Here is a pic of the NL Split charging unit wired up in the engine bay. I routed the wires in such a way to allow water not to affect the fuses should I have to cross deep water.
Photo0380.jpg
Also on the centre console I added three low power sockets to power things like the GPS & cell phone chargers ect. I also decided that it would make the ideal mounting point to locate the mini maglite flashlight that has always been in the cubbyhole...
Photo0376.jpg
Then I decided to add some entry assistance to the vehicle on the passenger side for the front passenger. I moved the only grabhandle in the rear to the front A pillar and mounted it there to assist the passenger entry and exit. Now it has two on that side...
Photo0374.jpg
I then fitted my Maglite LED flashlight to the driverside A pillar as this space was not in use and is handy to have it there.
Photo0378.jpg
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%.

Now next up would be the making and fitting of two special custom cup holders on the centre console and then also adding some extra fire extinguishers (1.0Kg) in the cab next to each front seat and two more in the back.

Then I will say that I think most fitments in the cab is finished, but I still need to work some more on the loadbin area for optimal space & weight opitmization when fully loaded.

Die einde van die mods in die kajuit begin nou nader staan...

Ek het vanmiddag gou vir my 2 cupholders gemaak wat lekker diep is en ook groot genoeg is om meeste tipes bottels, blikkies en dinge te kan hanteer...

Hier is so paar foto's.

Ek het ook die Veiligheids gordels se knippe so gemaak dat hulle saam met die bucket seats kan slide en dus hoef jy nou nie meer te soek na hulle as jy in klim nie.
Sbelt01.jpg
Van die laaste beplande mods is om 4 1kg Brand blussers te monteer in die kajuit, een langs elke sitplek voor asook 2 agter by die agterste sitplek. Dan sal ons begin kyk na die res van die voertuig vir modifikasies!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Johan daai mods lyk uitstekend. Maar 'n word of warning omtrent daai Maglite. Maak vir jou een of ander strap of knip wat jy daai flits mee vasstrap. As jy in 'n ongeluk kom of rollover word daai maglite soos hy daar is 'n projektiel en gaan jou kan uithaal. m2cw

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!!!! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

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.

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.

Ook ek behoort volgende week die hele roofrack op te sit en bietjie te gaan toets en kyk dat alles werk soos dit moet. Ek gaan ook n deflector voorop sit om die wind so bietjie te help oor die dak en wind geraas hopenlik minder te maak. Sal die verslag doen soos ek aangaan.

Mark I searched for sound deadning pads and found this at a local place in town. IIRC it costed about R 275-00 per box and had 12 sheets in it.

With regards to the heat, i just fitted that and some extra "underfelt aka dog blankets" below the carpets... Works well but still gets very hot there on long drive.

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.

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. :thumbup: :thumbup: Remember the 7MGE's exhaust runs on the "wrong" side and that causes most of that heat.

Hier is die inverter gemonteer op sy plek en klaar opgekoppel... Hy werk al te gaaf!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Let op dat ek het sover moontlik die unit gemonteer om so min as moontlike ventilasie obstruksies te he.. Dus het ek hom op n cradle gemaak pas wat reg rondom ventilasie verskaf. Ook kan die unit beter so van sy hitte ontslae raak.

Following the return from the long trip that turned out to be a quicker one... I have decided to put my Hilux on a Weight shedding dieet that will make it a custom sports truck that will take 2 people in comfort anywhere.

The canopy will be removed and a custom sports deck lid will be fitted to the vehicle. No Roofrack will be fitted also as I want to keep the vehicle light, agile and aerodynamic as it will aid driving comfort, speed & fuel consumption. The deck will be fitted with a rollbar that has been customized for this particular application.

Also I like the look of a SFA hilux without a canopy way more than one with a canopy fitted.

In the loadbox will be a custom system that will house the following:

1. 40L Engel Fridge/Freezer
2. 50L Watertank
3. Tent
4. Shower tent
5. 2x chairs
6. 1x no 7 Cadac and accesories.
7. 2x Strecthers
8. 3 x Highlid Ammo Boxes
9. Toolset & recovery gear
10. Kitchen & cutlery utensils
11. Portapotti for the lady
12. braai grid and Alva Kitchen unit
13. Second Battery for the Dual battery
14. Invertor

Also The spare wheel will be relocated to the top as I will be housing the 65L fuel tank where the spare used to be and a new 81L tank will be fitted upfront to make for a total capacity of 146L of fuel that should be enough to take me over a 1100 km's easy.

THe plan is to have the vehicle weigh around the 1950kg's fully loaded and fueled.

I will keep you posted as we go along on this, as it will be done as time and money permits me to do it!!!

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. ;-)
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

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.

Also its about having my Truck look a lot different and sportier. Having done the trip it is time now to change the way I live outdoors and be more free and unrestricted.

The idea and aim is to have the vehicle stand like the pic below when fully loaded for a trip.
I dont like a hanging rear end, so its all about weight. Also Open road performance & fuel economy will be improved by a fair margin.
Not loaded.jpg
Here the vehicle weighed 1970 KG's on the weighbridge. Tarre is about 1600. So already its loaded with 370 kg's which is more than I expect to load after the changes.

Brakkenjan's change - Project Leatherman

Post by JohanM »

Following on previous ideas and posts and seeing what other people have been doing for a long time, I decided to go on a unique project with my SFA.

Its Called Project Leatherman. Yes the idea is to keep it simple, minimalistic yet comfortable. Also Camp should be fully set up and sorted in approx 20 minutes. I do not intend to set up camp late at night and having quick pitching tents ect should help a lot.

Ideas were taken from a lot of different people and companies that's been rigging vehicles for different applications. Some of these include the G-Wagen overland vehicle from Germany (called Entdekker), Camel trophy Disco's, Many 75, 80 & 100 Series Cruisers that has been crossing our continent and also some ideas taken from Andrew White with his new Autograph vehicles.

I have visited many expo's, accesories shops and even fitment centres to gather ideas.

Here goes Project leatherman:

The 40L Engel and my Extreme Coolerbox will be living in the space of the rear seat. Also clothes cameras ect will be stored here.

On the loadbin, all the camping gear will go, gas equipment, shower, braai grids.

The rollbar is to be modified to house the 102 deep cycle battery, spares, and the compressor all in side accesible boxes that is going to be part of the rollbar fixture. The spade and Hilift jack is also mounted on the rollbar via special clamps and padlocks.

The vehicle will carry 81L in its new main fuel tank and will be supplemented by 4x 20L jerry cans on the back. Also on the back is 2x 20L water cans. The vehicle will have 2 full length front to back drawers fitted, made from lightweight materials. In here all the loose things will live and also a part will be dedicated to the kitchen unit itself.

Ontop will be the tent, shower tent, porta potti and some loose ends.

Below is a picture of the first dummy fit of most of the loose equipment to be taken along.

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.

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?

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. ;-)

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.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Surely there must be someone here that will make one. I am also keen on getting one. I already have a 65l under the spare wheel so the 2 would give me 200l which would be cool.

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... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

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.

There are some pics somewhere here ... will look.

Thanks Andy, I wonder who made it. I have looking for one for a long time. Ballies Offroad used to make a 220 l tank but he doesn't anymore, so have to keep looking.
