Gaan dit SO swaar met die boerdery? Het jy nie geld vir n ordentlike hoederhok nie ?

ChrisF

Just get some wood shavings ... I believe it helps with the oil stains .....

ChrisF

Andy dit is nou glad nie n lekker manier om die naweek te begin nie.

Thys waar is jou plek?

Ek gebruik altyd n plek in Okovango ind. Sal met graagte liewer n lid hier ondersteun.

Gister so uur en n half gery (STAAN) aan so 25 km ....

Nie meer gewoond aan die tipe verkeer nie. Werk nou 4 km van die huis af.

ChrisF

Isuzu told me the 2,5 fleetline is NON turbo ....

But then, they told me a few other things which also turned out to be wrong ...

Mooi vallei daai om met die fiets te ry. :)

ChrisF

EINA ....

Al hoevel ek lui is staan my hande vir niks in en om die huis vekeerd nie. Van kook, skottelgoed, was,stryk, huis skoonmaak, herstelwerk aan-in-om die huis. Is tans besig om my meisiekind se matriekafskeid rok te ontwerp en te maak en trots daarop. Oja en soos almal al agter gekom het ek kan nie sp...

OOOMS daai is nou BAIE mooi !!

Enige kans om die planne te kry by OOOMS ?

Dit kan nou n LEKKER projek wees, wanneer my garage oor so paar weke ingerig is. :)

Would like to see your 2009/2010 Hilux rocksliders. Please indicate the good and bad points of your particular product. Would you also give an indication of its costs and where you got it. I am particularly interested in places in the Western Cape, yet other installers and ideas might just put my op...

I believe the two auxiliarie batteries are to be connected in PARRALLEL, else you would end up with 24V.

I used to laugh at political jokes,
untill I saw they got elected to office ....

ChrisF

Kyk net eers na die pryse van daai park distance control eenhede.

Die Toyota een is goedkoper as die alternatiewe waarna ek gekyk het !

On Sunday we did the Kroonland 4x4 trail on the Kaaimansgat farm. This is about 7 km outside of Villiersdorp. YET, the turn off to this is only about 1 kilometer outside of Villiersdorp in the direction of Worcestor. It was a most "interesting" day ... We headed out Sunday morning without ...

ChrisF

Nie so seker waar die kombuis is nie ....

Maar die derde aand die week wat ek braai..... :)

Tel dit as kos maak ?

Suduko, geniet dit nogal. :)

Pienk hemp - uhm wel, ek draai nie my rug op n ou met n pienk hemp nie ....

ChrisF

Johan sies vir jou.

Hoe kan jy die woorde "unbiased challenge event " gebruik ?

Kan mos nou nie n ordentlike 4x4 en n beetle ment n bak met mekaar vergelyk nie .....

Op n meer ernstige noot - neem n trailor saam, vir al die plastiek wat daai amakrok gaan aflaai deur die dag ....

ChrisF

Mensig maar daai lyk GOED.

ChrisF

MOOI !

ChrisF

MOEG van sukkel om my buurman se RR op die pad te hou.

Dan hoor ek elke keer van die lekker trips wat my oom met sy Hilux gehad het ....

Volgens my "wens lys" was dit tussen die Hilux en n BT50. Die jare van my oom se goeie diens met sy Hiluxes het my oortuig.

ChrisF

Pieter n moter se "aansit stroom" is tot 6 keer meer as die "loop stroom". MAAR dit is slegs vir 3 tot 10 sekondes. SLEG n probleem vir n gras snyer wat elke 20 sekondes afgesit word en dan aangesit word. Maar maak GEEN verskil vir iets soos n swembad pomp nie, dan is dit slegs d...

Heinrich kontak vir FD. Daai VHF handhelds waarvan hy gepraat het moet nou enige dag los kom .....

Pieter as jy regtig geld wil spaar - MOENIE die gemors koop nie. Daar is drie maniere om krag te spaar: 1) gebruik minder krag - skakel items af of gebruik energie doeltreefende ligte of solar verwarming ens ..... 2) Verminder die "maksimum aanvraag" - SLEGS vir industriele kliente van toe...

ChrisF

Nou hier is nou NOVICE vraag ! Hoe skakel ek die Hilux van 2x4 na 4x4 na Lae-bestek ? My vorige 4x4 het met knoppies gewerk .... Die handelaar het gewys - geen koppelaar nodig nie, druk net na volgende posisie (kon nie antwoord of dit stilstaande moet gebeur nie) Party keer beweeg die stokkie maklik...

ChrisF

en ek is deel van daai stats. :)

ChrisF

Lyk goed. :)

Het jy foto's wat wys hoe die brackets vasmaak aan die chassis ?

Die square tubing - wat is sy dimensies en wand dikte?

ChrisF

My first Mothers day without my mom.

Give your moms and extra hug from me.

ChrisF

SJUUUT ..... ek het hard probeer om al daai koerante op te koop ........ :)

Dinge raak nou interessant in Gemini St - DRIE 4x4 spesialiste in n paar honderd meter.

2 op die oomblik, 3de een (lid op die forum) skuif volgende maand soontoe.

So let's consider the spade as part of the towstraps - that part of the kit EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE when going off the tar. So what is your number "1" and your number "2" item that you would next take along? 1) .... 2) ... PS - a Hi Lift is much cheaper than a whinch. Yet which do ...

