I have the opportunity to buy a house in Marloth Park and am seriously thinking of it. I know there's been a lot of issues around the security there, but last time I was there I did see a lot of security vehicles driving around and believe things are better Does anyone own property there, anyone loo...

That's awesome, like the magnet base idea. Any ideas on what the cost is?

Also agree with Stuart, I was looking on Saturday at some strip LEDs and thought I'd hold back for the show and the LEDs were more expensive at the show. A lot of stuff was definitely not "special show" pricing. The show was interesting and there were a number interesting things hunting an...

What's the limit on the number of vehicles???

I may be a very late entry, will know if I can make it later this afternoon.

Dingo

If you can, get the ones with the knurling, they grip better. Also make sure that you get the exact drill bit size you need, otherwise they can start to rotate if the hole is too big. Agree totally with Nic Also make sure that you seal the rivnut with some silicon and I would use silicon on the bol...

Kruger for me - Glamping

Dingo

Thanx :thumbup: :thumbup: It's not that scary, provided you don't have 2 left hands. For R800 it's probably worth the frustration, providing that you're confident that they know what they're doing. Shaun - go for it, it makes the Prado look so sweet. My rocksliders have also arrived, so I'll do that...

Okay, so some PMP (Pimp My Prado) happened over the weekend and I took the plunge and fitted the snorkel. Johno (MOFASA) gave me some advice and convinced me that it wasn't all that scary and it was that bad. It took me around 4hrs to do, but I was in no real hurry. There were a few challenges that ...

Silverton Radiators in Benoni re-cored mine ( with copper core) and only used the tanks from the old one.

if I recall it was around R2000.

Sorry Dingo for hijacking your thread

No you're not, you adding valid questions.

Is there anyone out there that can take pics of their fitment and specifically on the inside and on the pillar where the bracket is attached.

Dingo

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I haven't don't it yet - you Guys scared the #%$@# outta me so I've now got cold feet. Spoke to a couple of "4x4 fitment centres" and they want to charge me between R1000 - R1300 to fit. So I'm toying with that and trying to motivate that that's the right way to go.

Thanx Wayne, if I really get brave and can't find any suitable help, I'll give you a shout for the 102mm one.

I'll check back with you in a few months time to hear if it was worth the scars... maybe you can talk me into it ;)

Haha Shaun, that's why I'd prefer somebody who knows what they're doing to do it for me.

Howdy Who will be able to help in fitting a snorkel to my 120 Prado. I thought that I'd be brave enough to do it myself, but on second thoughts, I'm not too sure when doing the "HUGE" hole in the fender. I don't mind paying for the work done, just want someone who knows what they're doing ...

There you go ...... based on the Yaris and in CASTROL COLOURS, pretty hey Kevin??

That is a very strong possibility, if I understand correctly Castrol and Toyota have a "lifetime" agreement worldwide. Locally the Toyota's have run the Castrol colours for years.

Very nice, I'm about to start pimping my Prado too.

All you short now is a set of rocksliders and MT's.

Spray Prepsol on it, get in with a brush ( like a toilet style brush) and try and scrub off what you can with the prepsol, then hose off with a pressure washer.

Dingo

Awesome stuff Kobus, you've now made me even more determined to go.

I will most definitely be call upon you for further info - if you don't mind.

Thank you.

It's not over until they reach the finish line. Roma rolled his Mini yesterday so Nasser could also still have problems of his own. Or this can happen, how cruel is this for Alrajhi who was lying a brilliant 3rd overall. He stopped to fuel up and quick check before the stage at a remote service and...

Dingo

Agree with MD on the helpers and specifically having it shaped so it stiffens progressively, this way you should have a normal ride unloaded and supported when loaded.

Two hectic crashes at the same spot, fortunately there were no injuries.

A man of few words and even more so of smiles, that smile shows that he had fun on the marathon stage. Maybe he's just thinking of what Nasser's reaction was when he was stuck to his bumper at 190kmh.

What a story (if you haven't read the thread on the Community forum, I suggest you do), had tears welling up in my eyes.

The story from start , during and recovery is something outta a movie.

And then in true TOYOTA fashion, they turned the key and she fired up - amazing.

Sad news :( The Polish bike rider Michal Hernik (no. 82) was found dead on the selective section of the third stage of the rally between San Juan and Chilecito at kilometre 206. The circumstances surrounding his death have yet to be determined, as the competitor did not show any external signs of an...

Yes they do carry critical spares with them, like control arms, brake calipers, belts, small stuff that can be changed to get out of the stage. Yes the support trucks can help them, but these trucks leave after all the competitors have and that's normally a couple of hours later. As in Nani Roma's c...

He hit a pothole/ditch 10km's into the stage damaging a rear control arm - took 50min to repair, so he's just over an hour behind now.

Giniel is 2nd on stage and now 2nd overall

Where can one get decent 2nd hand Prado 120 spares from in Gauteng area.

I'm looking for cosmetic goodies - mud flaps (casualty of a teething puppy ) and drivers sun visor.

Thx Cobus

I'm getting pricing from Toyota and the local spares shop and will make a decision then.

So it looks like the water pump is failing on my 7MGE engine, there's coolant leaking somewhere close to the pulley and some coming out the little hole at the bottom.

Anybody got ideas on where to get a new one - quality and best price. I'd rather compromise on price for good quality.
