Let's hope today is better. There was just something about that accident that "got to me" yesterday, and all I saw was crumbled metal NO bodies. On that stretch of road you OFTEN find trucks trying to overtake other trucks, then pulling into the fast lane at a SLOW speed. I have had to sta...

So bietjie nuttelose inligting .... Die pype wat so opgaan as druk-klep - 10,3m = 1bar = 100kPa So as daai pyp so 2m hoog staan is dit maar net 20 kPa, eintlik n baie LAE druk. Beslis nie genoeg om n toestel so op te blaas nie. Die druk-kleppe begin maar hier by 100kPa en gaan dan op na 400kPa of se...

WHAT a morning !! Perfect weather, nice ride out to a site along the N1 to Paarl. Slight fender bender on the Cape town bound lane, around the R300. Probably 3 or 4 cars that will need body work, but no signs of people that got hurt. Bit of rubbernecking on our side but traffic flows nicely. Then as...

One step closer for Elders :thumbup: Second battery was just wired. Warn relay, fuese at either end of the positive wire, metal glands where the wires pass through the body .... all the good tips that have been so graciously shared here have been used. :thumbup: Now to wire the distribution box and ...

laat ek liewer op my hande sit ...... GRRRRRR

Daai vw ouens moes iemand gekontrakteer het om daai te skryf .... GEEN manier wat hulle self soveel waarheid in een paragraaf kon sit nie.

Het juis laas die manne so staan en kyk by Atlantis duine ..... toe later n klompie seuns sien speel met karre in n sandput ...... net die prys van die speelgoed ..... O - jonner !!! ek het SELF by Atlantis gespeel !!! Nou my voet vol gate geskiet ..... Aag wat, dit is darem lekker om te kan speel. ...

The polititians mouths are writing checks that will be "difficult" to cash ...... Our sister company is keeping a close eye on this, as their compititors got this contract. SERIOUS technical issues to get this to work as they (the polititions) are selling it to the public. The concept is n...

Would like an answer on that myself - the bit on the first oil change for a new diesel. I know that petrol engines comes with "poor quality" oil when brand new. The reason being that the metal has to "bed in". If you change the oil too soon on a petrol and insert high quality oil...

ChrisF

New Toyotas are 10k intervals.

The latest European imports are 15k intervals - BUT one would also have to look CLOSELY at the fuel and oil requirements to acheive this.

Even Toyota specify shorter than 10k intervals if the vehicle is to be used in "harsh" conditions ....

Baie maklier nou as destyds. Vat die wa in en laat hom toets. Dan hee hulle vir jou n spesifieke lys, bv wiel moer weg op linker agter wiel, toeter werk nie, ens. Dan maak jy daai goed reg vat hom terug en hulle kyk net daarna. Destyds het hulle van voor af getoets en dan weer ander foute gekry .......

"Bloues" .... ?

is dit vir daai blou lux, of daai blou lig op jou dak ....

Julle dinges man ! :evil:

Wou dan nou so lekker op die porta potty sit en die soduko doen ..... lekkerste is om die blaaidjie weg te spoel as dit n moeilike een is ..... :derisive:

Ek het so week of twee terug die Dragon ingebou in Elders. Gister vir die eerste keer die geleentheid gehad om dit uit te toets. LEKKER :thumbup: Hier is die storie van Elders se 29mhz radio: Like so many others I hate the concept of drilling holes in my vehicle. Thus I over-thought the project. Fin...

Why not mount the 2nd battery in the enjine bay? Ek het die bracket klaar gekoop om die battery voor te mount..... Kon net nie uit werk hoe dit moes inpas nie, gaan toe terug en vra die slim manne. "Moenie worrie nie meneer. Ons buig net daai (wiring loom) so bietjie uit die pad, en daai pypie...

Question - HOW to mount a 2nd battery ? I will be mounting the 2nd battery in the back of the bakkie, in the position as shown on the picture. Do I fix the battery box to the bakkie and then place the battery inside it? - What prevents the battery from falling around inside this box ? I bought a com...

WHERE can I get the suduko one ?

Komaan moenie so negatief wees nie .....

daai brakkies is MOOI (van leklikgeid)

My vrou hou net nie van hul snork nie, anders het ons lankal een gehad.

SKUUS, back on topic:

Lekker lang naweek vir almal.

Ek sal besig wees met Elders. :)

ChrisF

Welkom.

ChrisF

Over the last 20 years I have used CarAudioWarehouse. They used to be in TygervalleyCentre. For the last couple of years they are in Durban road, Bellville, just below Barons.

