Hilux 4x4 Forum

Hi FD
Nice to put a face to the name.We should call you uncle FD from now

Hi Martin.
Die 2.7 lyk goed.Jy moet ons foto's wys van sy agter kant.

Groete

Hi Scotty I agree with what Piet and Bennie wrote. Regarding the cam issue. I did mine a while back. I was promised more power and better fuel efficiency. What happened is that my torque was moved up to the higher revs. I lost some low end torque. Which I think is essential for offroading.I am going...

Het jy dalk aan so iets gedink?

While we where in Nam I replaced my fuel pump.I got a gasket with the new pump,but when I removed the old pump there was about a 1,5 cm spacer inbetween.On the one side was the gasket and the other side we used Gemkem.There is no oil leaking out their.So guess Gemkem is not to bad for emergencies.

Same here.I went on Friday and they did not have.They ordered for me and it was here on Sathurday.Great service

Hi Piet
I see we are getting severe storms this week. http://www.news24.com/News24/South_Afri ... 63,00.html
Hope it does not damaged the flowers

Hi Piet
I am not sure.It is the standard ones it came out with.Are yours running via a relay?

Hi Piet
Have a look at F_D's toys.His got a picture there.viewtopic.php?f=2&t=77&start=0
They are transparent and you keep them on when using.I think it is a very clever idea.
You buy then seperatly at Midas.They go for R98.50 each.

Regards

Looks very good.

Hi Scotty. Welcome to the forum. A friend of mine also did a trip like this. One of his comments is that he had too many spares .According to him spares for the Toyota is readily available. One of the things that all Africans are good at is to make a plan. For instance his expensive aluminum roof ra...

Hi Piet.
Looks very nice.Looks like we will see some flowers on the 4?

Hi Guys.

I got my Hella spotlight clear lense covers today from Midas.Thanks F_D you mentioned it in one of the other threads.This protect the spotlight lenses when driving on dirt roads.

Hi Simon.
I fitted other plug leads and guess what?
It feels a lot better. I drove last night and the motor was 100%!!!!!

I will do some more driving today to see how it is, but for know it looks like your advice did the trick.
Thanks a mill

What do you think of this?

I personally do not like the sand ladder ideas.Unless you can use it for something else also.

There is even a VW Hilux

We use a 2.8 diesel s/c at the NSRI that only have 20 000km.
I will find out what model it is

Cool video. 8) .What motor are you putting in?

Hi FD

I agree with Simon regarding the storage.
Why dont you wait till Chinese 4y is out of warranty.Fix the origanal and use the Chinese as a backup.
Or is it a hassle with the registration papers?
My 2 cents

What a collection.The best of the best.

Just let me know.
They have 2 options the comfort ride and heavy duty.
I took the comfort ride.
Cheers

When I used to work on a farm we had 2 Hilux's 4x2.We did not require much 4x4.Only when it rain.Than we used the tractors. What I missed was the lowrange.Very usefull in the fields when pulling trailors or climbing up a mountain with a load. Thus if I was still a farmer I would consider installing ...

I can still see them

Hi Simon
It happened to a mate of mine.He was trying to snatch a Range Rover and the goose neck went through the windscreen.Luckily no one was hurt.

It is good that it is a built in GPS.
How is the battery life?

Hi Piet.

It is imported.But it is a bit of a diffrent shape.The side stickers are misleading.It looks more like the newer Surf/4Runner,but the motor and chassis is the same as the Hilux

Hi The best is if you speak to Darryl on 0826564473.They are in Cape Town(that e-mail adress is misleading).It was about R6500 installation included.He can give you the run down on the product and what diffrent options is available.My father in law installed it.His got a workshop in Parow. I took th...

Ja ek sal julle weer moet join as julle uitgaan.
Ek het van jou posts gelees op die ander saait.

Jis Martin

Hy sal maar sy pad soontoe kry.
Hoe is die nuwe Hilux?

Hi Simon.
It is a secondhand Toyota distrubitor.The plugs is new but not the leads.

Hi Guys I would like to hear your advise on a problem I have.Bear in mind I am a bit mechanically challenge. Sometimes when I pull away or on low revs.(1000rpm-2000rpm) I get a misfire.It sounds like I am running on only 3 pistons.When the motor revvs higher it goes a way.When I stop and check all o...

Hi Piet. I also looked at the phone.Looks very good.I pitty I upgraded 2 months ago.AFAIK the GPS works only when you have reception the cell tower tracks you.I could be wrong.If it is the case then it will not be worthwile for the bush.Get yourself a entry level GPS.They are not that expensive.Then...

They advertise in the SA4x4.You can contact them 0826564473 or darrelldockray@yahoo.co.uk.AFAIK they do not have a website.They have diffrent options.I went with the blades u-bolts abd bushes.I kept my old shackels.Did not see the need for new shackels or greasable ones. Apparently these guys have b...

Hi I recently upgraded my suspension with the new MIKEM Suspension. After a recent trip to Namibie I must say I am really impressed with the performance of the suspension.We where heavly laden and the bakkie had a smooth ride.Even without a load it was also a very soft ride. I gained about 65mm lift...

Well done.
Excellent work on the drawer system.Looks very professional.

Howzit.
Nice bakkie.Would like to see a pic of your drawersystem.

I see you spotted my damaged door sills.I am having it repaired soon and will try and get some rocksliders made up.I will make the design and get a friend to weld them.My welding looks like voeltjie *a*(bird droppings) :wink: Stock standard http://vangreunen.co.za/pics/j.JPG http://vangreunen.co.za/...

Hi Piet
I agree with you.In a total free market you should be able to purchase this car.One of the problems is if you buy it for that price non of the fat cats get any cream. :evil:

Hi Simon I was running 265 on 15" mags.I now run 245's.I am trying to see how much diffrence there is between the different tyres.I have not found much diffrence.Have not been offroad since.My bakkie gets about 6.5 k/l in town and about 7.5 k/l open road.I still feels it is abit heavy.The hilux...
