Hello guys!! it's Julio, from Spain!! I've just bought a 2017 Hlux Revo... and I'm gonna build a good 4x4 for sand and mud. I've own in the past some other cars like Nissan Safari, etc but this new car has a lot of electronic stuff. In concrete, I would like to switch off the ABS. I found the fuses...

It’s a while since I’ve last participated on this forum. I changed vehicles over the years and now possibly looking to get a Hilux.... The decision is however is not so easy. I have a few questions on the newer Hilux’s as I am only familiar with the pre-98 versions. My requirements: Double Cab 4x4 A...

The rear isn't a problem but 32" will foul on the foot-wells in front. A body lift isn't going to solve the problem with articulation. Move the axle, much easier to do than a body lift anyway. Even with the OME lift, the front prop slip joint can easily handle the 30mm forward shift. You just ...

Not to forget tyre pressure guys! I loaded a lot of extras on my Jimny, anything and everything you can imagine as this is still one of the last cheap solid front axle vehicles on the market. My consumption dropped from 13km/l to about 9km/l (also thanks to the nice oversized BF's). I increased the ...

If that happens, just leave it for a while. Once it hardens most of that will come away with a stiff nylon brush and if it still looks too bad you can always give it another coat. Yip, will leave it for another 6 weeks (that is until my next trip) . Luckily my Jimny is not my daily drive, only used...

Thomas, I'm not sure but it could just be some resin or sticky oil from the product that's risen to the surface. if it doesn't come off on your hands, then I don't think it's a train smash but if you can scrape it off with your nail then something has prevented curing. I would leave it for a while ...

This is now reviving a thread of about 10 years ago. I used the ABE Autokote product, which contains the Bitumen. On the Jimny chassis, you have this type of rubber/PVC (I don't know how to explain it) part coated over the chassis for protection. Now I used the product all over the chassis and on th...

Our director’s wife has a 13 year old A class. Extremely reliable and parts are very cheap, well - in PE at least. One example, R1700 for a replaced ball joint and removal and cleaning of throttle body as it was ‘hesitant’ on the power side. All back to normal. Vehicles are about how you look after ...

79 4.2D LC double cab (2016) does not come with a service plan. And services are VERY pricey and servicing is every 7500km and wheel bearing replacement every 40 000km.

Some of you might remember the trip report competition I entered. One of the places I visited was The Hell (Gamkaskloof). Straight after that trip, we decided to book (to stay in The Hell).

Also get the CO2 settings right at a place that can measure the readings. It is sometimes the culprit for running too rich or too lean as well.

Good luck!

I find it strange that a 2009 model is fitted with a 5L engine, these were abandoned some years ago in favour of the KZTE engine, which was a vast improvement in terms of performance and reliability compared to the 5L. Both engines however had a history of head failures. Having said that, we had a ...

Did the NATKO guys sort out the rust issues they experience? I saw there is no undercoat to protect, just the powdercoat.

Open it up and check for loose wires or something. Maybe it is pinched somewhere.

The best way to ensure that rust won't be in your vocabulary when talking 'Hilux', is to e-coat before you powdercoat. During the process, the part will be sandblasted. e-coating will be done afterwards. You either have the option of leaving it (where the black will turn grayish due to UV) or use a ...