ChrisF

Also have Ironman. No complaints.

ChrisF

Netjies :goodjob: Wat kom bo op daai rails, of waarvoor is dit? In die eerste fotos is die matras op die "grond". Nou lig ek die bed met 350 mm. Die water tenks, jerry kanne, slider stelsel, 2de battery en paar los goed kom als onder die bed. EN n 2de spaarwiel teen die kant, heel voor. D...

Tiaan het jy die Amakrok artikel in die "Engineering news" gesien ? PM my jou fax of epos dan kan ek dit vir jou aanstuur.

ChrisF

NICE product .... but at the current price I will be waiting a while ....

EXCELLENT for inside the cab though

ChrisF

Finally the varnish is dry enough to carry on with the job. Made the side rails, and painted it. So tonight I was ready to finally start the instalation. But first the bak was dust proofed. Made some more items, but need to make some noise (grind) to carry on with the next part. So closed shop for t...

ChrisF

PASOP vir daai Midas specials. :)

Laas staan ek by die til, reg om te betaal. Juis met n special. Toe is die item al reeds 11 maande laas gediens !! So betaal en na n maand moet dit gediens word, of is buite waarborg .....

ChrisF

So WHERE can we buy a fire extinguisher with a PROPER mount (not that that flimsy little plastic thingy) ?

ChrisF

Dankie Pieter

Ons kom laaste naweek van Augustus Biedouvallei toe. :)

Ons EERSTE blomme trippie, sien uit daarna.

Not recommended to go off road alone - looking for likeminded people to do some overlanding.

NOT sure if I am too interested in the rest of the "club mentality"

Johan ek wil nog self daai Amakrok behoorlik gaan toets bestuur, maar ek lees daai speks presies soos jy sê ! Hoe seg die Ingels man "No replament for displacement". Deur die jare was die beter 4x4's nog elke keer GROOT enjin was meestal idle en dan PERFORM as jy voet neersit, en AANHOU pe...

Nishan dont waste your money.

The thermocouple cooler box is not nearly as effective as a good cooler box and a bag of ice !

The thermocouple unit WILL empty your cars battery in time !!

Get a cooler box and ice, then save up for a proper 12/220V fridge/freezer unit.

Die Besembestuurder. 'n Ware storie daar vanuit Bethlehem , Vrystaat, se wêreld... Ek kom vanoggend so 07:15 by die werk, sluit my werkswinkel oop en dank my Hemelse Vader vir die werkswinkel, gesondheid en omdat ek SY vrede en vreugde ervaar. Die eerste kliënt kom vinnig nader en klim uit sy motor ...

ChrisF

So pas die tweede laag vernis opgesit.

Ek wil die hele wa uitkit en hoop om so min as moontlik gate te boor in Elders. Die houtbord stel my instaat om dinge vas te maak soos ek wil.

Nou moet ek hier afsit en gaan staal brackets maak.....

ChrisF

We do our shopping at Checkers Hyper, so was there last weekend.

That Jerrycan looks CR@P !! Rather go to Agrimark and pay R250 for the proper one - whish I knew this before I bought at OWH.

ChrisF

Tot die klok sê dis n slegte kar ......

JIP - ek sou ook eers om die blok ry !

ChrisF

First SMALL step towrds kitting out the "living quaters".

Mounting points for the water tanks. Now to varnish the base before it gets placed inside Elders

ChrisF

Sven VERY nice pic !!

Where is this ?

I used that very link last weekend to wire the spots on my Hilux - EXCELLENT link !!

Nou die dag gaan koop ek 'n sak EPOL hondekos by Pick 'n Pay en terwyl ek so in die ry staan, vra 'n vrou agter my of ek 'n hond het. Sommer aspris, sê ek vir haar: Nee, ek het nie 'n hond nie - ek begin weer met die EPOL diëet. Ek sien sy kyk my so snaaks aan, maar ek gaan aan: "Eintlik weet e...

ChrisF

So nou vir die GROOT vraag ....

Gaan jy nou maar werk soek by Toy om ordentlike bakkies te verkoop , OF gaan jy n target op jou rug verf (op die forum) ?

waars daai ikon van die maanetjie wat die pot STIR ?

ChrisF

best is when you such emails for banks where you dont even have accounts ..... :)

Time has come to kit out Elders for some remote trips. While getting more and more spares to kit out the back I started with the electrics in the front (dual battery electrics to be done after the layout in the back has been finalized). The work in the front included: - Wiring the spots to the high ...

The two gents are sitting on the stoep at the old age home.

WHAT, so long ago ?

What do you mean, it is only 20:30 now.
