Is Ek mal of nie???
Re: Is Ek mal of nie???
Ek dink dit is seker een van die bestes, maar veel duurder as die 7M conversion, met die 7M wat meer krag lewer...
Moeilike een, want die enigste ding wat moontlik meer vir die 2.7 kan tel is petrolverbruik, en dit kan ook maar dieselfde as die 7M wees, en dan is die 7M die beterder ene.

Re: Is Ek mal of nie???
Dis war, ek glo ook die 7M het heelwat meer krag, maar die 2.7 is makliker om te doen. Jy hou die standaard radiator en aircon radiator, airfilter bly op selfde plek, als fit net so in. Dis iets wat ek self kan doen. Net die electronics laat doen. Anton het die kompleet toyota electronics in wat ek glo baie betroubaar is.

Ek het 'n ruk terug iewers gelees van iemand wat 'n 3KZTE ombouing gedoen het en baie tevrede daarmee was. (Kan nou nie die link kry nie )

Ek het ook gehoor van n 3l KZ-TE conversion, die ou is baie gelukkig maar daar is 1 of 2 hak plekke. Omdat dit n diesel is, is die petrol bakkie se diff ratios nie reg nie, so top spoed is min, maar hyt 33" BF's op en dit help met die ratios, ook blykbaar het hy baie krag omdat die ratios nie reg is nie.
En tweedens id die engine baie duur, ek het N1 4x4 gebel want ek het dit ook oorweeg, en hulle het n rebuild daar, sonder electronics vir R35000
Dis bietjie duur. N diesel is ook baie duur om reg temaak as iets groots fout gaan.
Maar ek glo die diesel verbruik is seker 8km/l en beter, so dis iets waarin ek belangstel.

Re: Is Ek mal of nie???
'n 2.7 kan jou ook tussen 7 en 8 km/l gee en is in my opinie meer betroubaar. Ek kry so 7.3km/l op die oomblik. Die oom by wie ek hom gekoop het, het gemiddeld 8 gekry en 8.5 as mooier ry.

Re: Is Ek mal of nie???
Dis snaaks, ek het al baie gehor van die goeie petrol verbruik. Ek dink ek ry verkeerd of iets.
Ek het n 2004 SC legend 4x4 gehaad, 2.7 met 31" BF muds op, en ek het nooit beter as 6km/l gekry nie, of ek dorp of langpad, mooi of vinnig ry.
Net voor ek hom verkoop het het ek hom vir 1 tank regtig genurse, soos n ou ballie gery, toe kry ek 6.5.

Re: Is Ek mal of nie???
Die facelift 2.7 modelle is bekend dat hulle swaarder op petrol is. Hulle het ander head konfigurasies en die management stelsel werk ook anders.

Re: Is Ek mal of nie???
Jy sal sien elders is daar 'n hele bespreking daaroor. Die pre-facelift modelle was ligter op brandstof as die face lift modelle. Die nuwes het meer krag gehad, maar moes wel die krag iewers vandaan kry en dus verbrand hulle meer brandstof. Ek dink amper dit is almal voor 2003 wat ligter was, of so iets.

Re: Is Ek mal of nie???
Ja Caspaaas - ten minste is my Nissan klaar en reg as ek hom koop - en hoef ek nie soos Toy en LR eienaars soos afkophoender heen en weer te tjaarts om enjins en ratkaste en diffs in te sit wat sal maak dat die ding ook iewers kom nie .. en dan doen ek dit teen R50 000 minder en 5 jaar nuwer model.EN met baie beter rygerief. EN met beter 'offroad' vermoë. EN met V6 krag .. teen minder brandstof verbruik as 'n Toy ... laat mens DINK nê?
Bygesê, AL die insleep ouens kannie verkeerd reg nie .. ek sien daar is 'n paar wat met Fords en Mazdas sleep. Laasweek 'n Isuzu ook gesien .. maar verdomp kannie onthou dat ek al ooit 'n toy sien dioens doen het as insleep wa nie ....

