Sit in dieselfde bootjie...my bakkie het ook nog die standaard swart rubbers gehad met die res almal OME geles...en jy kan dit nie apart bestel nie, jy moet 'n vol stel bushes koop teen 'n effense premium, dink amper dit was R1200 vir een kant Op die ou end maar 'n by N14x4 reg gekom maar die bushes...

Stef

Tx Louis Neem aan jy doen dit met die bakkie wat op sy wiele staan? Ek druk sommer my arm deur die venster en kyk so hoeveel grade die stuurwiel draai voor die wiele reageer, draai natuurlik moeiliker waneer die bakkie stil staan so mens moet maar ry ook. PS ek het nie die "ball pins" verv...

copper compound ghries...?

Stef

I doubt if one would get excessive wear as a result of more tension...if you look at the drag link the spring is in the front part of the barrel on one end and in the rear part on the other end. The latter being on the steering box side if memory serves So my reasoning is that when turning you would...

Stef

Hier was 'n thread iewers oor polycomp bushes, sal moet soek...

Stef

Kinda what I thought, but I wanted some more tension so that it is a bit stiffer to prevent steering play on bad roads. Was just afraid of making it too tight and bending the link in the event of hitting a pothole for example.

Stef

Replaced the cups, springs etc on the draglink....how tight should the springs be?
The new ones are slightly longer than the old ones, guess the old ones are just worn. I turned the tension screws deep enough for the split pin to fit +- another half turn.

Skies, ek het vergeet om te sê, die Velocity se patroon lyk nes die Grabber s'n en kom in 'n 31", ek het R1700 elk betaal als ingesluit

Welcome Archie.

Not too worry ...my lux is also "hardebaard" LOL

@ Dawie, dankie ma ongelukkig nie....die graad vd olie is baie belangrik...viskositeit ens moet reg wees anders gaan mens skade kry. 5W40 is 'n vol sintetiese olie vir onder andere VW 502.** standaarde, gebruik dit oppi Polo ZX10R Service manual sê 10W40...en dan 'n klomp standaarde.

Would a pool filter work for this? Can't see why not...

Stef

R160K is a bit rough, but I also agree with Hugo.. to add them on yourself will cost more than R60k and then you sit with the risk of not recovering the money spent Good Kz's should fetch about R120k easy in standard form IMO; add R20k for suspension, R12k for the bumper and a modest R20k for the ca...

Stef

Shaun Pollock does it....

Seriously though, don't have any issues with back washing on the lawn; the algae seems to do wonders for the LM grass when the pool is green.

Stef

Saw a nice tip in the local paper....take a 2L cool drink bottle and fill it with sand, put the cap back on and drop in the cistern of the loo, thus a 2L saving on each flush.

Stef

We try to use each other's bath water as much as possible. Limit toilet flushes as far as hygienically possible (and don't flush waste that can go into the dustbin) Sprinkler system program changed to literally just keep the lawn from dying off Leaves from trees left in flower beds to retain moistur...

@ Andy, yes, for wet/dry
@ Thabo, Naskar ook nie gehad nie...ook nie Gwagen nie..3 takke probeer

On this side of the planet you only get this at the bike shops or at the larger bike tire and accessory outlets. Dont even bother with the normal automotive outlets .... Just plan ahead for the next service and pick up the parts ahead of time. Het dit probeer...nie eers Full Throttle hier het gehad...

Stef

31's ni veel wyer nie, maar net 21 mm....so ek glo nie dit sal uitsteek met standaard mags nie

Ek't sommer Velocity opgesit by TWT, goedkoop en glad nie sleg nie; loop stiller as die Coopers wat ek gehad het.

Stef

So I decided to do the 54 000 km service myself....R3500 at the agents every 6 000km's is just not on. Always been a fan of Liqui Moly and they have 2 variants in the 10W40..the normal 4T and then the street race variant, but no-one in the entire Pta area stocks it...only the normal car oil :frustra...

Stef

Maw die diameter op die 31's is 39mm groter as die 245 en is 266mm wyd teenoor 245mm

dus 266/76 R15

Stef

Some off-road tyres use the above type size markings while others still use the older American markings, for example - 31x10.5R 15 LT. The significance of these markings are as follows:- 31 = The outside diameter of the tyre in inches. 10.5 = The section width of the tyre, in inches. R = Radial Cons...

Stef

Awesome & welcome

Looks nice with the KZ mags on it

If I may ask, how much did you have to cough up for that fine specimen? (just help settle some debate

)

Stef

Couldn't agree more....of course there is the price debate as well, especially on the SFA's... :surrender: I guess it depends on whether your intentions are to drive the vehicle for a long time to come or if you would be selling in 3 years time, and what your appetite for DIY/TLC is, not to mention ...

He installed the Standard Gabriel Safari in front, and Gabriel Safari HDP's at the rear. Both of these are the twin tube shocks, and operates the same principle as most well known brands (which costs you double the price).

Stef

Don't disagree there, with the key words being competent and enforcement. One could add integrity as well but it seems to be a swearword in SA these days

I also agree with Andy, rules should make sense and IMO be reasonable and readily available so that motorists could comply

Stef

Would LOVE some more roadblocks - not only on the highways, but in town. MOST of the "blinding lights" relate to poorly maintained vehicles and miss-alligned lights. Then off course the drivers using high beams .... These have been increased on the road I use to work...more of an annoyanc...

Stef

So volgens "ricer math" hoort daai safari's lekke te werk saam my OME blades....sou graag die geel shocks wou insit maar het nie genoeg ZAR's nou nie

Is daar 'n spesifieke model nommer/lengte?

Juis 'n 50kg sak gekoop by Obaro hier aan my kant v Pta...R320; BWh en Chamberlains is te duur met die 10Kg sakke
Kan my graperk so 6 keer of meer bedek afhangend hoe dik ek hom gooi; so 'n sak hou my ten minste 2 seisoene.

Jy kan dalk Uniontech probeer; hulle doenLED ligte vir noodvoertuie.

Hulle is in Rosslyn, dink amper nou in Midrand ook. Ook nie te moeilik om self te bou nie, dis net die fancy casing wat 'n probleem is

Interssante conversion...en welkom op die forum

Stef

Welcome Depends on how you camp, but I'd say with your budget you could look at the IFS types like the 3.0 KZTE or 2700i which could set you back as much as R160k depending on year, condition & extras. One could get the newer Vigo shape (2.5 or 2.0 D4D or 2700i) for under R200k but generally the...

Stef

I would venture an estimate at +- R130k
Decent Kz's are still desirable, mileage not that high and at the price of a new Hilux I think one should get that easy....even SFA's are still reaching R100k

Gaan dit seker net nog makliker maak om wettige wapens uit wets gehoorsame burgers se hande te kry reguit in die kriminele s'n in.

Or a mint Legend 45 at R 400 000.
