Thanks, checked fuse, but if fuse was faulty tail lights also wouldn't have worked?

I've had this problem for a while, haven't noticed anything else not working

Afternoon all, I have a 2013 Prado TX 3.0 Diesel I have a problem with lights inside the cab that is supposed to light up all the different switches from the back. For instance on the drivers door there is a panel with all the switches to control the electric windows, they have little green indicato...

Nes jy daar sè Thys, die deure staan oop. Was besig met Cruisers se dinge, beplan Bots trip vir vlg jaar so gaan nou my Hilux moet kit, dis hoekom ek ń comeback maak op forum.

Ramkat

Hello oom Eric, nee ek is nou eers klaar met Wimpy. I now have a 52 room Hotel and a Cash Crusaders store.

Lyk my ek was te lank weg, agter geraak met die Hilux lingo, wat is nou die Tuna.

Ooooo! Daar tref dit my nou... Fortuna

Nee, sal hou by die Luxe en eendag as ek baie groter en slimmer is dan LC200!

Ramkat

After an absence of a few years I am back, went from SFA to IFS to now Cruiser 80 SERIES and Vigo.

Ramkat

I would appreciate some help and advice on a planned trip from Kokstad to the Kruger National Park and back. Since I am rather useless at this sort of thing, any recommendations and tips would be appreciated. Unfortunately we will be in my wife's car, the plan was to do this trip in my new 4x4, but ...

Ramkat

Excellent report Thys. Glad to see you enjoyed the rest of your trip.

You left out one statistic: 5707km @ 7.2km/l = 792.64l @ R7.90p/l = R6261.86

Ramkat

Eish Leon, dit was amper ne'!

Ramkat

Looking forward to seeing you, let me know of your dates.

Ramkat

The torsion bars on my IFS Hilux has been turned up by the previous owner to get the nose up. This limits the wheel travel, and I want to get it back to standard settings, can anybody please tell me what it should be set at? I don't know exactly how it is measured, the only way that I can think of i...

Have a look at the topic above. Alluminium spacers 30mm.

Ramkat

I,ve done a few small modifications while on leave last week.

Ramkat

What do I need for a body lift on my bakkie? It has full OME suspensin, but I want a little extra, say 40mm lift. Is it as simple as putting spacers between all the mountings, or will I need to do any modifications? Any help will be appreciated.

Not many Cruisers here, but we've got a few Hilux's that can volunteer as recovery vehicles!

Allan,

I suggested the same thing since I know the trail quite well, needless to say, they're not interrested. Crooozers only!

Ramkat

I don't think there's many members here with Cruisers, but just for your information, and so that you can tell your Cruiser buddies of this event. I'm helping to organise a Land Cruiser get together here close to Kokstad on the farm that I am staying on, called Stoneybrook Ranch. The event is taking...

I have an axle for you, complete but crown wheel damaged. I'm far away from you, but it's here if you want it.

Jack, once more, you got a big bargain there! :) -F_D Oom Eric, I got a few suprises on the bakkie, had to replace a few things: Radiator was leaking, idler arm had to be replaced,...

Ramkat

I took the big step about 2 months ago to get rid of my 1993 SFA Hilux and went for IFS suspension. The decision was mainly based on comfort, speed, power, better breaking, and an aircon that works properly. I'm sure i will pay the price off-road, but in this game, you have to compromise, no matter ...

Ramkat

Baie mooi bakkie, laat my terug verlang na my SFA, maar met jou bakkie se engine in hom.

Vertel bietjie hoe suksesvol die conversion was, en wat die resultate is.

Ramkat

What Cassie and Bennie is saying is absolutely correct. I was there, it was a great experience, and definetely worth going.

As far as the collapsing thing goes, I believe that the devil is trying to stop the good work that Angus Buchan is doing.

Ramkat

Jaco, please post a few pics of how you pack that canopy of yours. I'm planning something similar for my bakkie.

Ramkat

Julle ouens moet bietjie by die scrapyards uitkom, dan gaan krap daar in die KZ-TE's en koop vir julle nuwe secondhand gearknobs soos hierdie.

Ramkat

I hear what you're saying about spare wheels, but if you put them on towbar it's another thing that needs to be opened to get into the back.

