Hilux SFA se bladvere

Post by HiluxJunkie »

Hi ouens;

Hoe weet ek in wat se toestand is my Hilux se bladvere? Ek het hom in September 2007 gekoop en dit is 'n 1990 2.4 DC. Is daar 'n manier wat mens erens kan meet en bepaal in wat se toestand dit is.

OK kom ons kyk, watter een is die beste OME, Ironman ens. Miskien het julle dit al bespreek maar ek kan nie onthou nie (nie dat Bulls ondersteuners nodig het 'n goeie gehee te he nie, ons wen dan amper altyd) Daar is ook baie nuwe lede en ek dink ons almal sal daarvan hou om bietjie julle terug voer te kry. Ek beplan om binnekort te vervang en daarna kom 33" bande.

In my persoonlikke opinie is OME beter. Dit hou baie langer. Ironman is goedkoper en nice in die begin maar raak gouer pap. Ek het self Ironman in en wil sometime upgrade na OME toe

Ek het in 1998 in Aussie kennis gemaak met OME, het dit daar op my Hilux gesit en van toe af is ek gehoek :shock: :D My eerste Hilux in terug in SA het stock suspensie gehad vir 6 maande, toe sit ek die OME's op. Dis ook maar my persoonlike opinie maar OME is die beste. Daar is 'n rede hoekom mens meer betaal daarvoor.. Hulle se mos "you pay with peanuts you get monkies" :D :shock: :lol:

My bakkie se bladvere is effens aan die anderkant van goed. Het nie 10 000 vir nuwes nie. Gaan egter by Saaymans nuwes laat insit saam met nuwe U-bolts. Kwotasie saam met arbeid so 4500 - 5000. Voor en agter pakke

Manne die eerste ding wat ek enige Hi lux SFA eienaar aanraai is om 'n ander suspensie op te sit. Ek het my OME ingesit en ek kan nie die verskil geglo het nie, dis 'n ander ryding 8) . Ja dit kos wel 'n arm en 'n halve been maar die moeite werd. :D Kyk my vrou hoef nie meer daai xross your hearts te dra nie want die stamp is uit die Hi lux uit.

Ek stel voor spaar bietjie meer, breek die spaarvarkie oop en sit 'n stel OME of Ironman's op die Hi lux. Jy sal nie spyt wees nie. 8)

Dobisons is ook tussen 15 en 18. Ek weet die Saayman industriele vere is hard, maar gepaar met Gabriel Safari Land Cruiser Shocks (wat ek nou het) is die rit nie so hard nie. En hulle lig jou bakkie ook `n bietjie. My vriend het op sy S/C SFA gesit en 3 weke Angola trip gedoen, sonder pyne

Cassie R15k sal ek maar swaar spandeer op vere maar ek reken jy kan kyk na R10 000 dan is dit kompleet stel sonder die steering damper en greasable shackles vir OME. Die Ironman is bietjie goedkooper en ek glo dis net so goei stelsel.

Wel die feit van die saak is dit kos baie maar dit is die moeite werd. Ek het egter op my eerste Hi lux die vere laat rol en ook die OME friction pads tussen die vere gesit. Ek het die vere ook laat sny sodat die vere voor en agter die as dieselfde lengtes het( Net soos die OME stel) Dit het ook 'n baie groot verskil gemaak in die rygerief en was omtrend R1 500 wat spandeer was. Al wat ek nog moes doen was om ander tipe skokbrekers te kry wat langer uitrek maar toe verkoop ek die bakkie :(

Cassie, dis shocks en alles.. reg? Ek het 2 jaar gelede R5700 vir 'n stel vere betaal voor en agter..
Stel dit so, ek het die ou gevra om my te quote op die complete kit en dit was toe R12500 excl greasble shackles en so R15K met. So ek neem aan dit sluit die shocks in. :)(dit was die tak in Eadenvale/Germiston)

One other thing:
Apparently you should not change the springs without changing the shocks. The shocks build up a memory, and you lift them by changing the springs, they might break... This was what I was told anyway...

A good practice as well is to take your old shocks you replace and strap them to the underside off your bakkie with heavy duty cable ties. This way you always have a spare. m2cw

Bulldog is very happy with his OME underpinnings!

Originally 6 leaves fore & aft, but I removed one leaf from the front due to the harsh ride. If ever I get a winch fitted, I would consider re-installing the additional blade again.

I do not want to step on anyones toes here but here my out. This is my personal opinion.

