Hilux 4x4 Forum

Keep going Gents, we are all supporting you. Some reasons to add to the motivation: You want to see your daughter or grand daughter walk down the isle You want to be able to hike up a dune when your son is a teenager and sandboard down next to him x 10. To be around to spend your retirement years ov...

Eish! Quite a horrific thing to have happen to one, yet it could happen so easily. Praise God for your protection and healing, also that you were at George hospital. (My dad was treated there and they have a very good orthopedic unit). To all those that supported, well done, its really awesome to se...

Looking forward to it :)
For permits, perhaps arrange for them to be fetched before hand to save time and hassel on the day?

OK, seen that I want you all to sleep well at night.... The 1 is for the rear screen the other is for the Side Mirrors. :)

FD, next question: Why are there 3 buttons / levers that spray water?

And for all the other Toy drivers, on which side is the indicator stalk on a Toyota Prado?

FD, seen you asked so nicely.. :thumbup: .. introducing Nala: http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v1463/239/75/639921268/n639921268_1557567_3328.jpg http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v125/239/75/639921268/n639921268_332536_141.jpg http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v125/23...

BIL's wedding, otherwise I would have been there.

Nice Work Bretton :) Do you have a clip of us driving up or are you saving the rest for the dvd?

Dankie Piesang, I really enjoyed that we were a bunch of guys out in their 4x4's and that all were fully accepting no matter what you drove. Ons sou daai UNO op Wacky se dak moes vas maak. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: A photo of the Uno at the top view point, that would have been gr8 and I think the Wack...

On the topic of lockers.... I must admit, I did enjoy being asked "So you have a Rear Diff-Lock in that Prado?" or "thats the Prado with traction control, right?". I enjoyed the :? or :think: when I replied that no I dont have either, :D . Guys without lockers: Its all about whee...

Manne!! What a super day, very glad to be a part of it :clap: . Well done to all, quite a logistical operation but it was very well pulled off. Thanks to Kobus and Rich for leading it. Here's to the next one. A few pics: Meeting http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs168.snc1/6292_1267389212...

Just if you are driving from Somerset west side, watch out for the turn off, its sign posted just before (helderberg farm) but not at the turn off. Of the three times I have been I have only made the turn off once.
There's a farm stall and the road is just to the left of it.

With a Y is how it should be spelt ;)
Forgot to ask, what time are things likely to wrap up?

LOL , thanks, see you there.
Will be myself and a mate, Brett, which leaves space for 2 or 3 pax.
Found the meeting place earlier in the thread.

Just for you FD:

View from top of Blue Route


Ok, so the smog does suck but other than that

Two Oceans update: Did the blue route yesterday + 1 of the red sections. The blue is fine, slippery in places but the Rav with us handled it fine. (actually the Rav easily made one climb where the isuzu double cab 4x4 had to use rear diff lock). Did not do the final Red climb as it was too slippery ...

Going to two Oceans tomorrow so can give you a trail update later in the weekend.

yep, thats why I was asking if anyone still had the photo's

Assuming this was the elephant trashing the rooftop tent on a nissan, does anyone still have those photo's?

Hi All Quick update on Scott & Lau. Through Moz, they weatherd out the Tropical Storm, had to Double back from Pemba as the ferry accross the Rovuma is busted. Now in Malawi, lux lost breaks near Zomba (adjuster on the right rear brake had slipped out of position). They have had it service in Bl...

Hi All No news on when a update will come in from them, their 3G modem is acting up but I can relay the following. Scott & Lau rock up at a remote beach in north natal, there are only 2 other people on the beach. They start chatting and it turns out that they are an ex SA couple now living in th...

Hi All

Just to let you know, all is going well with the Scotty, Lau and the Hilux.
They are in North Natal, next Moz.

Cheers

Hi All

Some good reasons why one should never snatch / winch without decent recovery points.

Water up to the window winders, wet everything, wet driver and worst of all (you should have heard the complaints :lol:) wet box of Klipdrift!! Then things got worse - they towed the Hilux out with an old Jeep . Luckliy I confiscated all cameras to avoid any evidence of this. :wink: Later the Hilux...

:D I was referred to this great forum by Scotty, even though I don’t own one I still enjoy reading about Lux's and what guys are doing with and to them.
