.(Some say it was rear suspension and other say incorrect tyres).Does the 4x4 not suffer of that problem?I once say a 4x2 at about 80kph skid on a wet road and flip over.I just want a safe realiable family vehicle.

Tyrone D4D

The 2009 is 4x2

Tyrone D4D

I want to buy a SUV(Fortuner)for us to use as a family vehicle but I have seen two I like.(1)2008 3.0D4D manual 120kms 4x4 or (2)2009(F/lift)3.0D4D automatic 173kms.Which do I choose???

Tyrone D4D

Due to that price is why if you look at most Fortuners or Hilux D4D models up for sale there Kms are always just under 150kms cause the previous owners think HELL NO its upgrade or downgrade time.I was lucky I bought my Hilux on 151kms(I have the receipts of +-10k cause service was done and battery ...

I fitted them to my 06 3.0 D4D D/Cab(lifted front +-45mm).I'm very happy with it.I put it in to 'level it' and that's what it did.

Tyrone D4D

Have you got a DECENT SDS Max Combi hammer?Otherwise get a 65mm Core fitting for a sds+ drill.You can always resell it on gumtree or olx when you done.

Tyrone D4D

I would recommend don't use a pirate part(have had a lot of headaches with midas in the past year).I bought a part for my Vigo 2 weeks ago and spoke nice to the salesman and received 20% off on my parts.

Hey guys.

I have a 2006 Toyota Hilux 3.0 D4D with 171000kms and still going very strong.Every year I buy myself a Xmas gift and I have thought about replacing the exhaust on the Hilux.Does the 06 models come out with a Cat?What's the positives and negatives to replacing the exhaust?

Tyrone D4D

Looks real good.How much the LED Bar cost?

Tyrone D4D

Eish.Thanks.How busy is your shop?Lol

Tyrone D4D

Murphy's law just after I look at a Fortuner I want to buy my 06 Hilux 3.0D4D battery light 1st went on and soon after airbag light and the ABS light flickers.What's wrong???Alternator?

Tyrone D4D

That's good but I'm actualy looking to hear if there is any horror stories.Everyone knows that the manuals clutch setup is a issue so just want to make sure the auto not a similar story that can cost me a FORTUNE(R)at the end of the day.

Tyrone D4D

Hey guys.Me and my wife have come to a conclusion that I don't use my bakkie as a bakkie and that a fortuner is better suited for our needs.So I have started looking around and decided to look for F/lift(2009 and newer)and it must be a diesel.But now I see that most of them up for sale is Automatic ...

Tyrone D4D

This is one of those cases where its actualy meant to be easy to sort out but its not!!!I even removed the plastic surounding of my dials/clocks,it kinda gives you access if you have thin little JAP hands and arms but I don't.Its very funny actualy mine doesn't rattle all the time so its another sou...

Tyrone D4D

On my 2006 Hilux I have discovered that the airvent on top of my dash(the one that is used to demist the windscreen)is 'loose' and rattles on certain RPM's.I tried to look from under my dash to see if I can get there but there's cover on the drivers side and the fan is on the passanger side so I cou...

Tyrone D4D

Hello guys. Regarding the recall I have just read on another forum of people saying they have already received refunds on the spiral cables.Has anyone here already be refunded or even been contacted regarding a refund?I was at Toyota a week ago but still havnt been contacted yet and I have already c...

Tyrone D4D

Tyrone D4D

Tyrone D4D

Hello Nishan. How did you check your Vin?Where?Cause I was at Toyota on friday and according to them they don't have any list for the recall yet.They even called some other dealership to confirm if they had received and list as yet.And they also said nothing yet but will contact me if mine is part o...

Tyrone D4D

Tyrone D4D

I have a 2006 Hilux 3.0 D4D with 165000kms.I'm getting worried about injectors and turbo.How many Kms before they usually die?Lol

Tyrone D4D

Hey.Replaced the Master cylinder(with generic thanks to stealers sleeping today)and seems its fixed up.Generic costs R1319.13 but I looked at the salesman and laughed and then got 45% off and paid R725.50.Generic is 100% identical to the unit I took out.Went in perfect,bleed the system and then adju...

