Hilux 4x4 Forum

If you have one of these pliers those are actually very good clamps.
Radiator cap must be right on top of the radiator.

If you rebuild it you know what you have. If you buy 2nd hand you never know what you get.

Phone Gremeltech in CPT, 021 511 4615 , they do air suspensions, maybe they have a replacement.

I have a bullbar for sale for SFA Hilux.
It is still in very good condition.
Still on vehicle, will take it off when sold.

Price - R1,000.00

I am in Langebaan but can arrange courier in RSA at an extra cost.

Send me a PM or contact me on 0834315841 if you are interested.

: Hilux Bullbar

If it is 45mm longer does that mean that it will stick out under the cross member? Exposing it to damage while offroading? If it stick out under the cross member that is the only reason I can think of not using it.

Baie mooi, lekker om so ou een te sien wat nog gebruik word

Die een oom by ons wat yskaste regmaak reken die pypies van die NL roes juis lekker as die kas min gebruik word. Dus is min gebruik op 'n NL nie noodwendig beter nie.

A dealership will not give you much. They are not into buying 2nd hand cars. They will give you a slightly better price if your trade it in on something on which they can make a profit. You might get a better deal from webuycars.co.za. Post the details on their web site and they will give you a pric...

I never worked on a D4D before, but I know some turbo diesels have a vacuum pump and do not draw vacuum from the manifold like petrol engines. If your D4D has a vacuum pump I will also check it out for a possible cause. Start with the vacuum lines like Andy suggested, it is the cheapest part to star...

I changed all the oil on a SFA this week and the rear diff filler plug was damaged in the process to get it loose. The same happened with my 2.7's gearbox a while ago. Where I stay you wait for any parts you need, spare shops hardly keep anything in stock. We do however have a Bolts Galore 100 metre...

I fitted a MrCarMan electronic ignition module to a 4y this week. The 4y did have a bit of a hesitation when you pull away, almost like a flat spot. After installing the McCarman the flat spot was gone. The engine is much more responsive with the McCarMan Electronic ignition system . This is actuall...

Eerste keer ek hoor van verskillende grease vir verskillende CV. CV vat gewoonlik sulke swart MS grease

Clean the housing in the area of the brace and inspect for possible cracks in the housing.

Same here, Mayfair Gearbox in Brackenfell rebuilt my KZ box and the problem has also been solved. Is a pleasure to drive it now.

Baie dankie Hennie. Dit maak sin.

I am about to replace the riempies on an old chair. I see the article below refer to "hard" riempies which you have to soak first in order to get them soft. http://www.suzandy.co.uk/Riempie%20instructions.pdf I however bought soft white riempies, not the hard ones. Question now is, must I ...

I found with new master sometimes an airlock in master. Dont pump wildly like most peoole do, press peddle slowly in, keep it there for 2 or 3 seconds, then release. On one of my vehicles that solved the problem

Did you double and tripple check bleeding

New shoes and new drums was supposed to fix it.
What happens when you tie the proportion valve up so the vehicle think that it is fully loaded. When fully loaded it will brake more at the rear.

Agree with you, I do not like ABS on gravel road or while 4x4'ing either. If the diff lock switches off the ABS maybe that is where you should start looking. Maybe somehow send the same signal from the diff lock to the ABS so the ABS think that diff lock is on even if it is not. I think my Hilux (19...

Was looking at my sticker this weekend and realised that this year it is the Hilux's 50th aniversary.

That is good news, you saved yourself a lot of money

Bought mine on amazon

Die een lyk meer eg, die ou het 'n FB bladsy ook

mmmmm, lyk soos 'n scam, kyk die bande in Kemptonpark is dieselfde foto, hy is net 90 grade gedraai

Watse BF?

Daar is 'n ad vir A/T op OLX en die ou is in Arcadia

Hier is so ander ou op die forum, George , Hy het in 2012 Afrika getoer met sy standaard 2.7 Hilux. Hy kan vir jou nogal baie advies gee. George het intussen 'n Prado eienaar geword, maar elke keer wat hy verby my Hilux loop sien ek steeds so leë, hartseer uitdrukking op sy gesig. Ek sal hom bietjie...

Jou trokkie het klaar die regte bande op en sy kilos is eintlik laag, ek het my trokkie in 2007 gekoop met 340k km op.
Sy raak nou so amper aan 500k km

Nee jy het beslis nie die enjin nodig nie. Daar is niks fout met 'n 2.7 nie. Ek het dit net gedoen omdat karre, groot enjins en 'n diep brul een van my passies in die lewe is. Net so standaard is daar niks fout met 'n 2.7 as toervoertuig nie. Soos reeds genoem is opdraendes en sleep wat hom onderkry...

