Hey guys I just bought a second hand D4D double cab 4x4 from Toyota Bloemfontein, i was driving 2 days ago with my radio on and on cruise control. I tried to close my driver window and the entire vehicle shut down, turning ignition key did noting. Pulled over and tried again with no success. Left it...

Hey guys Took my bakkie in for a Dyno today. The guy says my Diesel Pump needs fixing, this is the problem for sluggishness and horrible fuel consumption. I took a Pic of the Dyno screen, dont know how to read it, but the top arc graph reads 203 and the bottom 54. He says this is a significant decre...

Hey Guys Hope you can help, im sitting with a decision making problem on my KZTE, whether to sell or Chip and Intercool. I have rigged my bakkie with R90 000 extras for Hunting Safaris and the bakkie performs lekke in the veld, lifted in a hell of a lot. Problem is that with my driving style (80kph ...

does no one else have any advice or input?

morganharris

There is a specific vehicle i am looking at. Let me know what you think of this deal.

2006 2.5 D4D DC 4x4
169 000km
R145 000

Is this a good buy?

morganharris

thanks, can someone help me on this matter? Difference between 2.5 SRX and 2.5 SRX D4D

I see some with color coded bumpers, then others with black bumpers.

Sounds great to me, it cannot be more underpowered than the KZTE? can it?

Also what is the difference between a SRX and SRX D4D

morganharris

Hey guys I am selling my KZTE and thinking of a 2.5 SRX DC 4x4 Main use will be for hunting, KZ is killing me on fuel (6km/l) My question is, is this a good upgrade choice? Its about all i can afford. I am selling my KZ fully kitted and will have R160 000 available to spend on new vehicle. I just wa...

I have lifted my vehicle a lot, not sure how much. But i installed medium duty mikem suspension at the back, then bought extended shackles that are longer than those that came with the suspension and added that too. The ass was way up there. Then i added Mikem heavy duty extended tortion bars as wel...

Hey Guys I have lifted the hell out of my 2004 DC KZTE, now its averaging 6km/L, very heavy i know, but works great in the bush. Problem is i drive a lot of Highway to get to the bush and its kind killing the fact that it performs and looks so good in the bush. Spoke to SAC Bloemfontein, they said i...

Hey guys Im in the bush hunting with my double cab KZTE right now. My truck is quite loaded at the moment and really sagging at the back, this happens often so I need to fix the problem A brief mod list I have done already: Added front spacers Added rear shackles Added extra leaf spring at rear Adde...

First thing I do on the 26th is get Original Headlights, go to an Auto Electrician and get the wiring redone. When im done I will post some pics for you.

Once question, when talking about re-wiring, are we talking about bigger/thicker wires?

morganharris

OOMS Thanks for that info, I am not sure if my Headlights are original or aftermarket. I bought the bakkie like this. How do I test/know which is which? And where do you recommend I get originals from is these are Aftermarket? (Toyota themselves?) I read the post and re-wiring the system and adding ...

morganharris

I removed my HID and had Nightbreakers installed as my H4 Headlights as well as my spotlights. To me it looks very similar to the HID's, but i do see that a bulb alignment is needed as my brights shine in the trees. So first thing Monday I will have them aligned and post more pics. Spotlights work g...

morganharris

Yes they are, took them to an auto electrician this morning to go through the wiring.

Im taking it back to him for full diagnosis in the AM, not sure what to do from here?

morganharris

Here are some pics i just took with the dims and brights. It actually looks better on photos than when your actually in the vehicle. The second batch of pics shows the same photos with distance markers I added in. DIMS http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii239/LHsafaris/IMG_7550.jpg BRIGHTS http://i2...

morganharris

Here are some pics of the HID's in the headlight. Today someone told me that the plastic cover inside the headlight is what is stopping my brights from shining correctly. So what we did is remove the plastic cover on only the right headlight and leave the left stock. I want to see tonight if this ma...

morganharris

Hey guys Just installed the HID kit on my Lux. Looks amazing, really... Only issue is that my low beams are perfect but my brights are way to heigh. I do have a hunting rig on the back which sags the back a little. But what confuses me is that the low is perfect for what i want, so if i adjust the H...