I have driven Hiluxes with OME that feels great and Hiluxes with OME that feels shyte. Same goes for Ironman as well as the replacement blades that guys like Spring Services/Van Zyls' make. My Lux has a Procomp set of blades up front and a custom made set that Van Zyl's made to my requirement in the rear, with a set of Procomp shocks. Nothing wrong with it but just like with OME I feel totally overpriced for what you get.

I tell you most of the times the reason why the OME feels so great when you install it is because your existing set with 100s of 1000s of kilos on is shot so anything new you put in would be a vast improvement on ride quality.

My Lux drives well on the Procomps and the reason I changed the rear was that the set I bought was not a complete rear replacement set but merely adder blades which is a shyte idea to say the least unless your existing blades are almost new.

The next time I buy an SFA ilux suspension again I will buy a softride set of blades at Van Zyl's ( or whoever is in the area that sells these replacement blades) with a set of Monroe shocks. Make sure the amount of blades suit your requirements.

But what is very important is to make sure you use a new set of polyurethane bushes with proper round shackle pins that have no visible wear or groves on them. Greasable is optional, but it will not really make a big difference in ride quality if you do not service (grease them) regularly.

Ek het in Desember die Ironman ingesit, het besonders van die prys gehou, anders het ek ook die OME ingesit. Die ouens by wie ek dit ingesit het, het my verkeerd gequote to kry ek die hele kit (Vere, shocks en extendid shackles met greasable pins) vir R8875, dit sluit VAT en fitment in. Hulle het n ou pryslys gehaad. Nou sal die kit so R9200 sonder fitment wees.

Ek is baie happy, maar eers na n probleem of 2 uitgesort is. Ek glo die Ironman kit vir die Hilux was nie gedesign vir die extended shacles nie, ek moes n mod doen op my steering arm wat van die steering box na die pitman arm op die diff loop. Hyt teen n angle geloop dat as jy draai raak hy an die u-bolt. Na dit het ek agter gekom my shocks is te kort, alhoewel hulle baie langer is as die standaard Safari shocks. As ek oor n gat vinnig gery het, kon mens hoor hoe hulle uitrek en klink asof hulle wil breek. Ek het Ironman in Australia gemail en verduidelik,hulle het toe die manne in SA gemail en die manne in SA het toe vir my langer shocks gegee vir agter, en Prado shocks gemodify dat hulle voor pas. Ek glo ek het so 70mm lift uit als uit, en my travel is lekker nou.

Ironman is goed genoeg vir die prys. Ek het soft ride ook gevat, so my gat gan le bietjie as ek swaar laai, maar ek ry meestal net 4x4 met die bakkie.

Re: Hilux SFA se bladvere

Post by victorhunt »

Ek het onlangs 'n 1994 SFA double cab 4x4 gekoop wat ek eksklusief vir 'n jag voertuig gebruik. Ek het 'n jagraam (tralies met sitplek) van 50mmx2mm pyp laat maak. Ek het ook 'n bumper replacement bullbar gebou met 'n winchbox. Die winch is a WARN M8000 wat sowat 34kg weeg en die bullbar is seker so 50kg (geskat). Die voorste vere was sonder die bullbar al pap (gelyk). Nou is die vere in 'n "negative arch" en ek sal iets moet doen om dit reg te kry voor ek begin jag. Ek het almal se idiees en menings gelees oor die verskillende bladvere wat beskikbaar is. Daar is geen manier wat ek nou OME suspensie kan opsit nie, net te duur.

Ek het vroer jare in Zambia gewerk waar ons Land Cruisers gebruik het wat ons eenvoudig met 'n dikker veer en dikker pak vere vervang het. Dit het baie goed gewerk en ons het die voertuie heeltemal oor hulle limiet gelaai. As ons vere moes vervang agv die swak paaie het ons gewoonlik die res weer laat temper. Wat is my opsies? Is dit moontlik om 'n dikker veer en 'n dikker pak vere aan te sit op hierdie voertuig? Is dit beskikbaar vir hierdie voertuig? Kan ek hulle net weer laat temper?

My werk is van so 'n aard dat die voertuig nie normaalweg oorlaai word nie behalwe as daar iets swaars soos 'n eland of buffel gelaai word. Die toerusting wat ek op het (bullbar & jagraam) is reeds gewigtig so tenminste moet die vere dit kan dra. Ek het nie regtig 'n probleem met hoe hard die bakkie ry of hoeveel hy stamp nie. Ons ry maar stadig en 4x4 word net gebruik as dit regtig nodig is. Die res van die tyd ry ons maar grondpad tussen plase en bietjie teerpad. Is daar iemand wat my goeie raad kan gee ivm die suspensie wat ek benodig sonder om oorboord te gaan? Ook wie naby Carletonville my sal kan help, indien iemand weet? Naaste groot plek is Potch of Randfontein en Krugersdorp.

