Hilux 4x4 Forum

Hi Predator

Have a look at this website, they advertise fender flares for R1399.00. I have no details just saw it on the site. Thought it might be of interest to you.

The canopy will be the same as a fibreglass canopy except the fibreglass will be replaced by steel, so yes the canopy will be more vulnerable than one with alu, but no more than a normal fibreglass canopy.

i was thinking of 3mm. I was also thinking of using a smoked/tinted version.
When the window on my previous hilux canopy broke, they replaced it with perspex and not glass, could not tell the difference.

I haven't priced them yet, as it is only an idea at then moment.

Morning I am in the planning phase of building a half high canopy so that my RTT is in line with the roof of the hilux. Just to much wind resistance to leave it on my current canopy. Now I was playing with the idea to use perspex or something similar instead of the alu plate. so basically the canopy...

Thanks Allan, thought it couldn,t be that simple.

Hi I just replaced my 2.2 hilux with a 2.4 hilux. Now the 2.2 went like a rocket compared to the 2.4. The 2.2 has 20kW less power and a fuel consumption of 8km/l compared to 5km/l. Both have brospeed branches, powerflow freeflow and 31" STT's and raised suspension. Now how can a motor with more...

Is there any other place to get the permits from except Atlantis or CT?

Ons gaan gereeld plaas toe en ry dan matjiesfontuin - sutherland - fraserburg - carnarvon. Dit is teer tot op sutherland en dan grondpad verder, het nog nie regtig probleme met die grond pad gehad nie, was miskien elke keer gelukkig dat dit pad geskraap was net voordat ons dit gery het. Ek dink die ...

I checked the plugs, still ok.

Replaced the plug leads, distributor cap and rotor, problem seem to be gone!

I used the hilux last week and it was fine, it was just this morning that the problems started, only checked the oil last night!

The hilux is going for a service next week, so no I havn't worked on it for a while.

I'll checked the leads tonight, maybe I should just replace them!

I have not checked them this morning, just parked it and took the wife's car.

morning, I have a stutter/flatspot where the hilux battle to get revs up to 3000rpm, as soon as the revs go above 3000 it climbs smoothly. like nothing is wrong. I have had this problem for a while but it was not really bad, it normally get a lot better once the hilux it warmed up. this morning when...

ek is self n biker, en ek dink die belangrikste punt by motorfiets veiligheid is spoed! bv, die manne wat elke oggend "lane splitting" doen tussen karre wat stil staan, party ry 40km/h en ander doen dit teen 140km/h Ek kyk uit vir bikers omdat ek self ry, maar party keer kom die persoon so...

Does Outsurance think I am going to click on their Add banner for a qoute if they use a landrover on a toyota forum?

They made it to the pole!

I enquired about the EFI form 4xTech at the beginning of the year and it was around R6500, drive in drive out!

why would a lifted vehicle use more fuel than a non lifted vehicle, the air footprint is still the same except for the little bit more tyres that will be visible? A lifted vehicle will sit higher but there will be a bigger gap between the vehicle and the ground. It is not like you added extra body p...

I have found on fuel consumption it doesn't matter how I rig my hilux.
I tried the following:
1: Only canopy fitted
2: Canopy and roofrack fitted
3: Only roofrack fitted
4: No Canopy and roofrack fitted

Made no major difference to fuel consumption, stil a good 7km/l

Hi-Fi corporation and Cash Crusaders sell these thin boxes to go behind the seats, mostly for taxis for about R200, but the speakers are crap. Just put a decent speaker in the box. They will fit nicely behind the seat!

Hi Simon

It has the 2.2 4y motor in.

Only problem I have with the S/C is that mine does not have power steering!! I have looked a few times as Power Steering boxes but they are so warn out that they are no good, and they charge you a arm and a leg to recon a steering box!

Those spots helped a lot with night 4x4ing, was not planned, the owner asked me to help with the transport of a water tank to the top of the mountain, there is a hut ontop, on the way down it was dark. The round trip took longer than what we expected. Driving at night on a mountain trail is a whole ...
