My vrou se Honda het die CVT boks, geen probleme na 114000 km en loop baie lekker. Sy het n groter kar nodig so het vroeer vanjaar die 2l Rav met CVT boks gekoop - baie gelukkig.

Bester

Chris, laat weet of jy my pm kry -lyk of dit vassit in my outbox.

Bester

Thanks for the detailed advise Chris! I decided on the WRND 20A unit - its the same price as the 12A HCDP, but automatically switches between solar and alternator.

Bester

Some nice ideas here, I'm also redoing my system as the NL solenoid is not nearly adequate for charging the two extra batteries I have. I believe a dc to dc charger would improve the charging, so I'm looking at the 30A HCDP or the CTek 250 - both allowing solar input. Anyone with experience on these...

Bester

Dankie Chris, ek dink ook dit is maar beter om die ding by Toyota te laat doen

Bester

Thanks for the info / photos. I think best would probably be to go with Toyota, for "just in case".

As a matter of interest, any idea what the Thule tow bar costs?

Bester

Dankie Chris, jy het nie dalk n foto naby nie?

Bester

Ek wil graag n towbar op my vrou se Rav4 sit (2014), maar daar is nerens voorraad waar ek na die verskillende opsies kan kyk nie. Is daar dalk iemand hier wat so iets gedoen het en kan kommentaar lewer op die verskil tussen Toyota removable (R7000) en Bosal removable (R4900)? Ek wil dit meestal gebr...

Bester

Het iemand al hulle nuwe Revo gekry? Watter modifikasies?

Bester

Thanks guys, best would probably be to wait for the silver - my wife said no more bakkie if its going to be white

Bester

Thanks CasKru, I prefer silver but they are scarce.

Bester

Hi everyone, I would appreciate your comments re colour of vehicle. Obviously white is most practical, but just how bad would a grey / gunmetal colour be on a 4x4? Will it be worse than silver or the same? I prefer not to drive through thick bushes (although sometimes not an option) so even my curre...

Bester

I ride mine on 200, and when loaded and trailvan I go 2.5 back and 2.2 front (obviously tar use). This works for me, tyre wear seems good.

Bester

Het reggekom by Brights dankie, moes draai gaan maak daai kant.

Bester

Dankie Tertius, die goed is maar skaars in Paarl!

Bester

Hi guys, where can I find 16 square mm ferrules in CT northern suburbs?

Bester

Can anyone help me with the current trade / retail values of a 2013 3.0 D4D Double Cab 4x4 manual?

Bester

Baie dankie vir die terugvoering. Dit is nie vir my moeite om te skakel tussen alternator en sonpaneel - die sonpanele is draagbaar en sal dus op dieselfde brad harrison plug gesit word wat gebruik word om die alternator te koppel.

Bester

Dankie Martin, ek sal so maak, hoop net hulle is more oop ander gaan my naweek-projek tot volgende naweek moet oorstaan

Bester

Ek het toe die HCDP 12A gekoop, prys van CTEK kon ek net nie regverdig op hierdie stadium nie. Nou sukkel ek so bietjie om die installasie te verstaan - ek hoop daar is iemand wat kan raad gee. My eerste probleem, hoe kry ek die 6sqmm draad wat van die voertuig battery + af kom in daai klein gaatjie...

Bester

Baie dankie Chris, ek het nogal oorweeg om eerder 2 van die HCDP 12A te koop - een vir sleepwa en een vir bakkie. Dan is daar nog heelwat kleingeld oor.

Bester

Ek het so bietjie hulp nodig om die regte DC to DC charger te koop. Moet ook vir sonpanele kan werk. Het n HCDP 12A in my vorige sleepwa gehad, het geen probleme gehad nie, maar is bekommerd dat dit nie vinnig genoeg die batteye laai as sonskyn beperk is nie. Is dit die moeite werd om die CTek 250 t...

Bester

Dankie vir al die terugvoering - ek sien daar is konstruksie werk aan die gang by Sendelingsdrift, was iemand onlangs daar?

Bester

Ek wil graag bietjie raad he - ons beplan n besoek aan Namibie en oorweeg een of twee opsies vir die reis tot by Sendelingsdrift (van hier gaan ons na Aus). Die eerste opsie is om van die Kaap te ry in een dag tot by Sendelinsgdrift en dan hier in die huisies te slaap - nie lus om na soveel uur op d...

Bester

Nie seker watter spesifieke jaarmodel, maar beide my 2009 en 2013 se clutch onder waarnorg vervang

Bester

Ai, ek is nie meer so opgewonde nie....

Bester

Mine was replaced on 45000km - now on 60000km and worse that before. Is the replacement clutch "better" or are there other options?

Bester

Unforunately it appears that the clutch is a problem on these vehicles - do an internet search and you will find the evidence.

You are lucky to have gotten to that mileage, assuming it is still the original clutch.

Bester

It is for a 2014 double cab

Bester

Does anybody know if there is a place in Cape Town that rents out canopies (short term)? I'm considering having an alu canopy made, however lead time around month and a half and unfortunately I cannot go without a canopy for so long.