Danie het jy al vir Benja by Mortimer in Vredenburg gevra, hy het baie kennis van Hiluxe. Soos Andy sê, diesel het nie krag nodig om te loop. In die ou dae het jy 'n diesel doodgemaak met 'n kabel wat jy getrek het wat die brandstof op die pomp afgesny het, vandag doen 'n solonoid daai werk. Ek dink...

Sorry see the pic now. Do you perhaps have one of the others? Take it to a Bolt and Nut shop and ask them for a simular high tensile replacement. Will probably be a M10 with 1.25 pitch. Only difference is the original will take a 14 spanner and the replacement will take a 17 spanner.

which bolt?

Nick my 3.4 Prado enjin gee vir my selfde verbruik as die 2.7 , met net meer krag. Daar is wel 'n verskilletjie en dit is op hoë spoed bly my verbruik min of meer dieselfde waar op 'n 2.7 val hy na 5km/l as jy 150 ry, maar dit is nie wat jy doen as jy toer nie. Vir 'n toervoertuig is die 2.7 seker d...

Might as well get a new set from 4x4 Direct then you have greasable shackles and new bushes:

I also had a spare wheel tank but took it out, takes ages to fill

Not sure, I sent Steve a PM to say I want to take it but he have not read it yet.

Try turpentine or parafin or petrol.
I took mine off with turpentine

If this do not work get Autosol

It is worth investigating, I did a Google search and saw some good things about KYB, is just not well known in South Africa.

Good to "see" you again Steve, I sent you a pm

First time I hear of KYB, I currently have Monroe and do not have problems.

Bly jy kon dit regkry.
Mens kan soms darem lank soek na 'n klein foutjie.

Andy, courier will cost you about R5k

If it is the metal pipe, the one goes to the fuel tank's breather and I think the other is just an open end breather for the canister. My vehicle not with me today.

That canister is the carbon canister which only get rid of the petrol fumes in the petrol tank and run them through the engine. Mine was disconnected it for a long time. The first thing to start with is just plug all open vacuum holes. A short piece of pipe with a bolt in works well. If the engine s...

Did anybody find a solution to the 1999-2005 Hilux diff lock which does not disengage? I changed my motor and I cleaned the mechanism inside the diff. I though the problem was fixed, for more than a year now, but today it got stuck again. Only way I could get it unlocked was to jack up the left rear...

The solar lights are noce, I love the idea that you just screw them on a wall and they work, no wiring or anything. Makes it much easier to light up your area. What is also awesome about some of them is the day / night function, so after you installed it you forget about them, they just go on and of...

That is very cool Andy.

Tristan I like your bumper. Going to look awesome when done.

weather vane?

So if it turns it means the wind is blowing?

If water drips from it, it means it is raining?

That is good news, welcome back

Thanx Andy, that is a very good price.

In the video below the guy shows the method I used on my Treg

Or you can buy such a bearing ouller kit from Adendorfs, it is super handy

On my old Touareg I had to cut it with a baby grinder on 2 sides until almost through and then hit it with a chisel to split it.

Nice trokkie. We get good feedback from the WildDog bumpers. They streamlined and not as thick as many of the others. Johan at our Vredenburg branch also fitted one to his Prado 120. I am sure these are not going to have such a big effect on the fuel consumption. https://4x4direct.co.za/hilux-and-fo...

Nowadays you get special MAF sensor cleaners, our Autozone sells some. I've always usued carb cleaner until I saw these at Autozone. Used the MAF sensor cleaner the last time. Cannot say that it makes a difference. https://ggstore.co.za/product/crc-sensor-clean-mass-airflow-11wtoz-325/ A couple of y...

Bestel maar solank twee van daai boute by Toyota.

Kanse goed dat hulle afgesny gaan word.

The cheapies you refer to are probably those heat exchanger coolers and not a fridge. They are noisy and not very effective. I camped for many many years with a cooler box and ice. A coolerbox like a coleman with some ice will keep everything cool for a weekend. I take 500ml water or coldrink bottle...

Ek het myne by Supa Quick laat doen lank terug. Lower control arm se voorste bush is 'n probleem. Daar is daai bout met so off centre kop wat jy gebruik om die allignment te stel, soms roes hy vas in die bush. Dan is daar ook een van die bushes wat so moeilik uitkom dat die ouens hom soms uit brand ...
