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. This is now if you go according to the book so that your Toyota stays in tip top shape. The 2.5td DC 4x4 Hilux (2015) will have a s...

The local farm stall which one of the decedents great grandchild lives is also amazing.

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 ...

The next step was having Natko Railings fitted in Humansdorp.

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

Very nice Thomas. I have been to most places you visited except Nieu Bethesda. Must make a plan. We went to Namibia last year and hired a Grand Vitara.

After much time and effort... problem solved. Ended up being the universal on the front prop shaft. Thanks for the suggestions

I am going to ask a real dumb question, isn't the front prop stationary when is 4x2?

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 ...

To me, it boils down to reliability. Which one of the two bakkies will still be driving after 10 years with no issues?
