Please can somebody tell me how to remove the door panel (front passenger) of my Vigo?

Somewhere on this site there are instructions with schematics on how to remove the door panel on an IFS. Something similar would be great for the Vigo as well.

Thanks

My 2CW...vir R120k kan jy al 'n goeie IFS met ekstra's kry.

Die issue, wat baie ouens nie besef nie, is dat die ekstra's wat jy op jou voertuig sit het baie min, soms geen, herverkoopswaarde. Bv. Gestel jy wil 'n voertuig met 'n canopy inruil. 'n Dealer sal jou nie ekstra betaal vir die canopy nie.

I'm looking at a reasonable strength AT tyre. Should be capable in the sand, but strong sidewalls for Van Zyls Pass. On my short list I have Goodyear Wrangler AT/SA, Goodyear Duratrac (not so sure about the availability). Can anybody please comment on these? Also, what about Pro-Comp? Had seen enoug...

Hi

Does anybody have experience in mounting a GME 300 radio in the Vigo?
Or can somebody give a suggestion on where to mount the radio?

Thanks

Dankie aan almal vir die raad... So ek praat toe met die dealer wat die tonneau cover opgesit het (hulle moes die canopy afhaal om dit te doen).Hy sê hulle het destyds 4 ouens gehad om die canopy af te tel... Wat ek wel gaan probeer doen is om die rollbar agtertoe te skuif en dan die canopy...sal di...

Thanks Cassie! Is it possible to remove the roll bar with the canopy still on the back?

I drive a Vigo Hilux (Legend40) with a Carryboy canopy from SA Canopy. I'm really struggling to take the canopy off the bakkie as the front end (closest to the cab) is curved. The bottom curve of the canopy is prohibited from moving anything higher than the lower end of the rear sliding window as th...

Can anybody please give advice on installing the aerial for my 29 mhz radio?

Also, could you please recommend a reputable fitment centre in Cape Town?

AllTerrain

As far as I know, any form of spacer will void the warranty

AllTerrain

I understand that the Legend 40 does not have torsion bars. With the Legend 35, which had torsion bars, one could lift the body slightly through adjustment of the torsion bars. This created a larger approach angle. Is there a similar adjustment one can make with the Legend 40? If not, what other typ...

Does anybody have experience with EFS suspension.

The salesman said to me that they have been in business for longer than Old Man Emu (OME) and that they are much cheaper.

However, is the quality and improvements one get from them as reputable as OME?

Thanks Thys

One thing I have noticed is that there are very few formal "automatic 4x4 driving guidelines". One has to learn by trial and error. It would be great if somebody provides a course on this.

AllTerrain

No prob, I've only taken delivery of my auto d4d over the weekend. Have read about it on the net. They say you have to start your engine in "P" position and then put it in "R". My guess is you'll probably have to practise this so that the vehicle doesn't run away with you

Can anybody please shed some light for me on automatic 4x4 driving... - Where can one learn how to... And most importantly, what is the recovery procedures when the vehicle gets stuck? Th D4d's manual states that the automatic gear lever should be in "N", however the short stick should be ...

Hello,

Can anybody please tell me how they experience the performance of this vehicle off-road, and elaborate on sand/dune driving capability.

I've picked up on a couple of threads that some people may be struggling to align BFG A/T tyres. Is this a common problem? I've also struggled to get mine sorted out (I bought them at a nice discount, however at a reputable dealer), but eventually I can't complain as they give really good service.

Has anybody ever seen / used the Fredlin Canopy Hoist System?

Does it work well? Are the things to look out for when doing the installation?

My 2 cents... I drive a chipped 2005 Legend35 IFS 4x4 2.7. My dad drives a 2001 IFS 4x4 2.7, not chipped, however he does have a branch/exhaust conversion. Both our bakkies have the same tyre size. One major difference is, his extras are heavier than mine I bought my bakkie already chipped, but obvi...

Hi almal,

My Legend 35 squeek vreeslik. Sodra ek by 'n stop teken stop dan klink hy squeeky en kraak vir die vale!

Kan iemand my raad gee asb?

I've recently fitted BFG A/T on my Raider IFS. What is the recommended pressure for driving in sand. I've heard a lot of comments about the tyre slipping off the beading etc...

I currently have Bridgestone H/T tyres fitted to my Hilux IFS.
