Hilux 4x4 Forum

Hi All, I need some help. I am interested in changing to an Electronic distributor. I went to my local Midas, one was ordered. I compared the replacement part and counted the number of gears etc. and it all looks fine. The one question I asked the guy which I need assistance on is this. In the pictu...

Baie Nice!

Ja nee. . . I don’t know how I would trust anyone to work on my Hilux. I did my SFA clutch some time back for R850. A friend told me a few days ago he just spent R4500 on doing the clutch on an old 1.7 Diesel Corsa bakkie. And what’s more is that when these okes have you, there’s no letting go. I wo...

I do not trust the 2LT Diesels, rather consider the 2.5lt Diesel from ford if you go the diesel route. Efi, good one, you will be suprised what you get. Lexus, POWER a lot of, but like said before, MUST BE DONE RIGHT THE 1ST TIME. Ja, I believe the Lexus is the right thing to do. But then you can't...

Hi All, What to do? The 2.2 4Y Conundrum. 1. Do nothing. Pro: Because! I really don’t mind the power as it is and don’t need more speed. I’m happy to change down a gear or cruise at 110 K’s p/h. Con: Bite the bullet and simply continue to complain about the cost of ownership running the 2.2 4Y? 2. G...

Maaaar... Ek moet se, ek kan ook die ding imagine met 'n mooi stel 33's op.

From Where?
How much

I think the question has been asked several times...

I too would like to go this route, but it doesn't appear to be a standard "kit" type solution.
How does one go about gathering all the parts?
Who has a list?

cyborg

My suggestion is to first have another person who can help. Then a trolley jack, (I used a normal cheapie from Midas). BUT! I would have liked to weld a couple of round bar "Fingers" to the round disk on which you rest the Gearbox. If none of this is possible do this... (My son, 9, helped ...

Always an teresting read this topic, but very dangerous too, 'cos suddenly one gets the urge to want to go change and swop and modify . . . My ongoing debate (Between me, myself and I) is how much, and to what length should one go, to get your Hilux as efficiant as possible. With the considerations ...

cyborg

My opinion... I say go for the Tornado. I've been around bikes a lot too, and from what I see in the smaller 125 it's total build quality is just way inferior to that of the Tornado. so you're gonna be buying a bike that will start braking very soon, and then there's the power, two days after gettin...

cyborg

Why won't it fit? (The Power Brake that is?)
Is it the Rim size or the type of rim you have? I recall somewhere on their site that they were asked to make something to fit a 16" Wheel, do they not cater for 15"?

cyborg

And we just broke 200!
And that was after starting out 2 above the Paj guys when I logged on.

. . . . Now that I was watching the thing a bit. . .
It pretty much boils down to this. And the Poll Should! have gone along the lines:
O - Hilux

In short......NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER take your vehicle to BIG BOSS AUTO, my car has been there for almost 2 months to get the brakes done, and low and behold they have done nothing.....blaming it on all kinds of retarded stuff......and now I have to get a court order to get my car away...

cyborg

Andy is right, retensioning is a waste of money. It is just a down payment on the new ones you will buy later. I'd rather buy from someone like East Rand Springs or General Spring and you'll come in at about the R2000 mark for all. And is this for a replacement, NEW, set of leaf springs? or a refur...

cyborg

Eish. . .
I guess there's just no cheap option here. I've spoken to Darrell at Mikem and he is one of the most helpfull guys yet!
So if you can scrape the 12k or so together the Mikems are my option too. But the Leaf springs are quite vital ne. . .

Hi Derek, If you're looking for someone to tell you to go with the Ford I seriously doubt you're gonna find it here.
The Ford has some nice features I guess, but when that Ford is buried and gone, the Hilux will still be 'Ploeging' trails somewhere.

cyborg

Hi Luke, I recon you should have some guys who refurbish them in your area, it seems quite a common thing. They take yours off, refurbish them, add a blade and Bob's your uncle. . . for a little over 1k or so. (you just got to see what the rest of the hardware looks like, that can send the price up ...

Mooi Trok.
En Welkom!

cyborg

Ja Marius,
Die events lyk altyd vir my so lekker. So ver het ek 'n paar GTG's gemis, aangesien my trok nie in toestand was on te gaan speel nie, maar ek beplan om sekerlik die volgende een by te woon.
My Bande is nou op, die clutch is in, so ek het nie meer excuses nie...

Cool, thanks.

Watse deel nou eintlik)?

Well as they say hind sight is 20/20, but I recon if I did it again I wouldn't ‘sukkel’ so much again. I put a sling around the front, behind the bell housing, into the cab, which my son pulled tight as I jacked it up, re-attached the cross-member and so we went on and it was in quite quickly after ...

Well I have finally done the clutch this past weekend! I'm so glad it's done, I've needed to do it for some time. ANd let me say this. If ANYONE, needs to do the clutch on their Hilux themselves, like me, for financial reasons. Please feel free to give me a shout. I've done many clutches, (when I wa...

Hey Chris, I can't think that the Diesel will do that, not with the way the Van is throuwing that liquid around in the tank, maybe after standing dead still for some time might the Diesel seperate again from the Petrol, but I don't think even then. As far as the Speed issue is concerned, maybe you m...

cyborg

Interesting reading this... I recon why not? 1 litre Diesel in a whole tank of fuel is so diluted anyway, and as stated previously, if you did it twice every six months sor so, I can't see how any damage can be done. Not to mention, what proof do we have that it is the cause of damage in the long ru...

Cool, thanks.

cyborg

Nee ek stem.
Gaan jy dit self insit of laat doen? Ek's niskierig on te weet wat dit sou kos om in te laat sit.

Ek het by Autozone in Centurion (nie een op Lenchen nie) gekry (0126635786). Ek het R950 betaal, hulle't nog twee oorgehad, en dis 'n LUK kit.

Ja nee, ekhoor jou. Ek het juis my clutch kit gister gaan koop. Ek hoop als loop reg met die joppie. . .

Hey Shaun, unfortunately don't have anything of value to add, but I look forward to finding out how you find the problem. But I agree that it sounds like a mounting. What about propshaft? could it not have taken a knock and now doesn't spin straight, if you know what I'm saying??

cyborg

Ja nee... some okes just don't get it. I'm just glad that I have my own Lux. Even if it isn't close to where I'd like it. I just hope it doesn't rust to into the ground before I can get it to where I want it. The money being asked for some conversions these days are also getting a bit silly. (Just m...

Thanks for the leads.
No luck yet though. But as they say, patience is a virtue. Something will come up.

Yislike thanks Koos.

The number just rings, no voicemail.
I sent an SMS as well, let's see, hope he gets back to me.

cyborg

Well I don't just want to find one... I found two in fact, on my Bakkie, but now I need two more, since the other two were cut too badly. I've seen it at Trentyre, but wherever I phone I get a confused voice saying that such a tyre doesn't exist...

Does anyone know where I could find this tyre?

This clip, along with one of the comments bellow, on YouTube has got to be the funniest thing I've seen this year. I'm sure many have seen it.
