Hilux 4x4 Forum

Hmmm...
So I bought a set of facelift headlights and grill feom Wannenburgs which brought the look of my 2006 up to 2010 spec minimum and it looks good

I also bought the rollbar which looks good (but doesn't fit unlesss you drill 10 holes to make the screws fit)

They are waaayyyyy cheaper than 4x4 direct and looks 10 times more decent unless U look closer at the fitment...

The challenge here is that I can get a front ARB style bumper that looks exquisite for 9500 from Wannenburgs against the 4x4 direct version which goes for 12K + (which looks aesthetically Like a chinese knockoff but definitely proven to be the works if I read forum comment correctly..)

Guaged on the Wannenburg version rollbar now on my bakkie it looks aestetically cool if you ignore the mounts but if The same mounting issues surface on the bar then I'll have an issue...

Aesthetics ddon't fill the gap of functional fitting and longevity..

But where does one draw the line on price??

I'd love to have the Wanneburg look at their price but I certainly don't want to compromise body integrity to try and fit it

Has anyone here fitted a Wannenburg front offroad bumper and does it actually fit because the roollbbar sold by them certainly don't fit unless you drille some serious holes into the metalworks...

I don't want to attempt that with the structure.. I can handle it on the tub but not on the structure...

Please can anyone tell me whether the Wanneburg front offroad bumper will fit standard mounts without me having to do serious modifications... It looks like the Rhino at 9.5K so in my mind it's a bargain but if it's gonna mount like rubbish or stuff up the integrity of the chassis then I don't want it...

4x4 Direct do not sell rollbars at all.

In the end you get what you pay for.

I am curious, if you think 4x4 Direct's price is a rip off, as what do you classify those bumpers that goes for R18k or more?

That would be my question tooo.

Jandre, I must warn you. We are quite fond of 4x4 Direct on this forum. It's a family thing.....

I would reccomend that you find out the spesific make of the bumper, if it is from a well known manufacturer the chances of a difficult installation becomes a lot smaller problem.

eish... My writing always causes ambiguity.

Chaps

What I tried to bring accross is that I would rather buy the 4x4 direct unit @ 12K than go for aesthetics only at 9 K

Unless someone can tell me that they are happy with the Wannenburg unit in which case I would consider it but from experience with the rollbar I got from them I'd rather stay with 4x4 direct.

I'll never diss them! I'm in fact quite fond of them myself. Half the gadgets I had on my Cruiser came from them and the LED bar I want to fit on my hilux will most certainly find it's way to me via their doors.

I may think the bumper they sell looks ugly but I also the first to admit that with some things in life U have to look past aesthetics and rather go for quality.

Glad to hear that. We now sell 3 different makes of bumpers for the Hlux and all 3 are in the same price range.

Give Neil a call (011-813-5319) and hear if the imported bumper is still there, it is not on the site no more.

Otherwise there is the Nudge M

The BZT which is very very nice

And the Bundu which are also very nice
http://www.4x4direct.co.za/offroad-bump ... p-1822.htm

All 3 are locally manufactured and they fit very good, you wont drill 20 holes to get them fitted.

Jis ek weet nie
Al 3 die bumpers is monsters
Maar asteties sukkel ek nog om dit te kop vir die Hilux

Die Bundu bumper het ek soortgelyk op die Cruiser gesit want dit pas hom vir " rugged look" maar ek gaan nog so rukkie moet dink met die Hilux...

Piet,
Het julle nie 'n bumper sonder die rounding wat die ligte cover nie???

Kry een van daai en eks by julle onmiddelik!

Jasper jammer jy is so ver ... sou graag vir jou wou WYS wat my buurman nou gekry het ...

So paar weke terug het iemand in hom vas gery, en die bumper moes vervang word.

Hy reel toe met die versekering vir n after-market bumper ... en toe begin die soektog !!


Mooi advertensies in die boeke ... en die een wat REG lyk .... R30 vir n bumper !!!


Laat toe een plaaslik maak, by een van die top drie plekke in die Wes Kaap. Gister middag klim hy onder die Prado .... Hy het omtrent n blik Tectol uitgespuit .... Voor blink, maar agter nie so netjies nie ....



Nee wat, Pieter se pryse is goed, EN mens kan voel en vat aan die goed en seker maak jy kry die regte ding.

Ekke wil okke eene he

Jy wil nie in die Kaap een he nie, hulle chroom roes.

Dis n bietjie anders
Dink ek sal maar wegbly

Ja toemaar
ek het vanoggend die Wannenburg bumbper op 'n Hilux gesien...

Sal maar nog 'n maand of wat spaar en daar by 4x4 direct draai gooi virre bundu fit!

Ek het al n hele paar Hiluxe opgrbou met Wannenburg se produkte. Goeie pryse maar deesdae het ek langer gewag en eerder probeer om OEM parte by breakers te kry soms teen beter pryse as die chinese goed.

Dir probleem is die goedkoop goed lyk vrek mooi en blink maar net vir n kort rukkie. Die hoofligte krap gouer, die fake chrome grill krap gou en raak gou lelik. Die lys gaan aan en aan.

Persoonlik, as jy van jou Hilux hou en is trots op hom gee hom wat hy verdien en betaal eerder n bietjie meer.
