Extreme Newbie got a Bakkie!!!
Hi guys
SORRY, couldn't help it! I know you all said to take my time, but this bakkie was CLEAN with a capital K Also mechanically, took my mechanic friend with to take a look and the only faults he could find was the rear shackel bushes and the sump gasket . . .
I attached some pics. :)
Now, if you guys thought I was bad before with all my questions, then you should stay away from my posts now!!! Got 15K left from the C2, and want to get a couple of thing . . . GPS, radio, tonneau cover, wheel pump, pressure gage etc etc etc . . . What else do I need???
First question, GPS, Nuvi 500 or Oregon 550? Went to safari center to find out, but the guy there was USELESS . . .
Second question, Radio, which type do I want? Handheld, VHF/FM or 29M? When my one friend bought his landrover last year, he got one of those VHF radios with, but is currently not working and not sure how to get it working . . . again, went to safari center to find out, but the guy there was useless . . .
Next question, is there anything specific to look for/at when getting a wheel pump? (Is that what you call it? Ek praat nou van n wiel pomp )
And last for now, anyone know a good place where I can get a tonneau cover?
Thanks!!!
Oh, before I forget, want to take the bakkie for real test drive at some trail next weekend (Landy also comming with), suggestions please as I don't know of anywhere yet . . .
Thanks Again!!!

Re: Extreme Newbie got a Bakkie!!!
Very nice!!!!
Get yourself one of these 160L/min compressors. They work like a charm. When fitting a radio I would strongly advise on VHF. This seems to become the standard now. It is not really necessary to have a mobile unit (mounted in the bakkie) as the handhelds are just as capable. But that said, the mobile unit is most definitely superior to the handheld

Re: Extreme Newbie got a Bakkie!!!
Congratulations Stephan!! Looks like a very nice Hilux. I agree with Cassie on the compressor and the radio. Talk to Eric (Family Dog) about radios, check this out : http://www.hilux4x4.co.za/shop/radios.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Awesome Stephan! You truck looks mean. Agree with Thys, 2 oceans is a nice intro. Nothing too hectic (while the weather is still dry)
I see you also stay here in Parow. Will keep an eye out for you

Re: Extreme Newbie got a Bakkie!!!
Congrats Stephan! Very good looking for an '89!! Enjoy!
Agree with what's been said above IRO your questions .... on the GPS I would go Nuvi 500, but that's just me.
Oh, .... and stay away from the "useless" guy at Safari Centre.

Re: Extreme Newbie got a Bakkie!!!
Re compressors: I have had a few of the 'double-headed' compressors and 'single-headed' the one's OW sell.
To date I have not found a better value, capable compressor that the TMax,
http://www.carid.com/miscellaneous/west ... 04830.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
4x4 Mega sells them for around R1200.00! I tested this comp and deflated a tyre x16 times from 0.8bar to 2.6 bar. Unit hardly get hot and is very fast about 25 seconds....I'm impressed

Re: Extreme Newbie got a Bakkie!!!
My bakkie is like a lucky packet!
First I find 3 power connectors/plugs already in the back. A "car lighter" one, one that is simmilar but smaller, and a square white one (not sure what it is called) . . .
Then, after spending my saturday morning driving around, looking for things like GPS and an air compressor, I find a compressor already installed under the bonet! JUST IN TIME BEFORE I BOUGHT ONE!!!!
And now lastly, I notice two tanks below my bakkie. Together they are more than 100L. Is that standard, or was it done like that afterwands? The two tanks look pretty much the same . . .

Re: Extreme Newbie got a Bakkie!!!
the 'similar one' is probably Hella & the square white on e is Brad Harrison.
Extra tank not standard, not sure if the '89 had 65l tank or 80l, probably the former. Previous owner more than likely added anther 65l tank. One also gets the coin type long range tank that fits above the spare wheel.