Bester

Gaan loer bietjie op http://www.thehubsa.co.za" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; jy sal daar dalk n winskoop raakloop en die kans is beter dat dit nie iemand sal wees wat jou probeer indoen soos op gumtree nie. Jy sal ook baie goeie raad daar kry.

Bester

As jy 2dehands wil koop kan jy 26ers kry vir weggee pryse - meeste ouens koop deesdae 29ers of 27.5ers. Ek het op n stadium probeer om my vrou se 26er te verkoop om vir haar te upgrade na 27.5, maar toe besluit ek hou dit eerder as om dit weg te gee... Die 29ers kou jou bene bietjie meer teen die op...

Bester

Thanks for the response, air springs seems to be the way to go. Not really keen on the extended shackles as the weight is not constant, only when fully loaded.

Bester

I need some advice please. I have front spacers on my Hilux to make up for the extra weight of the ARB bullbar, however when I am fully loaded and with trailer hooked, my back suspension sags too much. What would be the best option to sort this out - I am currently considering the airbags that can b...

Bester

I wouldn't say Howa is a Toyota - my Toyota should be compared with the likes of Sako etc. However nothing wrong with a Howa, these are good quality affordable rifles and will outlast your hunting career if looked after. Shoot with all calibers you consider and THEN decide what you are comfortable w...

Bester

How does the fuel consumption compare when towing?

Bester

Thanks for the response, I do mainly longer distance trips, not a lot of driving in traffic, and towing either offroad trailer or caravan about once a month. I've never owned an auto bakkie before, so cannot make up my mind of it is the right thing to do.

Bester

I really would like to see what the Rhino looks like "in real life". Anybody body here in the Cape / Boland region that has one fitted?

Bester

What replacement bumpers are currently available for the Vigo shape Hilux? I am familiar with the ARB, TJM, Ironman bars, but these are heavy so what alternatives are there? I've seen the Rhino evolution on the forum, lloks nice, however no jacking points. Anything else similar to the Rhino bumper?

Bester

I want to buy an auto Hilux 3.0 D4D, but I'm getting second thoughts...

How does the auto compare vs the manual when towing, or when riding off-road?

Bester

Hi Jaco, is the bumper colour coded or is that the white they come in?

Bester

That's more or less the same as my consumption, problem is it is even worse doing long distance at 120km/h - struggle to get 8, sometimes even down to 7.2.
Much worse than my two previous bakkies (2007 and 2010 models)

Bester

Jip, it will increase fuel consumption.

Bester

Dankie George, het nou net daarna gekyk op julle website. Laat weet asb of julle voorraad het en of dit slegs in die 1.5m en standaard aluminium kleur beskikbaar is. Ek is van Vrydag af in Langebaan.

Bester

Dankie Wimpie, sal gaan kyk op website, sal dit net graag hierdie week nog wil opsit.

Bester

I bought a 2nd hand Front Runner roof rack which came without the mounting tracks. I've got the feet - can anybody give some advice of where to get a pair of tracks that will work, or is Front Runner the only option.

Bester

lekker man, lekker!

Bester

Thanks, should also work out a bit cheaper, I already have a fuse installed

Bester

Jip Cassie, I agree, was considering using the National Luna fuse box holder http://www.nationalluna.com/newproduct2.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; to ensure safe connection - or is there any other cover that I can use?

Bester

Hi guys, what is the best way to spilt or T-off 16mm2 cable? Is it ok just to solder, should I rather use lugs and bolt together and can I get a specific connection blok or thingymajic somehwere?

Bester

I was also looking around for the 160 litre - going price in the region of R1400. Was at Midas last week and they have them on special at R999.

Bester

Or should I rather consider solar panels instead of CTek 250 charger for the trailer?

Bester

I think I may have a solution that won’t break the bank (too much) at this stage – I would like to get some feedback from the guys that know more about this stuff than me. From my cranking battery I have 16m2 cables with an inline fuse running towards to the back of my bakkie. Just behind my tow bar...

Bester

Jip, got some caps and will have plywood over that

Bester

I've got some space behind my drawers which I think is ideal for the two batteries, by they don't fit if in boxes

Bester

Hi guys, how necessary is it to place batteries in a battery box when fitted in the back of my bakkie?

Bester

Thanks for the replies. Would the Ctek 250 DC to DC charger work to charge these batteries, or would I need a DC to DC charger on each battery. If it would be a very expensive set-up to charge all 3, I would rather keep battery #3 off the system and only charge when we have power available.

Bester

Hi guys, I need some advice regarding charging of 3rd and 4th batteries. I have read all posts regarding dual battery systems, but still have some questions I need answers for. I currently have a National Luna portable box (battery #2) located in the back of my bakkie, charging from the alternator v...

Bester

Need some help / info please. What is the best snorkel to fit to my Hilux and where should I have it done (Cape Town & surrounding areas)?

Bester

Hulle kan my glo oor so twee weke help, klink of hulle besig is om iets op te stel in n tydelike perseel
