Dankie Heinrich, ek is nou so amper klaar met baie dinge... En jy weet wat gebeur gewoonlik sodra jy uiteindelik tevrede is met alles en die voertuig............Dan is dit gewoonlik tyd om die voertuig te vervang en weer voor te begin...Traveler wrote:Johan, dit is erge custom werk. Jy doen uitstekend!

I also mounted rear safety belts to my SFA as it never came fitted with them, so for the safety sake of small children in the back they have been fitted and is working 100%.

Moet se, jou bakkie lyk nou baie goed.
Cassie, dankie ek sal bietjie gaan kyk vir 50mm wyd velcro straps om te gebruik sodat hynie kan roer nie..CasKru wrote:Johan daai mods lyk uitstekend. Maar 'n word of warning omtrent daai Maglite.

Daai sal perfek werk veral as jy die einste skroew wat die bracket vashou gebruik om die strap onder vas te trekToro-Adventures wrote:Cassie, dankie ek sal bietjie gaan kyk vir 50mm wyd velcro straps om te gebruik sodat hynie kan roer nie..CasKru wrote:Johan daai mods lyk uitstekend.

Johan,Dit lyk my jy kom mooi reg.Daai roofrack kan die puch vat.Lekker werk. nie met alle roofracks wat jy kan doenJohanM wrote:Hier is van die laaste modifikasies wat huidiglik op die Hilux gedoen word vir die voorbereiding van die eerste 4 weke solo Trip na Zambie noord toe!!!!
Roofrack, Inverter wat huidiglik gefit word.
Die roofrack kry 2x double jerry can brackets asook `n bracket vir die graaf & 2x No 7 Gasbottels.
Verder moet ek die inverter agter in monteer waar ek dit kan by kom, goeie ventilasie het en ook nie water naby kan kom nie...
Hier is so paar foto's solank.
Die roofrack
Die nuwe 1000w Hawkins inverter...
Dawie ja hy is bietjie swaarder as die lightweight modelle, maar ek staan op die een en werk soos hy daar op die foto is... Nie ideale werks plek nie, maar dit werk heel goed vir nou.Lollie wrote:Johan,Dit lyk my jy kom mooi reg.Daai roofrack kan die puch vat.Lekker werk. nie met alle roofracks wat jy kan doen
Heinrich die Inverter word agter in die canopy gemonteer agter die tool cabinet want dis hoog en droog daarso!!! Sal nog foto's opsit as ek die naweek hom fit.Traveler wrote:Johan, waar mount julle die inverter?:
Mark, take the seats out, strip out the carpets and lay 2 layers of those cheap grey dog blankets you get from Trade Center over the tunnel and on the floor of the vehicle. 2 layers over the tunnel works fine, but if you want to you can do 3 layers. Refit the carpets and seats. You have now reduced road noise and installed heat insulation inside the cab. I did this in Kaspaas and it works like a charm. Remember the 7MGE's exhaust runs on the "wrong" side and that causes most of that heat.Gunta wrote:I wonder if one can get some aluminium sheet that can be pop rivited inside the tunnel. It gets very hot on a long drive. Would be nice to find a solution for this.
Stef ek sal die deurpanele doen sodra ek terug is van die trip af... wil dalk dan sommer ook doorpockets laat aanbring en dalk selfs groter en gemakliker armrests.Stef wrote:So waneer doen jy jou deur panele, smaak my jy het nog baie materiaal oor

Andy, im looking at creating something unique that will suit me and my lifestyle better than the standard setups that is the norm. Had enough of canopy's ect. Going for a sporty look and a lightweight setup now to make it work for long trips and weekends away alike.Mud Dog wrote:Johan, I've always said that weight is the enemy and I'm happy to see that you're on the right track in my book. I don't believe in drawer systems, they just add a lot of extra weight, but prefer modular packing with light weight ammo cases. This method doesn't restrict you as much as a drawer system IRO of weight distribution either. You can easily pack the heavier stuff forward and low to even axle loads and control COG better.
Chris I will post some pictures of it once I get a chance to take some more detailed pics of it....ChrisSwart wrote:Hi Johan
Can we get some more pictures of the dustproofing you did at the back?
Mark ek oorweeg dit, maar op die stadium moet ek eers die 81L IFS tank maak pas op my SFA chassis en dan gaan ek moontlik die 65L sit waar die Sparewheel nou is, maar sal eers kyk of daar gefit kan word soos ek hom daar wil he. Maar selfs dan sal ek nogsteeds 2x moet saamry op lang afstande. Sal nog alles mooi uitwerk.OOOOMS wrote:x6 Jerry cans......sell 'em and fit a LR tank :!: :!: :!:
Mark as ek die ander tenk insit wil ek vir hom 'n aparte filler cap opsit sodat ek die tenks apart kan volmaak. Ook sal ek dan die agterste tenk net laat oorpomp in die voorste tenk in. Die idee is om te probeer gebruik wat daar is sonder om nuwe tenks te laat bou, maar die hele prentjie kan nog verander binne die volgende week of so.OOOOMS wrote:Ek verstaan nou nie, kan jy nie 'n groter tank fit nie? Ek het sowat 'n 90 / 95l op my SFA gehad wat ek laat maak het?
Thumelo, Compressor is part of no 9 of the list, but im still changing a lot of things here before going for the final setup.Donkey wrote:But seriously I think you're onto something worthwhile, it's all about your way of camping/overlanding and as you say the stuff sold in 4x4 shops do not always cater for personal needs/style. You did not mention a compressor or is it in #9?
What tank did you use to get 130l?Mud Dog wrote:My old SFA had a single 130 lit tank with a range of well over 1000 km's depending on terrain, load etc.. Why anyone would want to fit a tank in the place of the spare wheel is beyond me, unless you're running such big tyres that they cannot fit there. Tanks (when full) and spare wheels are heavy items, so ideally they should be kept low down for an improved COG. So leave the spare wheel in place and modify the single tank .... a 1000 times more practical and far, far, far less expense and hassle in both the mod and everyday use. Filling is quick ... no annoying airlocks. Fuel / water stays cooler under the vehicle. It's also safer under there. Your load bin which is already small on an SFA is then left purely for loading whatever you need to. If you REALLY need to, you can pack an extra jerry can or two.
For a very good reason I have ignored that item!!! :wth:Donkey wrote:I see you chose to ignore item # 15
Mark I have looked at importing a longranger tank for the SFA from Aus, but i would have worked out to +/- R 8000-00 with all duties ect as I knew they made a 128L replacement long range tank for the SFA D/C.Gunta wrote:What tank did you use to get 130l?
You can import one from CT for half the price and your only duties would be to come buy us a beer or 2..... Just like the one in Swartvark...JohanM wrote:Mark I have looked at importing a longranger tank for the SFA from Aus, but i would have worked out to +/- R 8000-00 with all duties ect as I knew they made a 128L replacement long range tank for the SFA D/C.Gunta wrote:What tank did you use to get 130l?
The tank was already in when I bought the vehicle, so I don't know where it was sourced, but it was a single poly-propylene (or something similar) tank. Had no hassles with it .... stood up to the heat of the exhaust without any hassles ... side walls were quite thick. It extended over the prop-shaft and utilised the empty space on the LHS above the exhaust .... the extension was full width and breadth of that space and about 120mm high.Gunta wrote:What tank did you use to get 130l?Mud Dog wrote:My old SFA had a single 130 lit tank with a range of well over 1000 km's depending on terrain, load etc..