Ek weet net van Deon by East Rand Spring worx in Boksburg wat vir jou n pak vere sal maak nes jy dit soek, so dik en soveel as wat jy nodig het, hys goedkoop as jy net die ou vere laat temper en n nuwe main blade insit en miskien 1 ekstra blade vir dai extra gewig. Dis bietjie ver maar gee hom maar n lui.

My naam is Clement Victor. Ek bly in Carletonville. Ek is getroud met Estelle Victor en ons het 'n seuntjie met die naam van Sebastian. Ek is 'n professionele jagter vandat ek 21 is. Ek doen nog baie vryskut werk maar het ook my eie besigheid, Victor Hunting Safaris Africa. Ek ry nog al die jare Toyota ('n Conquest, LC bakkie & LC stasiewa). Het by meeste van die mense wat ek deur die jare by gewerk het Toyota gery en sien altyd net Toyota as werks voertuie deur Afrika. Dis die enigste ding wat hou en as dit breek is dit baie maklik om reg te maak. Ek kan julle vertel van emergency repair!...het net nie so baie tyd nie.

Hallo daar

My lux se foor vere lyk ook asof dit negatief le en my 31'' vang agter as ek skerp draai.Ek het ook nie geld vir al daai OME EN ander nie.Ek wil my foor en agter vere maar laat recon en miskien een ekstra veer by elk laat by sit (dis nou die standaard vere) sal dit die bakkie bietjie lig ,en gaan hy dan baie harder ry,en watter shocks kan ek by sit wat bietjie langer is

Re: Hilux SFA se bladvere

Post by JBurger »

Ek het my 2.2 LWB ('85) se agter vere laat temper nadat dit van die plaas af gekom het. Jy sien kommentaar vroeër op hierdie onderwerp wat sê die voertuig voel soos 'n ander voertuig. Dit was my ondervinding ook. Dit het regtig gevoel of ek 'n ander soort voertuig gekoop het, sy ritgehalte was SO anders. My gevoel is as volg - ipv 15k betaal vir 'n nuwe stelsel, is dit beter om die vere te laat temper en weer 10jaar daaruit te kry. Ek weet nie hoe die pryse vergelyk nie, maar toe ek my '85 lux laat doen het in '91, kon ek dit met my weermag salaris bekostig, dit kan nie so duur wees nie. As jy dan moet, sit 'n ekstra blad by, maar tensy jy 'n spesiale behoefte het wat dit regverdig - moet nie die hele stelsel vervang met 'n duur aftermarket modifikasie nie. m2cw. (Uit eerstehandse ondervinding). :) :) :)

Ek het vandag uitgevind om voor en agter die vere te re-temper en een veer by te sit en die vere te maak om so 40mm te lig sal my R1100 kos as ek die vere self uithaal en terug sit maar as hulle alles doen kos dit R1750.Dit is by General en Spring in Witbank.Ons doen al ons werk se bakkies daar en hulle doen goeie werk so ver het ons nog nie probleme gekry nie.

Die vraag is eerstens hoekom verander mens die origional vere na 'n after market produk toe? Wel in my geval was dit vir rygerief en ek het dit gekry met my OME replacement en is baie happy. Die vere te laat temper en extra bladvere in die pak te plaas sal jou meer travel gee maar ek betwyfel of dit die rygerief sal verbeter op 'n hop hoppie.

I agree with this. I have also never seen Hilux springs last longer than about 6 months after re-tempering of the springs, even when this is done by Van Zyl's, who are very experienced with this sort of thing.

Go for Mikem, as Rich suggests. Good quality and price is not too shabby. Hilux4x4 forum members get a discount as well.

Even the van Zyl's replacement blade packs is a much better option then re-tempering aka re-tensioning. All that entails is that they strip your old blades, recurve them by bending them with a rather big (most probably 50ton) press and then they add one extra blade to compensate for the fact that the rest has actually lost its "spring" but now looks grat again as their shape is rounded like they were before. But since the extra blade now does most of the load carrying it soon goes pap (especially when articulating to its maxs positions offroad)and then you are quickly back to where you started

I bought my bakkie wirh Dobinsons springs and Monroe shocks, and have been driving in on that se-up for about 4 years now. My 31'' tyres started catching in the front mudguard, so i decided to change the front springs. Ironman was about R1300 per side in Kokstad, Old Man Emu about R1600 per side in Pietermarmiritzburg, and Dobinsons R1850 per side from N1 4x4 in Joburg. I didn't want to mess around with the set-up or mix and match, so I ordered the Dobinsons springs from N1 and had them fitted here in Kokstad. Courier was R485 and fitment R725. Total cost was close to R5000. Something is now wrong somewhere! I've had everything checked at different places here in Kokstad, and everything seems right, but when i go over a small bump or through a smaal hole, it makes a klunk sound, and it feels as if there is no suspension in front. Rock hard! I'm now also wondering if my shocks are too short? Does anybody have any ideas?