Hey Guys I got a 61L tank fitted to my 2004 KZTE Double Cab a few months back by LA Sport in Bloemfontein. Had non stop issues with it, never seemed to fill up all the way. I know a standard tank is around 81L and the extra tank 61L. Total 142L (plus minus). Now driving the vehicle until its complet...

morganharris

I have not adjusted my tortion bars at all.

But wont the front be heigher than the back if i raise the tortion bars?

morganharris

Hey guys

I have heard some guys talking about a Body Lift, what exactly is this and how is it done? Who do you contact to do this job.

I have spaces and shackles on my KZ but would like to body to be a bit heigher, not too worried about how high the diff is off the ground

morganharris

Boland4x4, you mention a "Body Lift", what is this exactly? Can I look at it online somewhere? Price?

Sorry for all the questions, I dont know much about these things

morganharris

Hey guys I just bought and installed Spacers and Shackles from 4x4direct and installed on my KZTE. My Father In Law says he can make the same kind of parts, just bigger for more lift. The ones i have are about 25mm lift and he says he can custom make new ones that will give me from 50mm to 75mm lift...

morganharris

Thanks guys I dont know much about tires, 31 inch - what size is that when it comes to 245/75/15? any specific brands that are good and people to go to to get the tires? Also Pietpetroos, you mentioned the 50mm body lift. Where do I do this? What does it cost? What all is involved? can i look at it ...

morganharris

Hey guys I put on spacers and shackles on my KZ two weeks ago, made a difference. Did a hunt this past week and see that I still need a bit more lift as my spare wheel is too low to the ground due to my long range tank, also the water we drive through on the farm is a bit deep for the nose of the ve...

morganharris

Hey again Guys Really dumb question; bought a highlift jack for my 2004 KZTE Double Cab. For the life of me I cannot figure out where to jack this thing up. The back is ok as I have a strong towhitch and support step, so here I will have to jack up the entire rear end. From the front, I have a bullb...

morganharris

Hey guys I am pretty novice when it comes to technical aspects of vehicles, im no mechanic. Within saying that, I have a 2004 4x4 KZTE D/C with winch and bullbar, soon to add hunting rails. I would like a lift on this vehicle. My father in law said he can custom make spacers for the front and adjust...

What about going through Plumtree then, if i go through Martins Drift I will have to go through Plumtree, this was horrible experience last time I was there (ok, it was 2008), not sure if things have changed.

But why not Beit Bridge, I heard they cleaned up there nice...

morganharris

Im headed to Bulawayo, then Gokwe.

Thing is I am in Bloemfontein, BFN to Bulawayo seems to shortest via Beit Bridge at just over 1200km.

Would going through Bots not take longer as there are two borders to cross? I went through Plumtree once, 17hours in line.

morganharris

Hey Guys Last time I went through Beit Bridge I used what they call a clearing agent, paid the guy R1500, he walked me straight to the counters, got all paperwork filled in and stamped, got through to the Zim side, same story. Only took me like 25min total. Problem is this guys number no longer work...

morganharris

George I could have an airlock, I dove the vehicle about 500km before i noticed this problem, then I filled it up again. Thing is it only took 41L, it should have taken 62L on the cunsumption I am getting. So you are probably right. Stupid question: if there is an airlock, is it permanently in there...

morganharris

Hiluxfan

Mine is exact same as yours then. I watch the guys filling up. I tell them to go very slow, once it fills up I shake and keep filling until it cannot take more.

Does yours work 100% with gravity? or suction as well?
How far do you drive before your fuel gauge starts dropping?

morganharris

Jacques Thanks for the quick reply, I left it overnight and nothing happened by this morning. Same level. I am going to try and park it at an angle for a while and see what happens then. I am planning on driving this vehicle until it gives that first jerk because of low fuel. This is really confusin...

morganharris

Todays update: The gauge is sitting just above half tank, speedo says I have done 450km.

This cannot be right, my vehicle used less fuel with the standard tank, at this rate I will only be able to do an exta 200km with the additional tank.

WHATS GOING ON HERE...

morganharris

Hey Guys I just installed a Long Range Tank at LA Sports. 61L. Im a little confused how this works. They say its a gravity feed tank. On my normal standard tank I drive a total of 630km before its emptym, 520km the fuel light comes on. So to my calcuations 81L tand plus the long range tank should gi...
