Managed to get a nice neat LED Bar Light for my ARB Bumper to finish it off, I must admit this thing is so bright I can supply light to an entire camp site :laugh2: Was the perfect finishing point to the bull bar! https://scontent-lhr3-1.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xpf1/t51.2885-15/10369373_15830032252...

So after building the slide system - ( previous post) , it was very much time to get a canopy, and with luck I managed to find a custom built aluminium light weight frame and canvas canopy on Gumtree for a real steal! https://igcdn-photos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/t51.2885-15/10881944_1542520...

Ive decided to build a neat Slide Packing System for my IFS, as I want to be able to be more organized when those spontaneous moments come to get out of the city and go camping with the family. After much research and looking around, I decided to start simple and build a 2 x Slide system - 1 x for f...

:evil: here is another thread we can hi-jack :evil:

Re your post, if it ain't broke don't fix it!!! As far as I have heard it is better to replace than to service.

Thought as much :)

JaMMeX

Hi guys, my KZ is now on 218 000 km and running like a dream, serviced every 10 000km.

I have never services the Injectors since purchased (70 000km) ago ....

What do you recommend and who?

Hi Guys I need to buy a new Battery Charger and have been shopping around, I had a Benton BX2 but is gave up the ghost months back, and since have not replaced it. Any good deals out there, need to power my battery on my dual battery system when camping for the fridge and do general charges etc Char...

JaMMeX

These are like hens teeth at the moment and seen a few sold here in the cape at over R135k specially with all those extras. I was offered 130k the other day but not ready to let go!

JaMMeX

Went with the Vatar, very happy thus far and super service from Deltec! That's Guys!!

JaMMeX

I was told its a Over Run issues with the Dastec Chip that can be disabled , mine still only comes on when driving in traffic for a bit, but on the open roads never comes on.

I need to plug mine in again when next at Ferroli to see!

Just had a look. It is a 669P - just fits on the plastic tray and clears the A/C pipes just-just!

Stupid sticker is on the side closest to the fender so I can't see specs other than the number!

Thanks Bud, and it's a RayLite Right?

JaMMeX

Willard is a definite no-no (except if OEM fitted!) Whichever installer of batteries I have asked, has recommended Raylite silver calcium (sealed) battery, so I also fitted the largest one I could get in the battery tray. Partly because I drive a KZ and partly because I have a Pioneer 12" sub ...

JaMMeX

Hey Guys,

Been through the mill with batteries, and it's time to replace. I have has Willard (R900 to replace) and currently running a Raylite 657 (R1068 to replace) what are your thoughts on these batteries or what suggestions do you have for me?

JaMMeX

Not sure of the D4D model, but in my KZTE I had a similar issues, behind the cubbyhole should be a yellow airbag connector, unplug and check all is ok then reconnect, this has helped a few with the similar issues on the IFS model.

JaMMeX

Hi Craig, no have not done that

I will do it soon tho!!! Did this help you?

JaMMeX

Like any car it will have its problems if its been drilled, and decent KZs are scares, but if you find a goodie, and treat it well, it will look after you in return, 5 years with my KZ and loving it!

Just my 2c

Yip that's the way forward! Done plenty Kms and still happy, and it's half the price (last time I looked) ;)

Good Luck!

JaMMeX

Yoh!! Think I paid like R3k 4 years ago! That's steep!

JaMMeX

Sounds like your sensors may just be dirty... On the pickup.

Will keep you posted

Hi JammeX I have a 2003 Hilux 2.7 and experience exactly the same. When slow braking in town I sometimes feel a slight shudder of the brake pedal. Front break pads were replaced 4000km ago. When I test the ABS on a dirt road they work fine. If you find your problem please let me know as it will hel...

Thanks so much, I've taken my van to Ferroli now and they have said they want to keep it over night or for a day or 2 to trace all the sensor cables. In the mean time Marco asked me to see if I could track a second unit locally to test as the diagnostics errors change each time. If I don't come righ...

You got a PM! :) thanks!

How much are you wanting :/ dam so desperate to find this problem out

I'm taking a chance by thinking it is these items but let me know please PM me!

JaMMeX

I know this is not my first post on this topic, but I am still battling with my ABS problem. We have cleaned & checked all the sensors etc cleared the fault codes, but on breaking at under 10km/h the brake pedal makes a very strange noise and jerks around :( I have disconnected one if my sensors...

Thanks been in discussion with Chris today, such a good dude, and he will be organising for me for sure!

thanks for the feedback!

I must agree the BF Goodrich AT have bee a big let down on the Grip, I still have like 30% tread, yet in the wet I need to start breaking 500m down the road to stop. Also the side walls where weak, and took such a beating on my last off road trip... (called the agents and got nothing but excuses). I...

JaMMeX

My supplier as expected has let me down on my BF's (was to good to be true).

I now have the option of the Maxxis Big Horn or Cooper STT (same price per tyre)

What is your opinions?

JaMMeX

As expected it was too good to be true! the BFs where not Muds but ATs and a waste of time!

I now can get Cooper STT or Maxxis Big Horns for a Very good price, please send some feedback!

JaMMeX

Right.. I have sourced some 31"BF Muds for a Faaaaaaking good price!!! :D Happy Happy!!!

Thanks for the feedback guys!

JaMMeX

Thanks Guys!

What where your reasons for disappointment? Ride? Traction ? etc?

I will try shop around for some Coopers and see what deals I can find, OBV Cooper to me over the KL71's but I was under the impression they cost a lot more.

JaMMeX

Hey Guys what are your thought on the Kumho KL71 range, I need to replace my BF ATs but due to price the Kumho looks more inviting ?

JaMMeX

Keep us posted please!!!! Thanks!!!

Trying to source red and black 25mm cable .... no one has!

JaMMeX

Hi Guys

Not sure at this stage if I want more, the van flies as it is, this is standard boost, but better map. I think every Dyno is different, infact I know this, SAC would prob give me 120Kw reading haha, (never trust that dyno).

I am in the process of selling, so I want to keep it reliable!

:D

JaMMeX

Took my KZ to Kosie for a run as I felt I was missing power... and so he was...... here is the graph, boost only at 0.4bar (I can go up to 0.8) but was happy with what she is making at 0.4 Power Output Before 82.9kw 271nm Power Output After 95.7kw 341NM They recon at 0.8 bar it will be round 105kw a...

Light hardly comes on these days now... which is great - must be that over run setting... and all this since i took my lux up to Arniston and gave it a good burn!

Could it have been Carbon Build Up issue?

Interesting ....... hey?

Had the same issue a while back, also posted here, but everyone recommended the Stealers....