Re: Is Ek mal of nie???
I am not going to even try and read through these three pages of afrikaanse, but what I would like to say is this;
If you want to buy a bakkie for R80 000. then spend R40 000. on it, do it make the vehicle what you want it to be, enjoy doing the mods, enjoy driving the vehicle on and off road, but please ask us for our comments before you just go out and spend the money on the various mods, you must know before hand what you want this bakkie to be able to do and what you want it to look like, it does not matter if you do not get the money that you spend on it back, if you can buy and then spend mega $$$$$$$$ on your vehicle, then money must not be a problem even if you loose it.
Concerning the locker that you want to fit for R4 800. odd, I would never go for that locker, it is too cheap, rather go and fit ARB air lockers.
Thus the bottom line is make sure you know what you want from this vehicle, you will end up spending more than R40 000.
you will find that R40 000. will not go far, just do it

Syron... askies dat jy nie ons Afrikaans so mooi vertsaan nie .. it becomes habit to just chatter away in the mother-tongue.
2-the-.:
Would you be so kind as to explain to me why a Gearmax at R4 800 [odd] is too cheap and a ARB at R13 000 is not too expensive?
How much is the ARB better than the Gearmax - and WHY is it so much more expensive than a local item?
Please - do tell

Re: Is Ek mal of nie???
Okay try and picture or let your thoughts down this road
If this person ends up fitting 33 or 35" tyres
A marlin Crawler kit
Doing a 3 or 4" chassis lift
80mm body lift
Revolver shackles at the rear springs only
Larger more torque engine
Maybe some wheel spacers
Fitting heavy duty side shafts (Longfield)
Wants to use his vehicle to the extreme
Rock crawling
Cross axle articulations
The Gearmax diff locker will not stand up to this sort of abuse
Depends on which one he fits, normally they are an autolocker and thus once again depends if he fits one in front and one at the rear or only one up front, these auto lockers are no good if fitted in the front, they do not come on when required and prevent you from turning when you need them to be switched off, I have heard of these lockers not lasting, I have not heard of an ARB Locker that has given trouble and thus if he wants to fit The Gearmax then let him find out for himself

Re: Is Ek mal of nie???
Simon/Mac,
I beg to differ: The Gearmax is vacuum operated and not an autolocker. It has been fitted as standard OE locker on most SA built bakkies, and is very strong and reliable. Maybe not for competition use, but I must still see one fail in weekend 4x4 driving.
The Lockrite is the auto locker. Cheaper than the Gearmax with the obvious short comings assotiated with full time lockers. I had one fitted to my previous 2.2 Hilux.
I paid R5,500 for my Gearmax, so the price of R4800 sounds cheap. Maybe excluding VAT?

Re: Is Ek mal of nie???
Like I said, it depends which one he fits, yes you are correct the vacumn one does allow you to be able to switch it on and off as required which is also alright, but they do not last, but at the end of the day time will tell which one lasts longer, pity there is not a survey that tells us which ones last longer than others, however thank's for your input on this subject. Maybe some other person can shed their experience on this subject as well.

Re: Is Ek mal of nie???
Hi,
I've got a Gearmax installed on my bakkie. Under circumstances it's the best that can be fitted to my bakkie as is. My only other option is Detroit auto lockers and I do not want to go there. To fit ARB I'll have to get an imported axle as I've got the local version.
I've I had a choice I would have fitted an ARB. The problem I've got with my Gearmax that it sometimes disengages at crucial times and then re-engages a second or two later. This cannot be good for the side shafts and will cause them to break eventually. m2cw

Re: Is Ek mal of nie???
Have the same problem. To fit an ARB locker in the rear diff, I have to change the complete diff as I too have a local diff. If you want a locker that is not permanently engaged in the rear diff (advisable) one needs to look at the Gearmax diff, or another vacuum operated locker as mechanical lockers will stay permanently engaged. I have fitted a Detroit EZ Locker in the front which engage once the front hubs are locked, and know of a few SFA and IFS Hilux bakkies with this locker in the front. One of which has crawler gears and 33" tyres, and is usually driven quite hard on 4x4 outings, without any problems so far. Has been fitted for about 4 years. The prize was R3500 fitted. Is a bit of a difference between R13K and R3.5K.
