To Swop or not to Swop

[ForYota]

I need help urgently!!!!!

Came across this baby, well actually a while back when I looked at this vehicle for a Forum member..

Anyway drove past the garage today and saw this Cruiser still standing there, this time I took a proper look at it and took it for a test drive..

Only problem is it has a slight jurk when pulling away, other than that it pulls nicely and runs smooth... oh and it drives so soft comparing to my SFA

Now the big question:

After negotiating with the garage owner he might want to swop my SFA for the Cruiser..

And wait for it... it's got a Lexus V8 running dictator management..

My request was that if I am to do the swop they should sort out the jurking on pull away first

Your thoughts on this please guys

[grobbepj]

Het jy bici meer inligting v interesantheid... Jaar model, kms, extras??
Wat gaan jou nuwe forumnaam wees? :-)
Jy gaan net so bici die hoogte van jou trok mis, maar genoeg spasie "onder dak" kry...

[4x4BEES]

Wat is die waarde van die cruiser?

[Thunder02]

Why you still driving the SFA

Why you still driving the SFA

Was thinking the same

[ForYota]

die cruiser het 260 000 op die klok
1997 model

ek is baie angstig om te swop maar baie skepties oor die v8 wat elektronika en betroubaarheid betref

hy staan vir R80k

[ChrisF]

jy weet jy wil .... :) :)


as jy hier was het ek gesê vat dit na Izak by Dynotech - hy KEN daai motors, en het al baie van hul managments gebou van scratch af .....

nou om so man te kry daar tussen die myn hope ....



gaan n LANG naweek wees van wakker lê ....

cruiser se bakwerk, lyk mooi, km's is laag vir die 80'series, as ek dit reg het was die met die oopswaai agter deure oorspeonklik diesels. daai V8 en sy elektronika se enigste kwel vir my is overlanding, baie wat kan fout gaan, hoe voel sy rat en diff verhoudings,
dis o,trent hulle prys met oorospronklike engines, as die ombouing reg gedoen is is dit baie RRRccc mahala.
enige difflocks en ander extras?

[Thabogrobler]

Daai aircleaner is 'n probleem!

Gaan lekker versuip met 'n mooi water crossing!

[ForYota]

Julle verstaan nie. my kop draai soos n rondomtalie...

ek weet nie ek weet nie ek weet nie

wat ek wel weet is daai wa ry heavy lekker

hy het sy cruiser boks in. die ratte ruil fantasties en diwwe voel solid.
as ek tot n besluit kan kom sal ek in elkgeval eers moet veldjie toe gaan en kyk of die res van die drivetrain reg is

[grobbepj]

Klink v my die hart en g@t het klaar besluit en nou neuk die kop nog rond...
Een v my pelle het so maand terug so cruiser gekoop en hul ry maar mur lekker. Ek kan verstaan dat dit moelik is om te kies.

Wat maak jou dink om dit nie te doen? Net moontlikke "reliability"? en seker so bici meer stop by die petrol pompe...

[grobbepj]

O ja en daai diff lock sal darem daai quarry in jou agterplaas makliker maak...

[zepplin]

AJ is correct. Those barn doors usually came with the 1HZ diesels. The Km's are low for a Cruiser of that age. Seems to be pretty standard from the pics - no suspension mods. If the conversion is good & there's no problems with gearbox or diffs, I don't think you can go too wrong here.



And yes............they do ride very LEKKA!!!!!!!!

[Family_Dog]

Wat gaan jou nuwe forumnaam wees? :-)

That's easy - "LexYota"!

On the surface, it appears a good swop, but I can't help wondering why the LC owner would want to do that? Power a-plenty, but consider the petrol consumption as well - although it would probably only be about 1km/l worse off than the 'Lux.

Eish
this ia difficult one

you know your needs

As for the electronics, now a days electronics are pretty reliable
remember when I 1st started working, we used to have a lot of electronic faults on the machines
now days hardly any, must be years since we had an electronic fault

as for the stumble on pull away, sure that can be easily sorted
Remember that spitronics comes with a basic map and then it needs to be set up
however understand that in the bush one doesn't want to be stranded with electronic issues and complex systems
howeverI look at how many vehicles full of electronics go into the bush and no issues

self and know that many will not agree, me think that will be the ultimate cruiser

Good luck

Se vir die dealer jy is bereid om te swap, net as hy jou die cruiser laat gebruik vir 'n maand om te sien of dit die
moeite werd is. JY sal binne die eerste dag weet of die cruiser vir jou bedoel is of nie

[ForYota]

Nee wat ForYota se hy is nog nie reg om te gaan nie

die cruiser moet maar n ander baas soek!

op die stadium met die nuwe plot opad gaan ek meer met n bakkie kan verrig as a cruiser

[grobbepj]

So amper of daar is een minder ford op di forum (al is dit n half bred) :-)

[ForYota]

Net so vir die grap..

Die klomp by die garage bel my mos nou so rukkie gelede,,, stel ek nog belang in die Cruiser,, ek se ons dalk gesels ja, wel se die man hulle het mooi na my bakkie gekyk en besluit hul sal my R45k kan aanbied


Ek sal eerder nie op die forum uitlaat wat my reaksie teen oor die "lawwe" aanbod was nie

[4x4BEES]
