Hilux 4x4 Forum

Wat maak julle om julle wheel wells te protect? Ek het my lux af gespuit met die power-hose toe kom daar sulke swart stukke modderlike coating af. Ek dink die vorige eienaar het dit op gesit. Nou is ek bang die exposed body werk kry roes en dit lyk nie lekker nie. So patch patch wit verf wat deur kom.

jsrossouw

Julle doen dit verkeerd, tekkies gaan nie oor hoe lank dit hou nie. Dit gaan oor hoe dit lyk en hoe goed dit modder verplaas.

jsrossouw

Rawr, thx. Ek het nie geweet mens kan alloy rims powder coat nie. Enige idea wat dit sal kos? En wat van anodizing?

jsrossouw

Hey,

Is daai briek blok stof op jou mags of het jy jou original mags laat swart spray?

jsrossouw

Jislaaik, dis nou toevallig. Ek het gister van my stoel af geval toe ek die wielle met 'n bietjie bakkie bo-op gesien het op die forum en vandag ry die trokkie verby my oppad werk toe. Daar by cobble walks verby. Well done, nice trokkie.

jsrossouw

Granted but I think you can trust the 2.7 conversion. It seems like that bakkie has been around and is well known on this forum. I put a hilux alert on gumtree when I was looking and thats how I found my bakkie. Every morning you get a mail with the latest ads on gumtree that contains you search cri...

And I dont know if this is still available but it looks like a bargain for a well kitted 4x4:

I saw this on gumtree yesterday:

http://capetown.gumtree.co.za/c-Cars-Ve ... Z168509481

Looks like its fully kitted already.

jsrossouw

Thanks guys, will try them out. Stikland is a bit closer to me than Parow so I will try there first.

jsrossouw

Hi there,

Does anyone know of a place that sells the clips that close the windows of a canopy? My dog destroyed both of them!

jsrossouw

Hi Guys, I was camping this weekend at Dwarskerbos and I ran into some fellow overlanders. The driver of the D4D told me that he would not buy a deep-cycle if he was me as it needs too much maintenance and a normal battery costs a fraction of the cost. He thinks a normal battery is a better buy seei...

jsrossouw

That is a truck to be proud of. Daai isse blerrie nice lorrie. Pardon my ignorance but I am new in the game of 4x4ing. What is that big tank on the right of your engine for? Air lockers? Verskoon tog, ek is nie free nie, ek is dom. Wat is daai groot tenk aan die regter kant van jou enjin voor? Lug-e...

jsrossouw

Hilux owners dont wave at eachother when passing by. They look at each other's tyres and compare size. I hope one day to be the one smiling and nodding back and not the one that avoids eye contact.

jsrossouw

Ayobaness is directly proportionate to tyre size and ride height.

jsrossouw

Ek besit presies die bakkie wat jy soek en elke keer as ek kyk na 'n foto of 'n clip van die SFA dan is ek regtig spuit oor my besluit. By gese, elke keer as ek ry in my IFS glimlag ek, en elke keer as ek park en somewhere loop kyk ek ten minste een keer terug en admire die Ayobaness van my bakkie. ...

jsrossouw

Hi Otto, Thanks, will check into the Deltech. I have a dual battery system installed but it has not monitors installed. Very simple, got a knob under the bonnet that I switch the system to dual battery, single battery or switch between different batteries. Then I also have welding cables running alo...

jsrossouw

Thanks Otto. What is a good price for a deep cycle battery? I saw ones at outdoor warehouse for R1600 but thought that was a bit steap compared to normal ones. I see national luna has a product that you can connect on the battery that shows you with LED's how much charge the battery still has left. ...

jsrossouw

Ha, lanklaas vir julle vertel wat aangaan met my bakkie. Sideshaft was toe lekker install. Alles loop toe goed maar na die installation rattle die bakkie as ek oor 100 gaan. Na 2 wheel balancing doen die ding dit nogsteeds. Ons haal toe weer die wiele af om te kyk of die seals nog lek. Daar was so b...

jsrossouw

Ah brilliant, thanks guys, this is exactly the feedback I wanted. I am enquiring for a friend. I think his plan is to replace the little fridge he has in his caravan. So it will be strictly used for weekends. He has a wife and a baby and the caravan's fridge is too small for a 2L bottle of coke. I d...

jsrossouw

Hi Guys, Which is better? National Luna 50-litre Twin Weekender or the National Luna 52-litre Weekender? Is there not technical problems or practicallity problems with the split fridge freezer combo? And is the 2liter difference worth having the split? Your opinions on this matter are greatly apprec...

jsrossouw

Nice!!

jsrossouw

SFA wins hands down. Not even an arctic truck conversion will make a new shape look beter than the SFA.

jsrossouw

We did it the other day. We did skilpad but we could not do the tough rocky part once you get up the hill. The rain washed away all the sand that keeps the rocks steady so that path is a mess. They did it the day before we got there and every 4x4 in the group got stuck except the guide's defender. T...

jsrossouw

janee, ek sit oop op die punt van my stoel om nog pics van die monster te sien. :D :D :D :D

jsrossouw

Hi Shaun,

Congrats!!! Really good looking bakkie.

