Duwayne

Seen pics of fitted left and right. Assume our models air intake is on the right "drivers" side?

Duwayne

Seems like more guys looking at the Hilux snorkel on the Terios

Duwayne

ooops, sorry guys for the CAPS - programs I work with only opperate in CAPS so usually on :)

Duwayne

WILL TRY TAKE WHEN PAST IT NEXT TIME

Duwayne

YIP SAW IT YESTERDAY EVEN HIGHER HEY! ASSUME ALSO SJ410 CHASSIS?

Duwayne

Hi Guys,
Thought you might find this amusing. Neighbour put a mini body on SJ410 running gear, with nissan 1400 engine.
Dont comment on the wheel arch clearance issue on Articulation etc still busy sorting issues out.
Had to build a tunnel for the gearbox etc, big job, but looking cute in my opinion.

Duwayne

ja thx
Toyota quote:

Duwayne

WOULD I HAVE TO PULL OUT THE ENINGE TO FIX OR JUST THE GEARBOX?= IF EITHER OR gearbox spigot shaft seal or the engine rear main crank seal

Duwayne

THANKS GUYS FOR THE QUICK REPLY - AUTO GEARBOX MUCH APPRECAITED!

Hi Guys, I am not sure if this topic is still active but I am in the process of getting quotes for 13 snorkels for the guys on the Land Cruiser site. Same part numbers so seems like the same supplier. If this topic is still active then I will not make this offer, but if it is cold then enquire from ...

Duwayne

Hi guys, it is a small world indeed. This bakkie that i was after last year is up for sale now, repaired of the blown top gasket. funny it is just aroudn the corner form my home :) Also see on gumtree - http://capetown.gumtree.co.za/c-Cars-Vehicles-Motorbikes-Parts-vans-caravan-rvs-wagons-Toyota-Hil...

My 89 import and 92 local both have the chrome flip down cover. Both are just turn on and off - key doesnt work anymore. Anyone out there with a cap that does work for interest - seems like they break easily....

Duwayne

Thanks Bretton Appreciate it!!!!
TOYBOX, I'm right behind you!
Gonna clean up tonight if time permits.

Duwayne

Hi Bretton,
You got part number? Big job then or straight forward? What $ am i looking at?

Duwayne

hi guys, know it is difficult to see from the pics coz of all the oil and dirt but any suggestions what this leak could be? cant make out if it is oil or power steering fluid. any suggestions besides cleaning :). could it be the Oil seals on Steering box etc? is this a big job?

Duwayne

mine works as well - thanks! Just gave me such a fright the other night all alone in the dark and it went BZZZZZZ! I got a loud buzzer

woke me up hey!

Duwayne

hi guys,
papers are not gonna happen. Owner prepared to sell without papers, Spikevz was next in line for her. He can update us on the outcome of this one and how she drives especially wots up with the t case.

Duwayne

Hi Guys, I am still trying to chase this one down. I must say it is a frustrating game as the owner is overseas and has a representative (nice lady) but not too interested in selling the vehicle. It seems that the papers are in Zambia still, so most likely it was not a legal import to SA. Papers, Pa...

Duwayne

Hi, sent you a PM

Duwayne

I already sent a mail asking to buy the moulds. think he is gonna get duk of the phone calls :)

Duwayne

Hi Rich, Ja liek you know that Surf still in Limbo.... BUT is saw the missing flare in the back under the original owners clothes and stuff, so i assume whoever buys the surf if ever is for sale then you get a free pair of pants and socks etc to go with it :shifty: Ja I'm busy enquring about flares ...

Duwayne

not just yet - 1 or 2 afternoon dreams to go

Duwayne

hi Noob, how are you, well I am - was your opposition. So we are chasing the same girl for a date here :) I went to look at the surf on Sunday. i have been keeping Rich up to date as well. if you want my side of the chase send me a pm or email me at dfox@rrs.co.za even got videos of the engine runni...

Duwayne

Hi, I had that when i got my Lux. Turned out the transfer case was almost bone dry and lever sticks (battled) to engage out of 4x4. Maybe something as simple as that :) Filled case up with "ama-glug-glug" oil and WALLA!

Duwayne

Hi There.
Here is the info i received from Toyota today for the parts requried to overhaul. I need to do mine in the near future and would like to save a few $ by purchasing part of the items from Gemini or Autozone, but not sure which ones.
Here is the info that Toy gave me:

Duwayne

SO true snipes :)
thanks for all the advise guys.

Duwayne

Hi guys, Wot you guys think? Just want some advise. A collegue of my wife is wanting to purchase our hilux for their son to learn how to 4x4, or they want it to put a chev v8 in it. Wonder if they know about Hoppys offer..... They are offering R42K for our 89 model with humble 3Y motor. We have had ...

Duwayne

LC80 series Booster and M/Cylinder has option on it til friday, but can get 75 series Booster and M/Cylinder for R1000. Will that fit SFA and wil that improve braking? Should i go for the 75 series calipers if i can get and will they fit? calling all brake boffins?
thanks!

Duwayne

OK midas has for R25 bucks.
ALSO INVESTIGATING - getting a 2nd hand LC 80 series master cylinder and brake booster from a vehicle being stripped, (if not expensive). heard this fits directly and improves braking.... any comments?

