Hilux 4x4 Forum

I fixed it, is it better now?

I did a version update just now. If there are any issues please let me know.

Hallo Roofer, regarding your Nissan snorkel. I saw one today where Francois from 4xLux fitted a Ford Ranger snorkel to such a Nissan. Note that it will be a modification, so there will be no template, etc. Code for snorkel is SFR07A You can also ask Safari Centre or 4x4Megaworld if they have the spe...

Me too, that is why I wanted it today.

Everything is in, management system is in and engine started. Only dash have to be put back. On Tuesday Hoppy said he will himself install the dash on Tuesday because he wants to make sure there are no rattles. We agreed that I can fetch the vehicle today. When I got there today the dash was still l...

Yes, is epoxy, the one you mix with a hardener, they use it for commercial floors.

My garage's floor never was very strong, it degenerated over time and lately the steel wheels of the trolley jack pushed holes in the floor. So we removed the old skreed and replaced with a new, stronger skreed. I decided to epoxy coat it this time. The whole garage got a bit of a revamped and clean...

Thank you Steff I already installed one of those magentic pic ups for the distributor, replacing the points. I asked the guys from Dictator and they replied "A Dicktator std will work Fuel only with this setup." Isn't Dictator less complicated than spitronics? I have no experience in these, seems li...

Dankie Cassie

Did anyone install one of these yet? I want to install one on my old Datsun L28 engine, but it still have an old points distributor. The guys at Webcon said I can look at a MicroSquirt management system as it is simple and cheap and can get signal from the coil's + and -, but I checked their site ou...

Shoe, 105 Cruiser en V8 Lexus, dan kan die boks nie te vrot wees nie.
Dankie vir daardie inligting.

Here is an interesting video about GL4 and GL5, BUT, also check the test the guy did with same viscosity of oils of different brands. This might explain why some oils result in sticky gears and others not. The video will start at 11:35 because before that he just shows how he strips a gearbox. Enjoy...

Dankie vir die terugvoer Johan. Ek het iewers op die forum lank terug ook gelees as jy in D iets swaar teen lang bult sleep raak ratkas warm, dan maak wat jy sê oor die lock up sin, so as mens sleep moet jy hom maar self lock.

Roofer is 97 still that sqr box shape? Or is it the shape they still use today?

Do you know what went wrong?

This guy is in Nam, most of his driving is long distance

Thank you for pointing that out Brian. It is because I had our own unique dies made, so the alu tubing you now buy is our own design.
So far we have for 25mm and 19mm which fits nicely.

Got it to work now,

I think Builders warehouse also stock it, but with most shops you must buy a packed of each fitting, you cannot buy it individually as you can do at your favorite online 4x4 Accessory store.

Maizey plastics also do them, but they only have branches in PE and East London. Connect it's web site is rather useless, I cannot get it to search your area. If I type in George it gives me Centurion results. See if you can find it, maybe if it picks up your location via your ip you might have succ...

My heavy wants to buy a 2014 D4D auto.

How reliable are these auto boxes ?
Are there any known issues?
How does consumption of Auto compare to Manual?

The trokkie only has 77k km on the clock.

I already told him about the Toyota Injector issue.

They tend to rust above the gutters. If you can see that it has been resprayed, focus on that area. The whole area, from front to back on the sides , just above the gutter. One of the 60 models are prone to develop a loose crank pulley, but I think it is the 2F, not sure. Otherwise I do not know of ...

Oh, that is cool, thanx Andy

Mens is nooit te oud om te leer nie !

Ek dink daai gaan van persoon tot persoon afhang. Op partye forums kan mens stel hoeveel posts per blad jy kan sien en ek gaan stel myne altyd na die maks, op een van die forums sien ek 100 posts per blad. Rede is omdat ek alles wil sit en lees en nie heeltyd wil rondblaai. Dit gaan baie afhang hoe ...

Seems fine, Andy can you also test it please

Checking to see if problem was fixed

I changed the forum to be on httpS

If you experience any problems please let me know

Did you unplug the plug at the tank like Dirka said in his post?
Unplug the plug and see if it goes to E

Disconnect the 5-pin pump and guage connector at the tank.
Switch on the ignition.
Fuel guage must show E..for empty..as in nothing..all the way down.

The third mounting point you refer to is a swivel point and you do not have to lower that one.