ChrisF

So let's say you have to choose between the following equipment:
- Hi lift jack
- baloon jack
- "tracks"
- winch

You already have your straps and ropes in the vehicle, but can only take ONE, maximum two of the items from the list above - which would you take along ?

ChrisF

Ek het na die links gaan kyk, maar sien nie werklik iets wat die twee items vergelyk nie .... wat mis ek ?

Sou graag wou weet wat die manne aanbeveel?

ChrisF

Die Toyota wiring loom het NIE n earth draad nie. N kort stukkie groen draag word bygegee, die word dan vasgeboud waar die lig socket aan die towbar gebout word - perfekte resep vir n swak verbinding.

Lê n ordentlike earth aan en kyk wat hy maak.

ChrisF

weet nie van "veteraan" nie, maar hier is n paar "legendes", party 35 en dalk n paar 40 .....

skuus, kon nie weerstaan nie.

ChrisF

Mooi wa.

Die veranderinge lyk ook goed.

ChrisF

Eric I LOVE this Hilux !! Yesterday we did the Walker bay Nature conservation trail between Stanford and Gansbaai. At the gate they only allow 4x4's in, not even 4x2's. After a while started wondering if this was just a conservation thing, as the trail could be done without spinning the fornt tires ...

Here are two pics from our first camp in Elders, at Wilderness SANS park

Sukkel nog om die foto's in die regte plek tussen die teks te plaas ....

So hier is nog n paar foto's wat eintlik in die eerste post hoort

Ek is Afrikaans, maar sal die post in Ingels doen sodat die ander dit ook kan volg. On my 40th birthday I signed an OTP for a Suzuki Jimny. this was to be my first ever 4x4. Due to other factors is was 3 months before we finally took it off road, Two Oceans trail outside Somerset West. Renier took g...

ChrisF

Dankie manne. n Forum lid het my verwys na n plek in Stellenbosch wat dit Saterdag oggend vir my geïnstalleer het. CRAIG - the tail light units are removed. You unclip the Hilux loom from the light cluster, the new loom then clips to the wiring loom and back onto the light cluster - so you wont see ...

ChrisF

Dankie CasKru.

Sal dit in gedagte hou.

ChrisF

Thanks.

Now to find out where I can buy this ....

ChrisF

I had a towbar/bumper/hi-lift jack point unit fitted at a 4x4 shop. When I collected the vehicle I was informed that he did not connect the wiring - he suggested that I go to Toyota to get the loom which clips into the Hilux loom. This was suggested to ensure that no issues arise with the vehicle wa...

ChrisF

Mag ek sê - EK IS JALOERS.

Die manne is nou besig om my garage te vergroot, so ek kan nie nou weg gaan nie (behalwe vir die feit dat my beursie nou BAIE plat is).

Heinrich GENIET julle trippie. Is dit nou die eerste vol toets vir daai nuwe drawers ?

ChrisF

Yesterday I discovered a small pitfall in the current design - if the engine is running and lights are on, opening the door still makes the buzzer go! Back to the drawing board we go! Will keep you posted! One more relay .... Use the normally closed contact of a relay. Activate the relay when the i...

ChrisF

I have a small compact compressor - the type bikers use.

I need something which can inflate the Hilux tires "a bit" quicker.

What compressor would you recommend?
- brand
- engine compartment mount
- Carry in a bag type
- any other comments/ideas/suggestions?

dankie manne

ChrisF

Kry die week my Hilux ....met sy nuwe voor en agter bumper. :) Lysie is lank en beursie is dun ...... :( Sodra die bouer klaar is met my garage kan ek begin om die bak uit te kit as an kamper. Hier kom lekker speeltyd. :) Nou dat ek weer dink .... MOET n groter kompressor kry !! Enige voorstelle ? -...

ChrisF

Please bear with this newby question -

So what does "Vigo" stand for ?

What other "hilux" terms should I know .....

ChrisF

How long is a piece of string ..... Hopefully the following question will be a bit easier - Fit a steel bumper to a Hilux, going down to the factory "bash plate" (sump gaurd). Thus providing "frontal" impact protection. Would you fit a "bottom" bash plate as well, ie a ...

ChrisF

What I did in the past was to use a 12V buzzer. Pick up power from one of the park lights - buzzer - to the driver side door switch. Use TWO diodes: 1) to allow power flow from the park ligth to the door switch - this also prevents the cab light discharging through the park light 2) to allow power f...

ChrisF

Klaar gedoen:
rubber matte
sitplek oortreksel
Yskas

Tans (staan nou by Burnco):
Voor bumper
Agter bumper
(met recovery punte en high lift punte)

Volgende:
Bash plate
dual battery system
radio ...(?)
uitkit as n kamper

Toe ek my Hilux aangeskaf het, het Family Dog my uitgenooi na die forum.

Laser cutting ??

1,25 or 1,5 is the "thread pitch" - distance from one thread to another.

ChrisF

JA Boet - soos n POP gevoel toe ek besef wat die oorsaak van die rattle was.

Die res is sommer "fyn brag" met die wonderlike Hilux. :)

With the right tire pressure, what would a realistic (safe) speed be on such straight roads, when the road is in -
a) good condition
b) has corrugations ?

Looking at the pics, it seems the back was empty, ie light on the road as well.
