Hi Jacques welkom - Waarom nie n Hilux SFA body nie. As ju n defender body het verkoop hom / Ek is nie n kenner nie maar ek dink die Landy is baie swaarder en dit sal jou dalk te veel kos

Common Cuckoo being fed by a Wagtail. Cuckoos are clever birds. The Female lays her single egg in another birds nest. The other bird then hatches the egg and raises the chic. Sometimes the Cuckoo would push out the other birds eggs before she lays her egg.

SAC uni-chip all the way!!! Dis die beste geld wat ek nog op my lux spandeer het! Maak net seker jy se wat jy wil he anders sit die chip in met pre-set 50/50 economy/power.

I bought a complete WARN M8000 winch incl electricals for R3 000. It's in good working order and I just had to pay for a service. Henry that sounds like a good bargain - If I may what did you pay for the service? Another question please - Who and where would Warn winches be serviced in the Gauteng ...

yotaman

Andre sounds good. Whats the size/power rating of the amp? where did you install it? I'm looking for a good quality set up. Not a "doef doef" Golf 1 type set up but something crispy yet rich and punchy! I think you may just have the right combo for me to consider copying.

yotaman

Still hunting for a Warn winch. No, not new as that would be taking the fun out of the hunt and obviously too expensive. I'm determined to find that elusive bargain! Saw an ad; "Warn winch 6000lbs electric selling for R4000. in excellent condition! Would this size be OK for general straight for...

Thomas, carefull of the cheapies, usually controlled by elecronics. You will feel it in the weight. The wire-wound inverters are better quality and will last longer. Carefull of any heat-exchange unit like hair-dryers, toasters, kettle's etc. They consume lots of power. Check your equipment they wi...

Yes, I guess, and so are the general /overall stats!

99% of the farmers I know and see at auctions prefer Cruisers or have Hiluxes.

Was in Lesotho over the long weekend (16th Dec) went in at the Calendonspoort gate. Went through Leribe and so on. Just about every vehicle we saw was some sort of Toyota. Its really unbelievable! Sorry, I did see two Isuzu's. I once owned a Fleet Services / Maintenance Company in the Freestate (Mot...

It sounds like a bargain. They are awsome 4x4's and very hard to find with low kilo's To give you an idea mine is a '02 with 105 000, in showroom condition. Offers in excess of R160K wont interest me.

Smash & Grab: krap nie sommer nie. Baie meer duursaam D/C ongeveer R1500. (met Canopy R2200). Spares shop film: deur iemand wat weet wat hy doen so R300 vir D/C saam met Caropy R550. As persoon weet wat hy doe lyk dit baie goed en hou wel vir baie jare. Krap maklik en nie so sterk nie. Probeer d...

Frank n "body lift" op jou Lux van so 50mm gaan goed lyk. Vat Johannes van die see se advies hierbo. Myne is so 45 - 50 MM hoer, lyk vir my 100 keer beter as standaard en ek het nog geen probleme ondervind nie.

Imagine n pienk Hilux 4x4 met OME Lift kit die werke, LOL

Interesting, Willem can't wait to check your progress. I like your idea of going the S/charger route rather than the Turbo. I assume there's no need to replace pistons /any "inards" What increase in performance do expect? i.e. KW and N.m?

Appreciate the comments guys. I guess its gonna be a Warn then, the m8000i. Like the saying goes, "cheap buys become the most expensive" Bernard no, I will not be using it for hunting just needing a sense of security when venturing into the great outdoors with the family and the odd boat l...

Thinking of buying my first winch. Which one (make/model/size) would you go for, if you have an ordinary double cab Hilux and you are willing (allowed) to pay an average sum. grateful for any opinions and pitfalls
Have a Fantastic weekend!

The 2.7i pre-face lift and face lift (or Bullnose) fuel consumption difference is marginal (see reasons elswhere on the forum). This, I advise should not be factor as you may just not find a good example again if it presents itself. I see the 2.7i's are more sought after these days and unfortunately...

yotaman

Silly mistake by Toyota if you ask me. No wonder the pre-vigo 2.7i is so sought after in spite of some thinking its the most thirsty with poor performance! :!: Definitely not the case all round. The 2.7i is easily the most reliable P engine in the Toyota stable and with the right bits will out perf...

yotaman

Bos! ag sorry I mean Bosch 4 me, it just sounds right! lol

yotaman

I hear the new engines although better in the performance stakes and consumption (albeit slight) are very reliable but they do not last as long as the old 2.7i's do (@ 376 000Km yours was just run in!) These old stalwarts are truly legendary and together with the old 2.2/4Y and 2.4 donkey diesel pro...

Looks fantasitic Christiaan. I laaik the IFS Lux's which is no a pukka SFA!

This is a utilitarian vehicle, a workhorse. How does Toyota SA justify a price tag of R428 800 for a vehicle that is basically 1980's technology with a 1980's bodyshape and 1940's comfort specs? That is just nuts. These vehicles are phenominal, and I would buy one of these in an instant, but at tha...

As ek dit reg verstaan werk altwee batterye saam. Die probleem daarmee is as die een battery afgeloop is gaan die volgelaaide battery sy krag oordra na die afgeloopde battery.
