What is the condition of your fan belts.
Had a similar problem and it was solved by at first lubricating the belts with q40, and after a while the noise returned, replaced the belts.

After many years of living with this drone noise, and almost selling my bakkie because of this tiring noise, and MANY visits to the experts, I stumbled upon the solution during one of my sleepless nights, https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/spring-stretch-mod.132956/ Look at posting no...

Check with petermorrie on the community website, he is living in Lethlakane, they also have a blog somewhere with weather info.
He will be able to give you up to date info on the status of the pans.

If you do not mind approx 40 k gravel on Botswana side, we normally use Stockpoort border. Busiest was one car before me. Always through both sides in 20-30 minutes max. In my view, stay 2 nights to have one full day at Kubu. Not sure when you plan to go, but even in late May it was rather hot durin...

Hi Stephan, You talk about Linyati and the close ellies...do mean Linyanti (DWNP) between Savuti and Ihaha, or Senyati just outside Kasane, with the underground hide? Even thought the ellies are constantly buggering up the water at Nxai, it was for me one of the most awesome places. The ring road a...

My biggest problem is that I cannot and WILL NOT get up onto a ladder to get into bed. If I need to do that, I will just stick with my RTT.

Theoretically I think 80 Liters, but I have never filled up with more than 74 liters, after travelling about 80 km with the light on.

Daai boggel van die Fortuner bo die agterwiel lyk baie soos iets van India?? Mahindra ek dink.
Die pyn van die nuwe voertuie is die agterste deur vensters wat al hoe kleiner word, ek sal klusterfobies raak in die goed wat bv LR deesdae verkoop.

As far as I know, paid the school fees, any equipment that uses the wireless spectrum must be approved by ICASA.
Had to do that for the wireless access points and 3G routers that we import.
Good luck.

Om die uitlaat manifold af te haal en gasket te vervang sou dit nie nodig wees om aan die tydband te raak nie na my mening, maar het dit self nog nooit gedoen nie.

Dzombo4

Lots of rain and mud at the moment. In three weeks time could be better. Look at Botswana section of 4x4Community for up to date information.

Laas 'n kwotasie by Iron man verspreider gekry so 2 jaar terug vir +- R1250.00 per kant.

Pad na die Hel is net 'n uitdaging vir die laaste kkm of twee. Het al platkarre in die Hel gekry. Kyk net vir verkeer in die pas voor jy die laaste steil pasgedeelte aanpak, dit is nou en die draaie is nogal skerp.

Hope they changed their formula for more grip less slip on wet tar, and also to eliminate the cracking and chipping of the tread.

Congratulations. Truck looking excellent.
These guys used to have an intercooler kit:

Just search this site, you will find installations on top, in front and under the bakkie.

Het jy met 'n spraygun dit gedoen of 'n kwas?

Wonner hoekom 'n mens swart goed op die bonnet wil sit?
Laat te veel na 'n LR lyk.

Baie seker dis NIE by die UNIEGEBOU nie, maar wel by die VOORTREKKERMONUMENT.

T4A is 'n kaart.
Ek gebruik Mapsource op my rekenaar met T4A as ek offroad of buite SA wil gaan, anders Garmin Streetmaps.
Na roetebeplanning upload ek die "waypoints" en roetes asook kaarte benodig na die GPS.

Thanks everyone for your input.
Just need to check what is available close by at a good price.

After my last visit to the stealers at 120K Km, have decided to start doing own oil changes, as I would like to shorten the interval, since we only do around 5-7k km per annum and I would like to at least change the oil once a year. Trips is typically shopping around town for the best part of the ye...

Awesome job, wish you many happy Km's

After about two years I decided to wire the solar panel to charge the second battery when stationary. Looking at the connections (see attached pic) I have no clue which terminals to use. It is numbered from 0 to 6, with a plus next to the Zero and a minus next to the 6. My Steca controller only have...

As jy voor die voertuig staan, aan die regterkant net agter die tydband se bedekking.

Baie dankie aan George wat my telefonies gehelp het en aan Brian vir sy prentjie hoe om dit te doen.
Sal Saterdag probeer.
Lekker dag!!

Dankie George.

After my recent battery replacement, I tried to correct the time displayed on the clock.
Maybe I pushed the buttons to hard, but the whole clock disappeared behind the dash.
Any advice how to EASILY recover and reinstall it please?

Fuel consumption on my 2005 KZ towing a Skipper tent trailer over 6200 km was 8.33 km/liter.
Must admit we were on holiday and very seldom exceeded 120k/hr.
Around town we get between 7.5 to 9 km/ litre.
Mods are iron man bumper and winch, alu canopy and nothing else.

Dzombo4

Depends if it is a 2.7 or KZ. 31's on a KZ will kill the power.

Dzombo4

Dankie Mark. Het jy miskien in voorraad by jou, jy is net baie nader aan ons as Pieter.
Laas het die poskantoor so amper 3 weke geneem om my LED te kry vanaf Langebaan.

Dink ek sal een voor weerskante insit, en een agter langs die kant by die yskas om die kragdraad deur te voer wanneer dit op 220 of die sonkrag is. Hoop dit is groot genoeg om "kettle cord" prop deur te sit, en of 'n brad harrisson prop? Kan ook help met ventilasie in die canopy wat nogal ...

Personally, I have a problem getting down in the morning from these sleep on top setup's.
This is my choice, mabe a bit more expensive than the Jurgens option.
