Re: Hilux dethroned as top selling bakkie

Toyota is mos aan die slaap, dit gebeur as jy dieselfde bakkie na 9 jaar nogsteeds bemark met nuwe stickers en n hoer prys, ek sal ook nie n nuwe (ou) hilux koop as ek die geld gehad het nie.

Re: Steering wheel alignment

Centering the steering is easily rectified by adjusting the tie-rods, the wear on the outside of the tires are usually caused by hard driving, this can be rectified by dialing more negative camber in the front wheels and rotating regularly

Dan kan jy net die splits insit, hulle het aparte crossovers en tweeters, dis wat hulle die helderheid en definisie gee, klink baie beter as 6x9's en kos omtrent dieselfde. Jy kan hulle direk op die radio koppel, maar n amp laat hulle baie beter klink.
