rigardt

I found one at Outdoor Warehouse.
thanks Tony.
thanks guys.

Was at The Wedge yesterday with the Suzuki club. It was awesome. Trail is not too difficult but lots of mud ! None of us could master the obstacle called “the swamp” would like to see which of the Hilux club members can master it ! Had to recover a jimny that got stuck in the mud  Also got myself s...

i recently got a 2nd hand snomaster fridge as a present. it has 2 plugs for power. 1 is a normal kettle plug/computer plug which runs of normal house power. I assume the 2nd plug is a 12 V connecter. it has some funny 8 figure looking plug. does anyone know where I can find a cable for this ? thanks...

rigardt

now I'm interested as well. I have tried the sand paper and toothpaste before and couldn't get it to work so well. I'm going to give the wisecracks guy a try and see.

rigardt

we're in for this. this coming weekend I'm going with a few of the Suzuki club guys to the the wedge, so will see what it's like in case nobody else has been there. will report back.

rigardt

there is no chance. that is pure luck and big brass b@lls

rigardt

en blykbaar is hulle nou besig om dit reg te maak !
http://www.wheels24.co.za/News/Guides_a ... a-20170303
daa gaan seke n recall wees vir al die wat al klaa daa buite is !

rigardt

that is a FAR drive to go and play in some mud !!

rigardt

1 thing that I see that's missing is in the "unread posts" view. we could normally see in which category the post was. that is now gone. can it be reinstated?

rigardt

there are no tools that is free and good. how much is your data worth to you ? might have to fork out and buy EaseUS.

rigardt

ok understood. scrap the landy. can I load 3 other people (no kids) in my hilux ? will even bring our own meat.

rigardt

do we pay per person or just R200 per vehicle ? so 4 people in 1 car is still R200 ?
also need to add a friend (non club member) to the list with a landy ! we need to practice recoveries before the end of the year !

rigardt

keen for either one. will not be camping

rigardt

no he doesn't ! martin is always right !

rigardt

baie mooi ! ek sien jy het jou 400 KG voor bumber gehou

rigardt

Did Kungwini just the other day. And Piesangkloof. DeWildt has become a bit boring. Never been to Spookspruit, but I believe the club was there recently? Hobby park's red mud is too much of a hassle to wash off.... hi Mickey I do agree Hobby park's mud is a pain. have you done the whole trail yet ?...

rigardt

ja nee mens kan so se.
so... die een met die skerper neus (die nuwe een) gaan minder eet en vinniger hardloop as die ouer kort neus een ?

rigardt

manifold lyk nice ! waste ITB's gaan jy op sit ?

rigardt

Going up on our own. :shock2: going on your own ...... well then I would get some tracks. the bright orange ones ! they might be big and bulky and take some space but they are light and weigh basically nothing - still very strong ! rather have them and don't need them than need them and don't have ...

rigardt

are you going up to kubu island on your own or in a group ?

rigardt

Well I learned the very expensive way ! It thought I would ask here in any way to make sure I didn’t do something wrong. Broke the right front inner cv – going up a very rocky incline Took the shaft out and drove home – about 40 km’s In the end had to tow it to Toyota Fixing the broken cv – about 3 ...

rigardt

thanks guys. so will stay with my 16's but try a higher profile for my next tyres.

rigardt

I was thinking of going bigger in size. like 17" or 18". would that make a difference ? or must I rather do a higher profile than what I currently have ?

rigardt

is it possible to remove the right (or left) front side shaft and drive the vehicle ?

rigardt

I don't need new tyres now but looking at the prices I want to start saving for them right now I'm thinking bigger and wider. just not sure how big or how wide I can or should go ? I have seen less capable vehicles climb over holes where I fell in currently have 265 / 70 / 16 do I go bigger or wider...

rigardt

sorry neil. now I feel bad for suggesting a another type of event without even wanting to join the current organised one. we are in a rough financial and personal time right now. would have loved to attend more club meetings but I will be back shortly !!

rigardt

I do agree. not enough interested parties.
how about a training day for the guys.
obviously with some serious challenges cause we all know how to climb pavements at the shopping mall already !

rigardt

sold to the highest bidder !!!
congratulations its yours.
not really sure how these work - they might have software updates so beware this one’s software might be older than the one you currently have !
also please share pics if it does burn out !!

rigardt

I have no idea what you are talking about.
this is what I have. might have the harness somewhere aswell

rigardt

what dictator do you have ?
I have one lying around here.
I can sponsor for some testing if you want.
don't want it. don't use it. so don't mind if it gets burnt !

rigardt

hoe lyk jou radio op die fortuner ? kan jy n pic op sit ?
ook waste model is die fortuner ?

rigardt

ag nee jissie manne.
ons wil prentjies sien ! nie beskrywings hoor nie !

rigardt

no apology needed. so has there never been a D4D built into an SFA ?? tsk tsk that would be a good combo !

rigardt

Hey I love my 3.0 D4D. why is that not on the list ??

rigardt

stem saam ! ons wag nog vir fotos van daaaaaai V12 !!

rigardt

sjoe dis n groot verskil. jou bakkie is petrol ? gooi jy 93 of 95 in ?

rigardt

reason i'm asking is I think the jimny might be a tad too low

rigardt

I assume this is still on. do you think a jimny will do this track or rather leave it home ?

rigardt

like the colour !

rigardt

are you getting the diesel ?

rigardt

Quentin WHAT did you do this weekend ?
why is your name in pink all of a sudden ??????

rigardt

so a 4 seater with 2 doors and 2 people ?
what's the rear seats used for ? packing stuff ? make sense
we do the same. we are only 2 and use the rear seats on our double cab for packing space but we can open the rear doors to pack.
how does it work on the 2 door FJ ?

rigardt

I do agree it was a fun and relaxing day !
however we realised this dodging poles and throwing ball stuff is not really for us.
I much prefer a trail with the club and a braai afterwards.
but that's just our opinion.
talking about it. when are we having a club GTG again ?

rigardt

can we go for the lowest as well ?
I think mine is pretty low !

2012 Toyota Hilux 3.0 D-4D DC 4X4 62 000 km.

rigardt

I'm not so sure.
FJ only has 2 doors so eventually becomes a pain for rear passengers. also heard it can get claustrophobic in the back.
also it is already discontinued overseas so how long is it still going to be sold here ?

rigardt

well done man !
also great to see the interview. at last can put a face to the name.

rigardt

ja ek het baie van piesangkloof gehou.
voorloopig is ons ook daar !