Duwayne

thanks man! will give that a go. Autozone / Midas do they sell the seervice kits for the M/Cylinders? or rather stealers?

Duwayne

Hi Guys, driving to CPT from Strand yesterday, i had the wonderful experience of having no resistance on the break pedal then pump it a second time then there is pressure again.... short distances is not a problem, only seems to be a problem with longer distances. Pedal goes to the ground then a 2nd...

Duwayne

GO CHECK OUT http://www.mixtelematics.com/product/in ... echnology/
CALED THE X DRIVE. NO PICS THOUGH.

Duwayne

Hi guys, I believe that Prayer is the best way to get things sorted, thought i would let you know about a product from the Control Instruments Group - Company now known as Mix Telematics called the Suredrive unit. has a remote immobiliser, alarm accessories as well. It is a pay as you go tracking de...

Duwayne

hi, saw on gumtree lots of tailgates for sale but in CPT. Call BRENT 0832702423. he quoted me R350 for mid 90's.

Duwayne

hi, yes buyers market that is for sure. seen soem really good bargains. i think i must just stay calm for a while. started fixing my rusty 89 tailgate, so that will give me something to do on my lux for a bit :)

Duwayne

Hi Benhur, Sorry for late reply. Unfortunately the owner traded in the vehicle at a dealer in Paarl. I contacted them now but it has already been sold and they would not give any further details. PITY

But sure there is something else out there to tickle me when i am financially ready. cheers

Duwayne

yes thanks, seen this post, but do i need to remove the cone washers and c clips to get to the break disc? was hoping to remove the hub as a whole and take off the disc and replace. my discs currently have cracks in them. must have a look at the manual again.

Duwayne

ok, once the disc is off, can you get to the bearing to grease it?

Duwayne

Hi guys, i need to replace my front brake discs - not the pads. Do you remove the free wheel hub complete to replace the discs? i just dont want to start it and then the free wheel hub falls apart in my hand. refitting, fit free wheel hub back with gasket sealer? someone help please? how long a job ...

Duwayne

hi, yes the dealer actually asked the owner to come collect coz its embarrassing for them.
I am not interested in it just letting you guys know for interest.
thx

Duwayne

Hi Gert, I assume you can have it built and components ordered that side. If not give me a shout coz I am an electronics component buyer. also know some class 3 operators (def not needed on this job though) who are looking for some work from home. just a thought, when you start going into MASS produ...

Duwayne

HI THYS,
Does sound like Kaspaas is in the GYM a lot hey, but reap the rewards later hey

also thought its a lot of bucks for something not running, i am passing that one by although for the right price might be good for someone. that is the same worry i have with the other 7MGE conversion.

Duwayne

Hi Guys, Left a message for Alan to call me. Also went to look at a 97 model with a 2.7 3RZ conversion in the strand at a dealer. Lovely bakkie, just not running. Apparently something wrong with the management system. OME, Winch, drawer system, roof rack etc. looks great. originally on gumtree for R...

Duwayne

Sorry Thys, Kaspaas has the big fan infront of the radiator not behind, where was my head

Duwayne

Thys, Last question: this bakkie would be for everyday use, mainly my wife using it to work 10km from home each day. owner said he used it regularily as well. would you recommend these conversion for everyday use? Besides petrol. He said +/- 6km/L, you get better than that? assume Dyno tuning will h...

Duwayne

Hi Thys, was alos thinking that. The vehicle is in Paarl so would have to ask him to go there. let me 1st speak to him. Unfortunately i would need to sell mine 1st, so would have to act quick.
thanks for the interest.D

Duwayne

Morning Guys who are watching this topic. all i can say is that i went to look at the bakkie last night and i could not sleep last night. In my eyes it is a WOW bakkie. No OME but in good nik. GP vehicle so no rust except 2 spots on bonnet and bit of paint coming off below rear right door, otherwise...

Duwayne

Thanks Benhur for the info. Also was thinking of replacing the engine. Was still available last night, already tried to contact the guy to go look today, didnt get chance yesterday. Asked him what happened - did it overheat, said no just a bad gasket he recons, not sure how bad if it is still runnin...

Duwayne

EK IS NIE SUINIG, HAHA, NO IDEAD YET, JUST KNOW IN PAARL.

Duwayne

That sounds good, at least i will be able to keep up then, haha.
With my 1.5 year old boy as the co-pilot sounds good.
been asking a lot of questions about the 7MGE, want to experience it for myself now!
D

Duwayne

Thanks Thys,
I agree. will see what i can do. Gonna be a big diff compared to my 3Y

Duwayne

hi guys, thanks for the replies. Guy said he pulled his 950kg caravan with it and not probs with overheating etc. has alluminium radiator etc. Best to tos the engine and get replacement then i think, +R2000 repair costs compared to R4000 replacement sounds better, although i would want a metal gaske...

Duwayne

hi guys, A little advise please. There is a guy who is selling his D/C 7MGE conversion for R40K. Looks stunning vehicle, snorkel ARB-is look alike bullbar, etc. conversion was done professionally in JHB in Dec 08, had head skimmed as well, but failed to put in a metal head gasket, which has resulted...

Duwayne

THANKS CASKRU, Didn't know that. How much do you sell the front and back for?

Duwayne
