Hi H, this is just what we had in mind. I see you from my area as well, so adding an hour or so onto your traveling time to 'compensate' for my highway speed and seems I can then also do it;) May I assume that you take the N3 to save time getting there and back? Again, many thanks guys, much appreci...

Henk Bakkie

Many thanks Mark.

Will look for the offers. Will be interesting to say the least if we do encounter snow;)

Have a great day

Good evening to all. My son asked for a trip up Sani as a 21st b'day present. Hard to believe but this is one trip we have never made.... My question now, is thid doable in a normal weekend? He is in varsity and sister in school, so cannot extend beyond maybe an early Friday to Sunday. Any advice on...

Friend of mine's brother got himself the Aygo on the current Toyota special. He loves it to bits. Intention was to use it for commuting, but it replaced his Mazda 2,5d 4x4 as well as his wifes Jimny. He got the two door version. AND he tips the scale at 100kgs so is not a small guy;) Hope this helps...

Dis natuurlik n baie persoonlike besluit maar ons het die sleepwa roette gegaan, baie lekker ingerig..... en toe verkoop. Sleep is nou maar eenmaal net n beslommernis. Ons het nou presies 5 tente, sommer Makro tipes wat wissel van n 7mang tent vir lank staan tot daai 2sek tente as net 3 van ons gaan...

Hi Martin, again many thanks for the advice on buying a motorised canoo :lol: I feel more comfortable re the decision not to go for this one. I have been to two dealers, but at the moment neither of them have something that fits my budget. KZN appears to be the place to go, as many dealers seem to b...

Henk Bakkie

In my humble opinion it can only be one thing........
my kettle, windhoek draft is great and cold water heavenly, but without coffee I stop functioning sooner rather than later

Henk Bakkie

Hi Martin, many thanks for the comprehensive and detailed information - much appreciated. I made a call to a dealer earlier today who suggested that the proce should be in the region of R30 000, despite me seeing most similar boats being advertised in the R55k and upper bracket. Maybe he wants me to...

Henk Bakkie

Dankie George, ek het die verkoper laat weet dat ek eers die week wil kwotasies kry. As die boot myne moet wees sal dit volg naweek nog daar wees. Daai enjin toets is n goeie plan, probleem lyk my is die verkoper werk lang skofte, dus is die neiging dat ek "kan kom kyk".... Sal maar sien w...

Henk Bakkie

Hi Wayne, het self by boatyard n draai gemaak nadat ek hulle "pre loved" bote oppie net gesien het. Moet se dat die ondervinding nie great was nie-voel kompleet asof ek nie deel van die "club" is nie... Die boot wat ek oorweeg (al minder....) kom darem met 4 life jackets. Maar ek...

Henk Bakkie

Eish.....daai is mos groot geld. Ek gaan beslis nie kyk as daai Suzuki nie heeltemal reg lyk nie, so sommer nou bewys van dienste, ens.

Baie dankie vir die inligting, dit help regtig met die besluit.

Net ou my 5c bylas. Ons het onssleepwa verkoop bloot oor die slaapplek. Beide myselfen my vrou het engtevrees, en daai oormekaar klim was net een te veel. Daar is tente waar die bed dwars op die sleepwa le, defnitief my keuse as ek weer sou koop. die toets voor die koop het natuurlik niedie probleem...

Henk Bakkie

Thanks Wayne, I am sure the costs would only have gone up since then. I see very few similar boats on the web to compare, a 04 model sells for 70k, so I guess the condition of th motor will be the most important factor. I will however, if I am interested, see how much of the R8000 the seller can &qu...

Henk Bakkie

Now this might not be HiLux related, but seeing that I will tow the boat with my bakkie should qualify to post here :yahoo: I am in the market for a boat, and found this 02 Miamy 17ft with 115Suzuki motorfor mid 40's. the pics look good, but due to the boat not being used they have not done the boya...

Henk Bakkie

Ek sttem heeltemal dat ek well die regte besluit geneem het. Dis nie diepte so seer as die sterk vloei wat my laat besluit het om om te draai nie. O ja, dan het ek verneem dat daar boere in die omgewing met helikopters ontruim is, wat mens net laat glo dat hierdie nie die enigste verspoelde brug op ...

Henk Bakkie

Min 18 jaar oue bakkies kan nog so sag op die oog wees

Henk Bakkie

Ek skat die vraag bly altyd - kon ek deur of was omdraai die beste besluit? Eergister by hierdie verspoelde brug naby Lephalale afgekom en, siende dat dit net ek, my vrou en dogtertjie was, maar besluit om om te draai en die kortpad (teerpad) Lephalale toe te vat :lol: Na ongeveer 500 km se grond (m...

And the Sasol fuel is made from coal - thus no relevance to the price of crude oil - so guess who makes super profits with our tax money :sick: Just heard on the radio this afternoon that the price of fuel is expected to rise by at least 50c over the next two months - excluding the tax that Pravin i...

Ek dra 'n pienk hemp, maar net op Donnerdae - moennie vra nie :think: Het al 'n nudiste oord besoek... :oops: Ry heeltemal te min met my bakkie - een tenk petrol per maand is nie 'n aanduiding van die tenk grootte nie, maar wel van die min ry... :( My studente seun ry meer met my bakkie as ek :cry: ...

