Hilux 4x4 Forum

Is there anybody who have one of these combination machines? MIG and TIG ? Are they working OK or is it better to just stick with a TIG I do not weld much, I need it mainly to weld body panels on vehicles and the odd Aluminium frame every now and then. So if I stick to TIG something like this might ...

Thank you, so if I want to use it for Alu and mild steel it must be AC/DC

I want to buy myself a TIG welder. But I see you get combination machines which offers MIG and TIG. I see some of them says "not suitable for Aluminium TIG welding" , why would it not be suitable for Alu welding? Like this one https://www.takealot.com/matweld-welder-mig-stick-tig-250am-220...

Baie bly om te hoor hy is weer reg.
Dit was nogal lank kopkrap gewees.

Daar is darem min goed so lekker soos as mens die fout self kan opspoor en regmaak.

Knap gedaan, geniet hom.

Sorry correction, he uses General Grabber x3

I love Coopers, on my 2nd set now.

But a friend of mine fitted General Grabber x3 (not Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac as previously stated) and I am amazed how quiet it runs.

Dis maar moeilik, mens weet nooit verseker nie. As hy koud is , haal radiator cap af en kyk hoe lyk water. Dit moet nie grys wees en moet nie erg olierig wees, soms gee anti freeze 'n olierigge gevoel. Jy kan hoor hoe lanklaas is hy gediens, dan trek jy die dipstick uit en kyk hoe lyk die olie. Is d...

Sal veel eerder die Hilux vir plaasvoertuig gebruik. Willys gaan jy net mee kan ry, amper geen vrag dra en as jy die dag parte benodig gaan jy jou dood sukkel. Die goed lyk mooi, maar onderstelletjies is maar baie dun. Landy is Landy, Hang af wat jy koop, oues se parte skaars en duur en Landies is n...

LiFePo battery is the best but expensive.

Will it be a permanent fixture or do you want to build something with removable box.

Rob use https://tiresize.com/calculator/ for your calculations A 265/75R15 is about the same outside diameter as your 31" Tyre A 275/65 R17 also has the same diameter. So if you fit 17" rims you will need something like a 275/65 R17 to get the same OD and if you have the same OD it will be...

My Solar panels has been fitted. Orienatation is Nort West because I attached it to the wall. I made it adjustable so I can change the angle. I used a 150 watt panel which is way too big to charge my 105Ah battery for the house's lights, but the extra size makes up for the imperfect orientation. Act...

Welcome to the forum. All the manuals we have are at

Isnt engine yn80 and body yn110

Thats interesting. Thanx for sharing

I like this, it would be awesome if they do it. I never liked Harleys much, but this one I would go for: BMW-R18.JPG The biggest boxer engine to ever grace a BMW series production motorcycle is destined to take the fight straight to Harley-Davidson and Indian. Less than a year after blasting onto th...

Very nice, seems to be in good condition for its age.

Sies, verf is 'n siekte!

Gewoonlik geniet ek dit, maar die keer is dit niks lekker, seker omdat graag ander goed wil doen.

Is the battery inside the unit?

Yes we sometimes also do not realise when it is load shedding. Only way to know is when computer's UPS starts to make a noise and the kettle all of the sudden do not want to work. I also installed some solar wall lights on the side of the house where there is sun. Those are very nice, you can add li...

Wow, cannot believe it is almost 5 years later. My 12 volt light system in my house is still running fine. Up to now I used a Victron 15 Amp charger to charge my battery during the day. About a month ago I upgraded the battery to a LiFePo battery. This made a huge difference. Because it runs at 13.3...

Daar is 'n verskil tussen my moet doen en wil doen lys. Omdat ek al vir 2 jaar die moet doen lys ignoreer het ek besluit om myself te disiplineer, ek moet eers die moet doen lys voltooi voor ek aan die wil doen lys mag werk. Moet doen: Nuwe kraan op gryswater sisteem installeer - gedoen Plantbakke o...

Done.

Peter, is it OK with you if we change your thread's name?

My list is so long I think 3 weeks will be too short. Today I sprayed down the whole house with high pressure washer. Tomorrow will start painting. Will paint outside, inside, boundry walls, etc. Have two balconies to chop off the tiles, re seal and put new tiles. Been finding excuses not to do it f...

Ja Nee. Is dead quiet., not even somebody splitting on his neighbour for not staying inside.

