Hilux 4x4 Forum

I used to get "gout" attacks each winter when all my friends go hunting and bring back Wildsbiltong. Later on I believed it was the veal and stopped eating that. After seferal years of suffering my wife read a book and read something about Chilblains. I stopped walking kaalvoet in the winter morning...

Tertius is dit die plek naby Velddrif?

I imported a 38/38 Retrojet for my L28 . Haven't fitted it yet, but I did get 2x extra which I now have stock at our Vredenburg store. I did not get the wire harness, the price was a bit crazy. You will need a basic Dictator to run it. Available at: https://4x4direct.co.za/online-only/9425-retroject...

What I normally do to get an idea of what is reasonable is to get a quote for spares and machine work. Get a quote from Autozone or Midas for: 4x pistons 1x ring set (Note with some cars you get piston and ring sets complete) 1x main bearing set 1x big end bearing set 1x full gasket set - Victor Rei...

6k is very cheap.
If you do it, do it properly, otherwise you will just have to do it again soon.

If you say the guy's quote includes replacing a dodgy crank, does that mean you already stripped the motor?

Shoe, dankie dat jy dit gedeel het. Dit lyk na 'n baie lekker trip.
Baie goeie verslag.

Tumelo on the forum's KZ almost caught fire due to the roof light. I am not sure what the cause was of his problem but it did start at the roof light. Wort stripping out the roof light and start looking there.

No experience with Conti , but also get a price on Yokohoma Geolander G15 , they not much expensive. I have it on my Touareg and is impressed with it. Did many gravel miles and so far no punctures. Many people say a T-reg eats a set of tyres within 40k km, the tyres now did 20k tyres and still have ...

Saw something interresting today.

How many of you knew that a VVTi has a oil filter on the head which filters the oil for the VVTi system?

This video shows it for some Toyota 4 cylinder but apparently the V6 has the same.

Ha Ha, Eric, I have considered it. If I ever have to buy a station wagon it will be a Prado 90.
I just cannot stand rattles and having all my camping stuff rattling in the back is why I still be prefer the Hilux.

Interresting. Now I know why my mom's 2.4 camry uses oil. Thanx Andy

How is the 5vz going?

Still an absolute pleasure to drive. Best thing I ever did to my Hilux.

Havent seen you for a while Steve. Seems like you have a collection of 80 Cruizers now, how do you choose which one to use?

mmmmm, my 1999 Hilux's brakes are always screeming. Was worst with Feredos and still there with ATE.

Maybe I should try these softies and see if it solve the screeming problem.

Net so bietjie terugvoer vir jou, ek het die snorkel wat ek op die Fortuner gehad het so 5 jaar terug by jou nog in Langebaan kom koop en laat opsit en die ding het nog soos nuut gelyk toe ek die wa verkoop het. Baie impressed! :thumbup: :thumbup: Altyd lekker om sulke goed te hoor, dankie. :thumbup:

Baie geluk, hy lyk nog mooi

Selling my 3RZ , 2.7 Hilux engine. Is in good running condition. Comes complete with computer box, coils, starter, alternator, power steering pump. The Sachs clutch on it have not done 100k km yet, so is still good. I bought this engine in 2012 and according to the seller at the time it had 98k km o...

Lyk reg ja

I test many lights and these remain my favorite:

Have them on my Hilux as well.

Depends on how loose it is. If the casing is worn much with very loose fit I doubt if loctite will hold it, the notches works better. If it is just loose with almost no play loctite will be good. If the casing is not damaged you can either just put it back as is or for safety apply some loctite if y...

I welded flat bar (angle iron will be better) on the inside of the bumper bracket underneath the chassis. This prevent the bumper bracket from moving up when you hit the tow bar on the ground.

Where the ID of the bearing slides over the alu casing of the aircon, check for play there. If the bearing is stuck it tends to eat away the alu in which case the new bearing will not fit loosely. The aircon guy around the corner from me recons that when the bearing turns on the casing you need a ne...

Got mine from Bearing distributors in Vredenburg and I think they also ordered from JHB.

Stephan I had the issue with my aircon this year. It is very easy to replace the bearing. That bolt should not be difficult to get off, an impact wrench will help but It mine of just with a little impact from the palm of my hand on the wrench. Grinding noise most probably from the clutch which is wo...

What globes to you use? Standard old school globes or LED?

Thanx Andy, Did mine yesterday and for the first time since I bought my bakkie the wipers are working better.
I removed the wiper arms in order to properly get to the shafts.

Dankie julle, dis klomp nice fotos.

Thank you to each person who participated and to our supporters.

For those who weren't there , this is what the shirts looked like:

: Hilux Club Shirt

Sometimes a bit harder to press down on a high vehicle like Hilux, so what I do is I put my back against the vehicle at rear wheel and quickly lift it on the wheel arch and leave it. Has the same effect.

Pleasure, eagerly awaiting some pics.

Neil I emailed it to your work address.

Ronel received these 9 entries for Satruday.
Drivers' fees were paid this morning.

Thanx Johan, ek sien jy het al die baan gaan toets.

T-Shirts have been ordered and they promised to deliver it to Neil on Thursday.

I placed the order for shirts, everybody up to MCW who responded are included.
I also got some extras on XL and XXL so if somebody did not give his shirt size we will see if there is something which will fit them.

Ronel says she only received 3x entry forms so far. Will the rest please complete their forms and send it to either myself or Quentin. my email is pieter@4x4direct.co.za So far Ronell received Arne Lombard Martin Weideman Jacques Bothma I attached the form again for those who missed it Vehicle booki...

Thank you, I will have to place the order by 09h30 otherwise shirts will not be ready in time.
I think for those who have not responded I will sommer order some L and XL shirts and hope it fits them.

Mine was stiff due to fanbelt which was not adjusted tight enough, but does not sound like you fiddled with the fanbelt.
You did not perhaps spill oil on the pulley?
Or if you did loosen the fanbelt, check that you adjusted it properly afterwards.

Yes please, driver and co driver

Try Saplings in Strand, they supply hardware stores of Nutec products. I was looking for Nutec Victorian sheets and they gave me details of one of their clients who helped me.

As previously mentioned the entrance fee for drivers is sponsored. We need 2x more vehicles / drivers 1x vehicle back up team for if somebody cannot make it for some reason 4x Marshals for the obstacle ( at least 4 and if all drivers pitch the extra driver can help with marshalling.)

Think we will first have to see if we can fill the team.

I have some good news for you. The Hilux Club and 4x4 Direct are going to do a combined sponsor. We will sponsor an obstacle at the event and we will sponsor the entrance fees for the participants in the Hilux Club Team. And if we can get the team full in time and get all pilots and co pilts shirt s...

Happens to many old carb engines. While standing the fuel in the float chamber evaporates. Next time you want to start it, the mechanical fuel pump must first fill the float chamber before it will start. A way around this is to convert to an electrical fuel pump. SO you can switch the car on, let th...

Welcome Stefan. Will be following your project, so please post updates as you continue.

Did you receive the PM I sent you?

If it backfires through carb your timing is to fast, if it backfires through exhaust your timing is too slow.

Auto Magneto also do rebuilds. I normally use them, they do good work.

Start with the cheepest item, replace the spark plugs. If still there replace the plug leads, if still there let somebody check out the injectors.

You will have to yes, we haven't seen the final product yet.