Henk Bakkie

Is jou seun koshuisbrak of dagbrak? Sterkte, ek glo dit sal baie goed gaan! Na baie oorweging het ons maar van die Lux se sakgeld gevat en woonstel gekoop - darem beter om maandeliks jou eie verband te betaal. Hy is dus 'n dagrak reken ek? :think: Dis sy derde dag vandag, lewe nog en blykbaar :shoc...

Interessante ouderdomsgaping, maar veels geluk en sterkte vlge jaar! Interesant Thinus - beslis ja :D Maar ek kla glad nie - oor so jaar of twee moet :D ek langs die netbal baan staan en my meisiekind ondersteun - jy weet, daar tussen die 25 jarige ma's :angel: My enigste vrees is dat die maatjies ...

matriek uitslae gaan vier Baie geluk, dis seker 'n verligting :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Ek is besig om St7 te skryf......... :wink: Baie dankie - dit was nogal 'n verligting. Ek is seker dit IS meer stresvol vir die ouers as die kinders self. Dit was natuurlik deels waarom die bakkie die jaar s...

Henk Bakkie

Dan's dit nou tyd dat jy langer sessies doen! Ja right - jy wil nie sien hoe ek na 20 minute op die treadmill lyk nie :crazy: My "ontwerp" vermoe maak dan ook plek vir my oorlewings vermoe. Ons het juis gisteraand my seun se matriek uitslae gaan vier, so vanmiddag ontwerp ek weer dat die ...

Henk Bakkie

Henk, Indien ek jou reg lees (tussen die lyne), mag jou "low-profile canopy" oorbodig raak vorentoe - om plek te maak vir die ware Jakob? :eh: Indien wel, stel ek belang asb Baie dankie Hi Thinus, op hierdie stadium is die nuwe projek nog net 'n gedagte - die ontwerp ontwikkel gewoonlik t...

Apart from the idea at the time to fit a RT, I quite like the cool look at this height.

Lets hope it works

I have a pic on my desktop - to get it scaled down and attached is driving me up the wall. As my son would say to me - "Dad, it;s a PICNIC error. Problem In Chair Not In Computer. I guess I will have to try again :think: The canopy is not the best looker around as I had off cut 3mm plate that t...

Henk Bakkie

Good day to all, long time no visit. Wish I could say that the reson for this was that I was off on a trip, but reality is that my bakkie only did 10 000 in the whole year due to workload :( The reason for this posting is to test my latest idea. I have made a steel / Alu canopy - not all that differ...

Henk Bakkie

MY Lux leaks fuel from the main tank overflow when both tanks are full and I park on a slight downhill. The aux tank obviously overfuels the main tank, resulting in this leaking. I would like to fit a valve between the two - in the fuel line - to stop this problem, and at the same time isolate the t...

Henk Bakkie

I Like the idea, just spend 20c/l more this morning due to the local Shell being out of fuel? BP the mroe expensive option.

Only problem is that the Benoni / Boksburg area seems to under the radar?

Any plans of extening the scope to include the east as well

Many thanks

Henk

Wel dit lyk my hier is 'n paar Hi lux manne wat nog nie hulle Hi lux se 4x4 vermoë ken nie.... :oops: Meer rede om bymekaar te kom op 'n lekker rowwe trip en dan sommer te leer hoe 'n Hi lux gery moet word :thumbup: Henk die padhou vermoë in 4x4H op 'n grondpad is great en jy kan laat waai so hard ...

Hi guys, many thanks for the information.

It is great to have such a "support structure" available. Now I must just polish my searching skills to find the answers without having to ask the question

Please excuse my ignorance, but I have a question regarding driving long distance / high speed (relative) in 4H on gravel roads. Being an ex Landy owner I came to appreciate the permanent 4 wheel drive on gravel roads in terms of handling, etc. Will I - or can I - get the same by engaging 4 wheel dr...

Henk Bakkie

Ek het so pas die 4x4 soektog deurgemaak - die feit dat ek diep binne my geweet het ek sal net met 'n SFA Hilux tevrede wees het seker nie gehelp nie :lol: - maar wat ek wel gesien het is dat die handelaars, smaak my, probeer om die Jeeps weg te gee! Ek kon, teen dieselfde prys as my '93 Lux, 'n '99...

Hi guys, thanks for the advice - looks like Merc 124 fan it will be!

Does this then qualify me to put a "powered by Mercedes Benz" on my bakkie :) or is this limited to Slanjong cars?

Now I just need to increase the airflow inside the cab....

Henk Bakkie

Not quite linked to the solenoid but as I intend using my fridge in my recently accuired Hilux, I need to fit a second battery as well. Now in the Landy this was easy - move the original battery up a bit and fit another one under the seat - were is the most popular place to fit the battery in the Lu...

Henk Bakkie

realised the importance of the interior fan / AC today - sat in traffic for quite a while when I noticed that withou the wind generated from driving the cab gets VERY hot. The fan only seems to start moving the air when set at max - anyone experieced this "low air flow" problem before - an...

Hi there to all, I am new to this website, having just purchased my '93 2,2 Raider Monday last week. After a long search, including many Km's driven after "Good conditions" HiLux's, I ended up buying one at a premium in PTA. After spending a week with the bakkie, and having just taken it t...
