Hello fellow Hilux people

[ToyX4]

Its time to introduce myself....

My name is Riaan, 26 years old, married to a lovely wife, Yolandi, No children yet.

Just traded my 2.7 VVTi Raider S/C for a 2.5 D4D 4x4 S/C

The 4x4 gogga bit me, so now I just need that googa to visit my wife. She hates being in a car.

I'm a boer in Ottosdal, near uncle Family_Dog.

I will place pictures of my Toy in the members rides section.

Hope to meet some of you for an outing soon. But first I'm going on a 4x4 training course.
I think it is important to learn to use my vehicle correctly. Don't want unnecesary repair bills.

Hi Riaan,

No problem, would loved to have gone with you next w/e as well, but it's my last w/e home before going away to Durbs for a week and have some things here at home I have to do. We can tackle it (and Berakah) some time in December, if you're available.

Will let you know how it goes, looks a nice cool day here (overcast :D ) so it should be a nice trip.

Will be using the 2.7 for this one, will let you know how it turns out.

Now, if only I can get the spelling right... S-o-k-o-l-o....

Yis Riaan,darem lank gevat om te introduce,welkom by die site,ons wag vir die pics.

[ToyX4]

Hi Bosvark

Actually het ek al lankal myself voorgestel. :)
Kyk in members rides vir foto's van my wa. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=480

Wat dink jy van die foto?
Ek het die trailer, omtrent so 6 meter lank, met so 3.2 ton vrag op die trailer, en so 600kg op die bakkie, 200km ver gesleep.
Die trailer alleen weeg so 1 ton. Maar ek sal nie weer nie, ek sal my bakkie opf**.

[Niel]

Die toy's is mos gemaak vir sulke dinge. Jy kon nog die Putco bus opgelaai het ook :D :D .

[ToyX4]

Se ek ook Niel, maar glo my, die man het gebrul! :!:
Ek sal dit nie elke dag doen nie, maar so eenkeer n skrikkel jaar is seker reg.

Ek het die dag voor my trippie n Isuzu met dieselfde trailer uitgesleep wat vasgesit het, met net oor die 4 ton voer op die trailer. Dit was vir my lekker.

[Niel]

Wintie :D :D :D Wat was jou brandstof verbruik met die lee en vol trailer Die ouens se die nuwe shape toyota is bietjie ligter op die sous

[ToyX4]

Niel, ek het so 200km leeg gesleep en 200km vol vrag terug plaas toe.

Die verbruik vir die trip was so 6.4km/l. Maar ek het meeste van die tyd 60km/h gery, as pad gelyk was 80km/h.
Met my ex-2.7 VVTi het ek normaal omtrent 6.9km/l gekry, en as ek sleep, baie ligter as die vrag, so 4-4.5km/l.

Normaal met die 2.5 D4D kry ek so 10km/l.

Ek moet se die 2.5 D4D is n BAIE beter sleepvoetuig as die 2.7 VVTi.
O ja, is almal wat n Hilux ry nie maar n bietjie wintie nie
Ons mag mos wees :!:

[Niel]

Ek se ook daai ding :!: :D :D 8) 8)