I heard you can fit a pair of 33" onna standard sfa but I might be wrong.

Enjoy it!

jsrossouw

Hi Jurgen,

Ek het nie aan die propshaft geraak nie. Well miskien het ek en ek weet nie daarvan nie :wth: Ek het net die sideshaft uitgetrek en uitgesort en teruggesit.

jsrossouw

Hi, Ek het omlangs werk op my agterste sideshaft laatdoen/gedoen. Nou na als begin die bakkie bietjie bewe op 100km/h. Ek het nie die wheel bearing vervang nie. Kan dit die wheel bearing wees wat dit veroorsaak. Ek het gister die bakkie by HiQ gehad vir 'n wheel balancing en rotation en hy doen dit ...

jsrossouw

Ag Dankie Solly. Nuwe update op die brieke saga. Was vandag by N1 City se toyota om die bearing uit te press. Toe wys hulle my dat die vorige ou het die hele saak verkeerd opgesit. Dis seker hoekom die seels seergekry het. Hy het twee collars onder die abs rotor gesit en toe nog een na die rotor. Op...

jsrossouw

Ai ja jai. Ons het gister die brieke gestrip en dit draai uit dis nie die wheel cylinder nie. Daar lek toe diff olie in die drom in. Ons moes die hele side shaft uithaal en gaan nou maar 'n hele bearing job doen met seals en als.

jsrossouw

Thanks Mark, sal graag daai kiekies will sien

jsrossouw

I need a book or something! My swarry is a merc mechanic and will do all the work for a bottle of jack. He prolly has that tool stuffs I will suggest the slave cylinder kit idea to him. I am clueless in this area so I will repeat your word exactly. Thanks Andy.

jsrossouw

Hi, I have the same configuration with the long range tank in the space where the spare wheel must be and then the spare wheel on top of it and it does get bashed when you deal with drops. My extra tank is now I little flatter. I am also going the wheel carrier route but only one and on a burnco bum...

jsrossouw

Ai, Ek het my roadworthy gefail :( :( :( My Agter linker briek werk nie. Die ding is sop nat van brake fluid. My swaer se dis net die wheel cylinder wat in sy tjops is. Sal dit moet vervang. Ek het nou rond gebel en die stealers vra R600 vir so wheel cylinder en Midas vra R100. Is dit dan 'n pirate ...

jsrossouw

I was proud of my spares box until my 2 boxers got hold of it last night. They destroyed a set of ignition coils.

Needless to say, I hammered the doggy door shut!

jsrossouw

Hi, I am lewking for a good camp site in Mozambique. In-laws are regulars but they only go to Paradise Magoo's camping site which is not an option this year because there are non-4x4ers comming along and you need a 4x4 to access the camp site. Any good campsites you guys know of? I had a look at sun...

jsrossouw

Dis maar soos met visvang ook, dit gaan nie oor hoeveel vis jy vang nie, dis die experiance of entertainment wat saak maak.

jsrossouw

Haha, my kennis van my eie land is ook maar swak. Ek het net gekyk na jou avatar en gereken Phalaborwa is rof ver van my af want ek sien nog nie krokodiles wat goed rond dra in hulle bek in die straat af loop nie. Beste wat ek nog gesien het is by rugby was daar so alsation wat in die pad af geloop ...

Righto, jou thread is officially un-hijacked:

Hey ouens, Ek will graag met my pa en skoonbroer gaan jag maar ek weet nie regtig van nice wilds plase nie. Weet iemand nie van 'n plek waar ek kan gaan jag wat nie te duur vra vir hulle wild nie?

jsrossouw

Hey, ek is gewild, weet net nie waar vierlanden is nie. Weet tien teen een maar my kop is 'n sif. Ja ons kort 'n secret hoot dat jy kan weet dit kom van die ouens op die forum af. Anders staan jy die kans dat ek of my co-pilot signs uit die ruit uit gooi :D: :D: :D: Jy ken mos CPT drivers. Ek het no...

jsrossouw

Jammer Andre,ek wil nou nie jou thread hijack nie maar weet iemand nie van 'n plek waar mens redelik goedkoop kan gaan wild skiet nie?

jsrossouw

Hi Shaun,

Have you considered the SFA hilux? It goes for around R50k and it is all you need in an offroader. I am sure it can literally drive straight over a bantam bakkie

jsrossouw

Ag dankie Pieter, dis al wat ek wou hoor.

