Hilux 4x4 Forum

Yes Hoppy, I'm also wanting 25 mm for a single cab SFA (CAB & LOAD BIN) Price please!

I dare you to check his prostate!

Rob, I sent you a pm. What's your plan with the 5L? I'm looking for one.

Thabo, you're absolutely right. Amazing how much easier it is to fit a Ford engine to a Lux than a genuine Toyota engine, other than of course doing a "plug and play" fitting of a 5L. My needs are fairly simple; I would like to cruise at 110-120 and have as close to (or preferably no less ...

Pers Kers, nee nie regtig nie, maar ek dink hierdie enjins sal vrek duur wees. Weereens dink ek 'n mens sal dan moet rondspeel met diff ratio's, bell housings, en, en, en. :roll:

Guys, it would be really helpful if those who have converted their 4Y's, 2L's & 3L's to whatever other 4 or 6 cylinder Toyota engine, publish a parts and references list like SifuLux did; http://www.hilux4x4.co.za/views/download/file.php?id=4967. Costs and source references for all parts, togeth...

Ja Jan, dan vertel jy my jy's 'n armgat! Gaan maar vir die Vet-6. Hoppy reken die Toyota turbo kit vir die 2L2-T mag dalk net op my 2L pas. Maar ek onthou hoe lekker het my ou Hilux met die V6 geloop en ek dink, en dink, en wonder. OK, so waar in die Kaap is Maverick 4x4? Daai 3.3 liter klink nogal ...

Go for the 3.oL. I had a JT3000 conversion with the German Cologne version in my old Lux from a Ford 20M. If you can get one of these, you're in the pound seats. Had a lot more torque than the Essex version. This I know as a mate of mine had an Essex with Wildcat branches en all and going up Fishers...

Thanks Hoppy! Clearly this is not an option.

Thanks Dadz, will do!

Gents, do any of you know if someone/anyone (preferably in Cape Town) has successfully built a 3.4L 3B engine (Land Cruiser BJ 40/Dyna) into a SFA Hilux? I bought my Hilux with a 5L 3Litre (replaced the original 2.8) fitted and although she runs quite nicely, I would prefer better inherent reliabili...

Nee wat Manne. You gents know a lot about Hilux bakkies, but you can't lip-read. Check those Toi-toing smilies carefully. They aren't screaming YEEEEHA, they are chanting; Jacob, Jacob, Jacob

Ja Snipes, daai een

YIP! (So where's the drum-roll smiley?) You are all 100% correct. :clap: It was only the battery and the load test showed that the alternator is charging at 14.2V. Battery problem SOLVED. (and where's the yeeeeeeha smiley)You guys can all take a bow. Thanks again! I can see myself using up my entire...

Thanks Gentlemen! :thumbup: Your advice is appreciated. The battery is 5 years + old and I spoke to a buddy of mine who is in the game and in the know late last night and you are all correct. I will in any event invest in a new battery and keep the old one as back-up. I will also do the load test to...

I drove my newly acquired SFA Double cab Hilux from PE to Bellville yesterday and was on the road for about 9 hours. This morning when I wanted to start the vehicle the battery was almost completely dead. I managed to swing the motor for about 2 seconds. By late this afternoon, I noticed that the im...