I replaced the full kit with OME when I bought "the dog" in 1995, with ride comfort also being an important consideration at the time. I was not dissapointed, and they're still going strong today, (no kidney belt required).
I must add that greasing of springs and shackle bushes is an important part of the maintenance regime, as it longer wear and maintains ride comfort.
I can't speak for Ironman or Mikem and I don't think they were even around at that time, which if true puts OME ahead in experience and design years.

P.S.

Monroe's used to be good but I am told that since they were taken over by Armstrong some time ago, they are no longer worth fitting for off-road purposes. Don't know how true that is, but I would have to wonder if Armstrong maintained the quality of the brand.

I'm not too sure, but seem to think it was somewhere around 9,5k fitted. There may have also been a weaker rand vs Aus dollar at the time (new democracy, en-oll). They were fully imported back then, not sure about now. That included Nitro charged OME shocks & steering damper.

Well the clunk might be the short shocks and the only way to find out is to replace it with longer one's. Well I did the spring tempering or bending thing on my first S/C Hi lux and it worked well and surely it will be more cost effective. I even installed the greasable teflon packers and cut off the springs to be the same size from the centre like the OME packs and it did improve the ride a lot with about 50mm body lift, but there is an old saying that says that you should do things the right way the first time and that is what I did on my D/C and bite a bit vas and did the OME suspesion. I did not do the shackels and steering damper (yet) to also save a bit of money but I can surely recommend the OME set for a Hop Hoppie as the ride is so much lekkerder. :thumbup: and you always have the wheels on the ground.

Usually holds true, but also depends on how fast you crest the top of a dune or similar obstacle :mrgreen:

Hi guys
My boet glo ook vas aan die retempering maar ek glo na 6 mande gaan dit nie meer lekker wees nie. Hy het ook nou in Januarie n ander SFA gekoop en daai trick getrek so ons sal maar sien. Ek sal maar OME gaan, so moet nog nie die prys opsit nie. :twisted:

Persoonlik het ek gevind re-tempering werk nie.. Net 6 maande dan sak die vere weer uit, en myne het nie almal gelyk uitgesak nie, so die hele ou bakkie het soos 'n hoenderhok gelyk en swak hanteer. :shock: :shock: :twisted: :twisted:

Nick, Loadhog's werk goed as jy wil sleep, of swaar vragte dra.

My Pa sleep baie boot & karavaan en dit werk vir sy Fordjie. Al ding wat ek gesien het laasjaar toe ons Rust de Winter se Bundu gedoen het toe hy saam was is dat die Fordjie sy agterbene baie meer gelig het oor die klippe.
My Pa se hy het baie die " diffloc" gedruk.

Mens kan as te ware dan se dit beperk die artikulasie.

Ek stem saam met Louis helper springs wat aan jou springpack vas is is net soo goed/sleg soos om lorry vere in te sit of 'n OME heavy duty op 'n petrol hilux sonder winch of swaar bullbar. Jou artikulasie gaan bad wees.

Wat die oukies by Van Zyl's Springworks in PTA vir my gedoen het, was om 'n kort extra blade ('n lekker dik ene) onder my blade pack tussen die blade en die sadle van die as vas te bout, maar glad nie die blade aan die res van dit pak te strap nie.

As my wiel op druk en die oorspronklike pak begin plat druk en teen die eksta blade vas, dan begin die blade so bietjie te help om extra support te gee maar hy beïnvloed glad nie die as se afwaartse beweging nie.

Nick. Sover ek verstaan is die beter opsie op die agter shocks vir raise suspension die Legend shape se shocks. Blykbaar het hulle en die cruisers se shocks about dieselfde hoeveelheid travel maar die spring rating op die legend sin is meer gepas vir die SFA. Op my bakkie het ek Ironman suspension met gabriel safaris maar ek wil in die baie nabye toekoms ander insit en ek oorweeg baie sterk om Monroe shocks in te sit (Legend shape se specs). Dit hang ook natuurlik af hoeveel geld jy wil spandeer. Jy kan ook altyd kyk na Bilstein en Rancho's (maar hier kyk jy na 'n hele paar rand).
