It just doesn't make sense looking at the photos. Daar het iets anders daar gebeur.

Seeing that you have all this time on your hands, about one for m.......?

Laai Impala's, die vleis skade is so te se niks en ek moet nog een terug kry. Impala's is goed, ek gebruik ook die "Sierra Game King 180gr" hulle is ook goeie punte, maar dan moet jy self laai. Die 180gr is goed vir 308 en 30.06. Verlede naweek het ek n springbok met my 30.06 met n 180gr ...

Yes, I would agree, but the trip moniter was reset before we went up SANI Pass at Himeville and checked when we got home in Durban, this 12.7 was for a round trip, not just the down hill part.

Aquanaut

thanks guys

Do any of you have your vehicles serviced? Surely you do and therefor must have some sort of opinion, either you have noticed a change or you haven't.
Your feedback will tell me if something was done to my vehicle which has affected the performance, or it is normal and will improve in time.

Not so long ago on a different post, I mentioned that on a recent rip to Lesotho and going back to Durban via golden gate and sterkfontein dam, my fuel consumption read out on the computer was 12.7km/l. The computer was reset at Himeville just before we did all the 4x4 stuff up Sani Pass and the rou...

Does it do it with a load on the back, if not, then it indicates that the vehicles is too light in the bin area. I f it still does it with a load on the back, then you need to sort out your suspension.

Checked out their web site, they have some very good stuff and they are well known overseas, this is a new product to S.A. and the dealership has just opened up. Met the guy on a 4x4 trial organised by Toyota.

Some tech dives on the wrecks off durban laying at 65 - 75 meters. I have done instructors courses, specialty courses and Tri-Mix courses, so take small steps before trying anything stupid like we do. Enjoy the fun of the 30m dives, they are less stressfull. Well done to those who have just taken th...

Have any of you heard or got any feedback on the RAW systems, I believe they have been going for a long time in Australie and surpassed the OME systems in quite a few countries.
Got quoted on a suspension system for my hilux d/cad 4x4 at just under R14000-00

We crossed the border at Sendlingsdrift on the pont, we had more questions from the S.A. border officials than in Namibia. On their side we filled in the documents with no problem, paid the road tax which you must have on you at all times. the only time we saw Nam police was just outside the border ...

Is this a 4x4 course or is it as the heading states " recovery training". Do they get stuck so often that they have to have training to recover their vehicles?
Just asking!

Aquanaut

Is this something that everyone has to do sometime or other or is it personal preference like changing the suspension to an Iron Man or OME system?

Aquanaut

The raised clearance, the 4x4 tyres and the skid plates certainly did their job, that trip must have turned heads when he overtook the LR's. :)

Aquanaut

I tried that on a previous bakkie I had, adjusted them equally and it raised the ride height but not by much, but the vehicle started bouncing up and down almost as if the shocks had worn out, I took it to a dealer and they confirmed that it had gone beyond the recommended height settings and that I...

Hi Guys, excuse my ignorance, but what is the purpose of a cross over steering?

Vriende: Enige goeie wenke hoe om die Hilux se spaarwiel te beveilig? Baie dankie. Makro has a weather proof lock, (plastic cover that seals the lock), mine has worked well so far. and don't forget the removable tow bar that the new hilux's come out with, they are stolen for scrap metal. PUT A LOCK...

Done it with 'one wheel drive' - no difflock! Piece of cake :thumbup: Sani Pass 009 (Small).jpg Saw plenty of these one wheel drive vehicles on our recent trip, I was very glad not to be riding one of those, the roads were very bad and very dangerous, never mind the cold. So glad I was in my Hilux ...

The 2wd with diff-loc only battled near the top on the loose rocks. Lost a coolerbox full of Castle Lite's on the way up, every bottle in the cooler broke. Wouldn't recommend trying it in 2wd as if you get stuck, there is no help on hand. T I agree, not worth the risk if you are going to loose your...

Just a casual cruise up SANI

Yip a 4x2 with diff lock should make it It's more of an issue with ground clearance. Long as you have the height it should be ok Take note of the pic below I think they dont want people spinning wheels and damaging the road. @ Sebata, gave her a Mojito and that didn't work.. doubt benlyn would help...

Aquanaut

Thanks for sharing those pics, see, now I don't have to worry about posting my pics, they were of the same SANI Pass, we did it this past weekend as well. We went up SANI and carried on to OXBOW, stayed two nights and left through caledonspoort and came home via golden gate and Sterkfontein Dam. 6 d...

Reset my KM/L computer when I left Durbs, filled up at Himeville and had 23 km left according to my range on the computer before I ran out of diesel, this when I pulled in at my home. According to Garmin, 857km travelled
Maybe it is a long freewheel from 3500m above sea level in Lesotho to Durban. :)

Hi, got my avatar to work so far, working in low range so the progress is steady but sure.
Thanks

Hi Jacques, Even with the filter being 'dirty' before reaching Sani Pass, my vehicle still averaged 12.7 km per litre from Durban to Oxbow and home via golden gate. Not bad and the one thing that has prevented me from buying a Hilux in the past was the high fuel consumption, this D4D motor is great,...

Aquanaut

According to the dealer, the light will come on and flash if the filter has water in it, and if the light stays on without flashing, the filter is dirty and needs to be replaced. the computer picks up that the there is a difference in the in and out pressure and activates the light. I bought the veh...

Aquanaut

I know this is a pain for many. Just been to the dealer to have my fuel filter replaced as the light stayed on and did not flash. Anyway, the sequence is as follows to reset the light. Once the filter has been replaced and the wire plugs are loose, 1. replace the both wire plugs 2. switch ignition o...

Hi Guys, and thanks for all the welcomes. Feels just like family!!

Sorry, but I need help posting my photos, just can't seem to get to terms with this. I tried writing a little story on my trip to lesotho this past weekend, but when I tried to down load the photos, all hell broke loose and lost the whole story, so you can see I am all thumbs and no fingers when it ...

Just been up to Lesotho, but I can't seem to get the pictures to the required size to post on the forum??

Sorry, wrong place to ask.

Aquanaut

Thanks, still learning to operate the forum, will post pics soon.

Hi Everyone, Glad to meet you all.