Janee, dis baie lekker om te 4x4. Ek gaan nou die naweek skurwekop loop doen, bietjie bang want ek weet nog nie veel nie maar die mense se dis maklik, level 3 of iets.

jsrossouw

Hi Guys, 05072009139.jpg My first offroad pics ever. Went to Agulhas this weekend and my dad showed me some stuff. Jinne offroading is fun. Had an interesting situation this weekend. I went to the shop to buy electricity and I locked the bakkie. I forgot the card in the bakkie so I had to go back to...

Ek het "Hilux Forum" gegoogle.

jsrossouw

Thanks for all the nice replies. Had a look in the fuse box by the engine and took out every fuse and inspected it and put it back. All were fine. I saw about 4 relays but I dunno if I can just pull those out and see if they are fine. Should I also look in the fuse box in the dash? Other thing, I re...

jsrossouw

Ok, ek was lunchtime game toe en het toe die black&dekker gekoop. Dit was funny, die lower watt en bar b&d was R100 duurder as die een wat ek gekoop het want dit was op special. Hy het soap receptical. Weet nie wat se compressor ek gekoop het nie maar hy was R400. Dis die tent wat ek na kyk ...

jsrossouw

Hi ouens (Is daar ooit vrouens op die forum?), Daar is 3 goed wat ek will koop nou dat ek my bakkie het en ek soek net bietjie input van julle af. 1) Lekker sterk dome tent wat my lank sal hou. Ek het gekyk na howling moon se strata tente en dit lyk nogals nice vir nie bad prys nie. R2700. Dis 'n ti...

jsrossouw

Ja, ek soek ook nou al lank al vir 'n nice 1600X1050 background met 'n hilux in maar al wat ek tot dusver toe gekry het is daai monster truck wat hulle op topgear gehad het met die arctic race.

jsrossouw

Would have loved to but I am going to Agulas for the weekend, maybe play around on dunes, apparently really good training grounds.

jsrossouw

Sorry, dis al wat ek nou kon vind. Die geel skaaptralies is nou swart, lol.

jsrossouw

Hey dankie ouens. Die Luv is my pa sin, sal soek virre foto of twee. Daai ding is 'n stuk yster. Hy was baie netjies voor my pa-hulle hom geroll het op die hou-hoek pass (weetie of dit reg gespell is nie). Hulle het hom nou gerestoreer tot waar hy nou is maar hy is nog nie 100% nie. Dankie vir die i...

jsrossouw

Took ownership of my bakkie on friday. Took it up the swartberg pass on saturday. Awsome owning a bakkie like this. The previous owner took it to sac for the cam and chip and freeflow so it has lots of grunt. Getting about 8 km/l. Got a dual battery system, 120L long range tank. 2 12V sockets infron...

Ek will net gou tyres met julle praat. Wat is die grootste tyres wat ek kan fit op my hilux na 'n full OME kit? Ek verneem dit is 31x10.50x15 op 'n hilux met niks gepeuter aan sy suspension nie. Wat se tyres is goed? Soos ek verstaan is die BFG nogals goed met sy triguard sidewalls maar ek laaik nog...

jsrossouw

petrol, die eienaar het hom gechip en freeflow en die cam gedoen en nou skop hy so 113kw uit. Sal vandag paar kiekies neem en post.

jsrossouw

Found my Hilux today!! 2002 with 120000 on the clock. Really neat, the guy serviced the bakkie every 5000. Just needs a set of tyres and maybe OME. Taking the keys this friday. Very excited :D :D :D

:D :D :D

jsrossouw

Hi Guys, I am not finding any luck in my search. The problem is if you get a pre-2004 hilux with low mileage (<= 150000) its that over priced legend one with the bull bars and rock sliders made of tin foil. The really good ones all have over 200000kms on. If you go new hilux, they are just way too p...

jsrossouw

Hay, thanks for all the responses guys. You convinced me, I will stick to my previous game plan of buying a 2.7 petrol. Now its just a matter of finding one
