Hilux 4x4 Forum

I dont know if any1 has already spoken of this (my afrikaans isnt that good) I was thinking, what about installing a "blow-off" valve on the bakkie like the turbo cars have? i think this will make it Much smoother between gears. Yes you will still have turbo lag (especially in first gear) ...

Thanks for all the advice guys. The trip was excellent although the weather didnt play the game. it was really windy and on the saturday when we went out deep sea fishing the sea was Very choppy. lots of the guys got sick and for the first time i also felt it. fishing was not too grand but we did ma...

Hi all, So i'm going to be doing my first trip with the Hilux this week. It's not so much an off-roading trip (this time) but i'm hoping to get to at least drive on the beach a little (which brings me to the reason for my post) Am i allowed to drive on the beach? do i have to get any sort of permit ...

I dont need anything hectic. Am thinking about those electric cooler boxes that Game has. Just something to chill the beers :lol: I have seen someting on Gumtree where it works with Gas, 220V or 12V. think it was about 20L and the cost was around R4500 Will look into that a little later but for now ...

I eventually went with Mutual & Federal
2006 3.0 D4D D/C 4x4 - R750 - R2750 excess

They cover accessories buit the canopy is extra.

I see that somehave special 4x4 cover.
most cover you in neighbouring countries

also i hear that some/most dont cover you on the 4x4 tracks/courses unless you call and tell them that you going (Similar to taking your car to a race track). they do however cover you for normal off-road

I've been looking around and quotes range from R688 to R1200 Outsurance : R969 Dial Direct: R689 Virgin: R706 Glenrand MIB: R1232 These are for my 3.0 D4D D/C 4X4 - 2006 model Althought Dial Direct is cheapest, they are part of Auto & General. I want to stay far away from A&G since i (and a ...

While looking for a new vehicle i saw a Fortuner D4D with 167000kms on the clock. The guy had changed the Injectors already and said that they usually give problems on the D4D motors at around that mileage. Is this true? Also, i have always used Wynns Injection Cleaner on my cars. It does state on t...

Hi, My 3.0 D4D has a slight sweat/leak on the transfer box where it meets the axle. Any suggestions on where i can have it repaired near Midrand and an estimated price? (i dont trust the agents to repair. had some bad experiences with them) Is it something that any mechanic/RMi approved outlet can f...

Thanks for all the responses guys.

Apprarenly the bakkie is already chipped.

how do i check? Where does the chip sit? Is it like the cars? Under the chubby?

Thanks Oooms. Do they use the existing wiring harness etc and just plug in a new chip or replace it?

Uys - i will look into the bash plate a little later. not gonna be doing much off-roading yet. will be going around december or so and will give you a shout.

Hi all, Based on the feedback on my previous post about a comparison between the 2700i VVti, 2.5 D4D and 3.0 D4D i think i made the right choice. I'm getting a 3.0 D4D shortly. 2006, 123 000kms, Bluetooth, PDC front & rear, DVD, GPS, MP3, nudge bar, canopy, tow bar, rubberized bin etc Paying R18...

Hi Nishan and welcome, what Hilux do you currently have? and which is better the 2.7 VVTi or 2.5 D4D? 2.7vvti 2x4? 2.5 D4D 4X4? What are you after? 2.7 heavy on fuel but faster. 2.5 sluggish....but good motor! 3.0 D4D pretty much of a pocket rocket The 2.5 D4D at R165, Double cab, I presume seems r...

thanks for the info i dont mind either 4X2 or 4X4. dont do excessive off-roading (would like to though) i need more the speed than off-roading capabilities. my bro-in-law has the 3.0 D4D 4X4. that thing just walks over the 4X4 track!!! and it has loads of power. problem is the price. if i'm gonna sp...