Nee, JohanPrado van 4x4Direct

We just sell the spacers seperately. Most guys make a plan for the rest.

I like the steering extension in that kit you refer to, it is a good idea.

That is brilliant, is a much safer option, thanx for sharing.

Yes is two way action. It sucks the oil from the container into the syringe. If you want to suck out old oil you can just remove the bottle and extend the hose that goes into the bottle. They also have a model without the bottle, but it was only R30 cheaper than the one with bottle, so I opted for t...

I bought myself one of these two months ago and liked it so much that I bought stock for our shops today. If you ever had to fill a gearbox or diff with those stupid, leaking little bottles, you will appreciate this syringe. Fill your Hilux's diff within seconds. You can get yours at http://www.4x4d...

Best is to remove the radiator, just make everything so much easier. The spanner on bolt and swing engine trick works great, but I prefer an impact wrench. If you wanna do the spanner trick I will still remove the radiator because if the spanner flies the wrong direction you will be minus a radiator...

Happy days Pieter!

The classifieds department has a limitation where you can only post once you have more than 10 post under the belt. It is for preventing people from registering with the sole purpose to use the forum as advertising medium. I will see what I can do for you.

Thank you for the offer Shaakir, I will keep that in mind.

In 2012 I went with JohannesVanDieSee to meet some more Hilux friends at Road To Hell. It is such a beautiful area and I also wanted to show Elmi the area. So this long weekend we did not have anywhere to go, so we decided to head that way. Since the Hilux is still in Hospital, we had to stretch the...

Dit sal baie gaaf wees, dankie Cassie.

I need the help of a web developer/programmer who can help me to fix the capacha code on the Hilux Club registration page.
The page is written in php and it uses a MySql Db. Google changed the capacha coding some time back and we need to implement the new code.

Anybody out there who can help please

http://www.tritorq.co.za/ is in Cape Town

That is a very good price, thanx for sharing

There was one on Gumtree about a year ago for R30k, it was in good condition.

Tomorrow morning (21 July 2018) at 08h00, 4x4 Direct Montana will officially open their doors for business. I would like to welcome Robbie van Onselen to the 4x4 Direct team and I wish him a big success for his business. The shop is situated just off Zambezi drive at Unit 9 Calliandra Place Cnr Call...

An old V8 mechanic down the road told me it is the best way to adjust air correction screw. I did google search and it seems like the Yanks love these gauges and use it all the time. The one video I checked the guy even showed how you can see where the sweet spot on your timing is with the vacuum ga...

Anybody ever used a vacuum gauge to set your air correction screw or timing?

If there ain't any holes you can fit rivnuts, that is what I did with my IFS Hilux when I installed Prado 90 grab handles

SO? What happened? Did you buy the Benz?

Yes, release stress to prevent cracking of welds and warping. It was welded onto the table when they welded it and when they did the heat treatment.

Don't see a drain plug?

Toyotas don't consume oil, once it is in, it stays there.

The beauty is that the drain plug can now be added to an easy to reach position.

The engine was fitted, engine mountings manufactured, BUT there is not enough space for the sump. So Allen manufactured a sump. The sump must be able to take at least 5 liters since there is about 3.5 liters in circulation while the engine is running. They will also change the oil pickup to fit in t...

Vra vir google vir plekke wat CV joints herbou. Ons het nou die dag vir 'n Prado 90 ook gesoek, omtrent selfde prys vir een. Toe kry ons by http://www.tritorq.co.za/ in die Kaap 'n hele herboude as met 2 CV joints, boots en alles, vir iets soos R3k. Die as is so dat jy net die ou een uithaal en die ...

Because it is smaller, falls into the small SUV market where they have none. The small SUV is the more "affordable" market, like Jimny, some other small Suzuki's, Ford Eco Sport, etc. Small SUV is not necessarily 4x4

Ek het ook 31" Coopers op my 1999 IFS Hilux en daar is geen probleme nie.

Does the alternator have a vacuum pump at the back?

Look at the stats at : https://businesstech.co.za/news/motoring/256217/top-10-best-selling-suvs-and-crossovers-in-south-africa/ Toyota is loosing out on the compact SUV market. Glad to see they now have this: https://www.wheels24.co.za/NewModels/baby-fortuner-for-sa-toyota-in-a-rush-to-take-on-compa...

10 ton bottle jacks are not too expensive at the spare shops and is much higher. Agree, use wood blocks for extra height.