Ramkat

Thanks, I had a look at yours. The first thing is the access, as you mentioned, it's a pain to open tailgate, open canopy door and slide out fridge to get to something cold. I also don't want a canopy that goes to high up. My idea is a slider at the bottom for ammo boxes only, a platform on top of t...

Ramkat

Someone on the forum has a half canopy or box made from aluminium, don't know if i'm describing it right, not a full canopy, only half as high as normal canopy. I want to know who that is so i can take a better look at his design. Please let me know who it is, I have the same idea. Also, I'm looking...

Ramkat

You guys must also post pics of your Suzuki's. Any modifications done?

I will be there!

All painted on rims, it doesn't go very fast, so I'm not concerned about paint chipping on gravel roads. It will climb anywhere as long as jou can keep the nose down.

Ramkat

I've had it for about a month, bought it for the wife to mess around with on the farm, but it is so capable that I've been playing with it more and more. Lots of small jobs to do on bodywork, but mechanically sound.I've reconditioned the rims so far, and most of the interior.

Ramkat

Oom Eric,

I think you must change your rims, or the colour of your rims first, and then decide if you want a sticker, and if you do, what design and colours.

Ramkat

hi , i would say go back to 31" . The 32 feels a little under powerd on highway use (on my lux) , low range offroad its ok (buddies 2.7) on my lux i'm going 4,875 on the rear diff to restore some power even for the soon to be 33 . All i can say about the brands , i love BfG Muds . If noise are...

Ramkat

[quote="Family_Dog"]You might be able to get 31" Maxxis at a better price - Jon was running a special for forum members not so long ago.

Not too keen on MAXXIS. would like to stick to Coopers or BFG.

Ramkat

Thanks for the feedback. I decided to go for 31". Cooper of BFG. No BFG'S available anywhere in the country. Please phone your local dealers for prices and availability. Prices I got was R1970 each for 31x10.5 Cooper STT and R1690 for BFG mud. Please let me know if anyone can find BFG'S or Coop...

Hi Jack! Is this the vehicle from K'Dorp? I've got 31" Cooper AT on White Fang, no problems, but I have 31" Cooper STT on Bulldog. Roadholding fine on tar - although it seldom rains here - road noise an issue at 80km/hr but seems to become less of a problem at higher speeds. Photos, man, ...

Ramkat

I had 31'' Cooper STT'S on my SFA. I got good mileage, and they were excellent off-road. Don't know if it was the bakkie or the tyres, but road holding wasn't great on tar. I bought 2.7 IFS now and it has 32" BFG'S on. I haven't done any serious off-roading with them yet, but holds excellent on...

The driver was very happy to see us. The bakkie had allready been in the water for a few hours tied to one of the big rocks with a chain.

Dankie vir al die inligting, ek het na 'n SRX gekyk om te koop, maar was in baie swak kondisie!

Ramkat

Did all 4x4 d/c Raiders from 1999 come with diff-loc,airbags,cruise control,electric windows etc?

Ramkat

Oom Eric said that the SRX didn't come standard with diff-loc. Is it a totally different diff to the Raiders?

Also, if anybody can give me any information on differences in trimming inside and out and technical specifications etc.

Any info will be appreciated.

Ramkat

Thanks Louis,

I realized that a few minutes ago! I can't believe it! The fitment centre who fitted for me has allready picked up my bakkie to sort out the problem.

Ramkat

I found what's making a noise when i go through a hole or over something after i fitted the new Dobinsons spring packs in front. DSC05067.JPG DSC05069.JPG I don't know why this is happening now, I measured the old springs, and the sizes seems the same, so nothing has changed from the old springs to ...

I bought my bakkie wirh Dobinsons springs and Monroe shocks, and have been driving in on that se-up for about 4 years now.

Baie dankie Dennis en Niel, Dennis jou canopy lyk spoggerig! Het jy self die frame gemaak of het die ouens wat die seil gemaak het dit gedoen? Zips en velcro werk klaarblyklik baie goed. Dit lyk of velcro aan die onderkant die aangewese ding is. Ek sien jy het ook die probleem met water wat opdam bo...