Kyk in algehele donker of die dizzy cap nie 'n kraak het nie.

Hy gaan mos niks kan sien nie ?

Laat enjin luier en kyk of jy enige vonke kan sien op die cap of drade.

En stel hom op 8 grade

Ja, as jy timing stel moet jy vakuumpyp afhaal en afblok

Het jy die vacuum advance pypie afgehaal en geblok toe jy die tyd met die timing light gestel het?

Hang af waarvoor die Dictator gebruik word. As jy nog gewone distributor het en jou Dictator beheer slegs die petrol dan gaan jy timing met die distributor stel. 'n Vinnige toets vir timing, trek die vacuum advance se pypie af en blok hom af met 'n skroefie, gaan ry om die blok en kyk of dit beter is

Het jy al vir dictator gebel en gevra of hy dalk sy verstellings kon verloor.
Ping is gewoonlik maar net tyd wat verkeerd is of 'n te arm mengsel.

Think the price of the engine might be the main reason why nobody fitted it yet

Won't back pressure on a turbo slow the turbo down?

Thank you, that is good to hear. How about some pictures, curious to see the new member of the family

Well done, glad you got it fixed.

What engine is it? If you still have a distributor you probably has one ignition coil?
Is it an electronic distributor or does it have points?

See if the wire on the temp sender unit makes good contact. Sometimes it is just poor contact which cause this.

Yes, it did. Thanx

Just in case somebody one day needs the info.

Plugs - NGK - BPR6ES
Oil Filter = FRAM PH2823 or GUD Z123
Top Radiator hose - RH7130
Bottom Radiator hose - RH7110
Waterpump hose RH7016
Air filter - GUD AG994
Thermostat housing Toyota 22R
Thermostat - MAHLE TX783D

Start with checking the earth from battery to engine. Maybe they forgot to put it back or dit nou round it properly.
Easy wy to test is take a jumper cable, connect one end on the negative of battery and other end on any metal part on the engine where it will make good contact.

Klink moontlik, as daar speling op die bush is gaan hy dalk nie heel in rat nie. Sal bietjie loer, dankie vir daai een.

On my bucket list but unfortunately timing not good. Will be in Nam that same time but my holiday too short to fit this in.

Jy kan my naam op 'n lys sit as julle weer gaan, dan gaan ek net vir die trip en nie vir familie ook nie.

What is the symptoms?

Verkeerde olie kan dit doen. Raak dit beter wanneer hy warm is?

Baie dankie. Dit was toe 'n lekker dag.

Testing 123
I received an error after posting just now, just wanna see if it is fixed now.

@piet yeah thats what I've been doing .

Problem is only when you seriously 4x4'ing and concentrating on the road I sometimes forget to hold the lever and then it pops out where you need it most.

Is the green better now?

I had to update the forum to the latest version of the software.
I lost all the modification I previously made.
Have to redo it all.
Will do it over the next couple of days so please be patient while the site gets transformed.

My KZ box is doing the same. The gearbox workshops also say they must strip it and see. I learned to just hold the lever with my hand for now, do not have time to fix now.

Eish, my eerste antwoord sou wees gebruik Toyota seëls, maar ek sien jy het dit klaar gedoen.

Jou diff of sideshaft nie dalk effe gebuig?

Did you clean / rinse the fuel tank?
Maybe you have water in the fuel tank ?

Try Wurth's Diesel cure.

WOW, looks awesome, very professional

Miskien moet jy dit dan op tapatalk verander en kyk of dit werk

Thanks a million Andy. 72/73 I can drill out if it is not close enough to 75

Dankie Dawie
Die Stout se afmetings is 75mm tussen die boute.
Sy thermostat se OD is 52mm

O ja the 5R engine was used, among others, in the Stout, Dyna, Toyota Forklifts, Corona and Crown.

We stumbled upon a 1963 Toyopet Stout.
It still has a nice straight body with relatively little rust for such an old vehicle.
Still deciding what we gonna do with her once she is running.

I am looking for a Thermostat housing for a Toyota 5R engine for a Toyopet Stout. I cannot find a new one but I want to see if maybe a 22R or 4Y thermostat housing will fit. Can somebody please measure the distance between the bolts on your 4Y or 22R housing? Sommer so more or less will be fine. toy...