Tyrone D4D

I hope they open on saturday.Before I go to them I will get my dad to remove it and then we can decide if its worth getting the kit or replacing the unit.I won't waste my time with a generic with such a important part.Very funny my unit aint leaking but just completely failed.How much you think the ...

Tyrone D4D

Checked the pipe from the resevior and not blocked.Took metal pipe from master cylinder that feeds the slave cylinder no air in it and barely any fluid comin out.Also makes a hissing noise from the master.You think the master cylinder could be the fault?I need to get spares asap and stealers closed ...

Tyrone D4D

Tyrone D4D

Hey guys.

Earlier this week I drove past a car dealership with a decent looking Sfa standing in front of the dealership.I just saw the Sfa posted on Gumtree for 50k!!!Looks good with some kit but It has had a motor swop to a 3l Cressida motor.Is it a decent motor or a money pit???

Tyrone D4D

I know!!!Lol!

Tyrone D4D

Hey guys. I'm looking at buying something else and I came across a 2006 Toyota Fortuner 3.0D4D 4x4.But I have heard that they have a 'Falling' over issue that can be rectified by suspension upgrades!According to the Dealer/Stealer it has been fitted with Ironman Shocks and Springs and been lifted.An...

Tyrone D4D

Goeie prys!Daar is 3 models ek het tweede beste jy seker cheaper een.Die duur een is R3200.Ek hoop jy het a 669 gekoop en nie 668 gekoop nie want die terminals is om gedraai.Die 669 werk op die Hilux en 668 op die Isuzu.

Tyrone D4D

Watse maak?My Raylite Siver calcium was R1700!

Tyrone D4D

Tyrone D4D

Tyrone D4D

Tyrone D4D

Hello.Its a Toyota and looking in the book means nothing.I took My Hilux 3 months ago to a 4x4 dealership looking at trading it in on a Newer model.They showed me Trade and Retail values of my Hilux and the salesman politely overed me R50000 MORE than RETAIL cause they will charge R70000 above RETAI...

Tyrone D4D

Claude upload some photos please!!!

Tyrone D4D

Should rather have bought a 4l V6 and then you atleast have power to show for poor petrol consumption.

Tyrone D4D

Claude what did you have to do to make the 32' fit 100%?

Tyrone D4D

The A line Grip is very nice but very common.I'm actualy looking for a black simple wheel.I will try Supa Quick aswell.

Tyrone D4D

Hey Claude.

So which mags you fit?Which A Line mags?What size?I would fit the Aline 'Dirt' but no stock.Also been to Goodhope but they had everything in wrong size or colour.Just my luck.

Tyrone D4D

If you have time then open the brush holders and check if its brushes.If so take the sample and buy the correct set and replace them your self.Otherwise take a tester and test the plugs,leads,fuel coils ect.Sounds like you been ripped of previously and its sad to hear.In cape town I have 3 decent re...

Tyrone D4D

Hey Thabo. In cape town I'm the Power tool 'King'.I sell more Power tools than the other dealers put together.In 15 years I realised there lots of guys that think the technicians and they will just make it worse.I recommend you use the 'agents' otherwise a Power tool repair centre that will supply y...

Tyrone D4D

Hey guys. So today I decided that I want to change the current wheels that's on my D4D for some new mags but after I went to 6 different 'Mag' Dealers I realised I'm wasting my time cause they all have 1 or 2 wheels each to choose from and they not what I want.Is this the reason that you either see ...

Tyrone D4D

Hey guys.It was KC.The problem in cape town is that there is a handfull of dealers selling these 4X4 products and they all do business together in one way or another so it feels like they all price fixing the products so that when you call around there prices all +- the same so you feel that the pri...
