And I am told (not sure if it is true) that the new vvt Lexus V8 motor is basically made from aluminium, and as such you do not need to increase the size of the radiator??? I am seriously looking into this, but alas I am up in Joburg. Can anyone confirm this? I wouldn't stick with the standard radi...

Busy fitting my filling tanks as we speak. I am in the Trinity Village Shopping Centre, some three doors down from Mozambik restaurant.

Put both with an isolating switch on both. The ctek WILL fail on you, usually as a result of heat, but it will fail. Then you can change over. That is of course if you insist on the ctek. There is no perfect system available at the moment that you can buy off the shelf. The ctek is good but defanate...

Okay bollocks ... I will take 100 bags.

Okay the first thing I noticed about them was at speed on a dirt road, I could hear the occasional ping ping sound as stones that were thrown up by the tyres bounced off the Rocksliders which meant that the stones were not getting to the body. :thumbup: On a certain obstacle the Croozah slid over a ...

optirite

I will be able to give a detailed report on the use of the rock sliders after this weekend. They will be used and put through their paces.

optirite

I was going to suggest training wheels.

And the bodywork of the new Hilux is soooo soft that should you walk past and fart it will dent.

Also reach into the wheel arch and put your finger into one of the many holes in the chassis and see how much thinner it is.

optirite

Looks suspiciously close to Hennops according to their map.

Here in Hartbeespoort I pay R12 per bag ... but need to stock up again.
I'll take 100 bags, mebbe more.

Also huge difference in weight between say a 31/10.5/15 and say a 33/12.5/15. However having said that my Cruiser should have 265s on. It has 33/12.5/15 and that gives me around 6kms/l towing my caravan. Now for my KNP trip I thought that I would be clever and put 235s on. What a mistake. Consumptio...

Swambo (Estelle) and I went to the Kruger National Park for just under two weeks.

I found on my fridges (both Engel and Nat Luna) that the covers held in heat from the day.

You will find that although a bit longer the route is quieter and quicker. Rather than use Tlokweng border post go:

Please dont. Adds to the confusion.

As it is there are plenty channels/ frequencies being used:

ORRA2
ORRA3?

Lichtenburg repeater

Such a dissappointing nation.

No.
Do the sums of maintenance and engine replacements between petrol and diesel. The 2.7 petrol is also bullet proof and can rev. The diesel not.

She should have first tied the axle to the bumper or chassis. That way she would not have to jack up past the suspension travel.

The fourth most dangerous piece of equipment that you can have on a 4x4 is a hi-lift jack.
3rd is a snatch rope.
2nd is a winch.
1st is the idiot behind the steering wheel.

It has to be on the exhaust manifold, as it measures Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) as the exhaust gas exits the block. On my Land Rover Discovery 2 the alarm was set at 600, much or prolonged temperatures above that would result in melt down. When driving and you see the EGT climbing too fast or goi...

Those gas tanks are very strong and safety tested, even in an accident it is unlikely that the objects in your vehicle will pucture through 3mm steel, your fuel tank, 10 times the size with a .8mm skin, plastic & rubber hoses, is a much bigger hazzard. In a recent Mythbusters program they tried...

Guys it is really simple. Buy your meat and cook it in a frying pan for literally 2 secs each side, then repack it in zip locks and place back in your fridge. It does not effect the meat and it is "cooked" so will get through any road block or vet fence. Failing that phone the state vet an...
