Hilux 4x4 Forum

Hi,

Received my Hilux4x4 renewal letter the other day. Always look forward to my new pen
as I use it for my vehicle petrol log.
This is how it arrived: Can't even leave a simple pen alone ! !

Morning Everyone, I started having issues with my bluetooth connected cell phone on my radio unit. It suddenly started giving a very bad connection. Bit difficult to explain, but it's like always having a bad cell connection. I tried disconnecting/reconnecting the phone, but has made no difference. ...

Thanx Greg.
I so badly want to tackle this job, but it's still scaring the hell out of me.
Will get to it shortly though . . .

Cheers

Gary

Hi Everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. My new snorkel arrived last week for my 2012 Hilux V6, but I'm a bit weary about the fitment now, as the template makes extensive use of the location of the indicators on the front fender, but the indicators have been moved to the mirrors now :? Any sugges...

So they managed to pry the wheel locking tool out. Excellent idea, but useless without the key . . .

It seems something in that spare wheel unlock tunnel has changed. The attached shows what it should look like, but the connection I see in mine (with a torch), doesn't look anything like this. Anyways, bakkie was 2 days at Toyota while they tried to figure this out. Can collect this morning. I'll up...

Thanx or the responses . . . I'll take a look at these.

Hi Drikus,

That sounds like a pretty big job . . .

I'm going to Toyota this arvie to see if they can assist with this.
I hope I don't need to take such drastic action.

Cheers

Hi, I'm having a bit of an issue in getting my spare wheel off my Hilux (2012), which was purchased with a long range tank. The spare wheel is now lower than normal, so I'd like to take it off when offroading, but this has become a bit of a challenge. I connected the 3 rods, tightened the screws and...

Thanx everyone . . . still to get it a bit muddied up though . . .

Yip, I traded the 2005 eventually after the garage made me an offer
I couldn't understand . . .

Such an awesome vehicle to drive ! !

Hi Thunder02,

I thought about that, but the one side is angled with a ding in it,
so I'm not sure how I'd get that sorted.
Placed it in a 12 ton press and we couldn't get the thing straight . . .

Hi Everyone, I need some help here. I gave my old nudge bar a bit of a ding :o: when offroading and this is what one of the attachment plates looks like (Nudge plate I). It should look like (Nudge plate II). Any ideas where I can have one made, I'd like to sell the nudge bar (with spots), but I need...

Upgraded my 2005 Hilux Raider for a 2012 model . . . awesome !

Ah well . . . too late she cried . . .
Had to stop at Toyota yesterday afternoon, the noise was so bad.
The Service Manager said I couldn't drive any further as the 'thing'
was about to seize.
So now we'll hear what kind of bank loan I'll need to cover this ! ! :?

Hi Mr_B,

Was the replacement done by yourself or Toyota ?

Hi,

My Hilux has suddenly started making a helluva racket from the engine when starting.
It souns like a bearing whine, but very noisy.

My Mate has a 2006 Hilux V6 and he's started this quite sometime ago.
Anybody else experiencing this or had it looked at ?

Thanx

Cheers

Thanx for all the replies, look's like I may need a week in that area . . . :thumbup: The one at Crystal Springs is a very rocky route, and not much of a 4x4 trail, but the bridge at the bottom, to get to the trail was washed away about 2 years ago. It's for this reason we were thinking of doing a d...

Hi, I'm going to be in the Pilgrim's Rest area mid February and I'm looking for a trail/s to do while we're there. The closest I can find is White Waters in Hazyview: http://www.safarinow.com/destinations/hazyview/FourByFourTrails/White-Waters-4x4-Trails.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.hre...

Thanx for all the responses. I eventually just took the unit apart . . . :problem:
CD has been rescued.

Cheers

Hi, I'm trying to help a Mate, with the removal of a CD that is stuck in his bakkies radio.
Has anyone done this before ?

I have removed the entire unit and there is usually a release mechanism, but I can't locate
it.
Please HELP . . . :?

Thanx

I eventually received my system yesterday afternoon, after a bit of misunderstanding on the issue of taxes to be paid to DHL :evil: Now I need tofind someone to fitthis thing, including the revese camera . . . . . Any suggestions out there. Normally I'd do this myself, but there seems to be a helluv...

Hi, Has anybody made use of the following site: http://www.stopshop.co.za/2540-buy-toyota-hilux-dvd-gps-touchscreen-ssas-toyota180-.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or better still, installed one of these units ? They look very cool, but would like to know if they a wort...

Hi Everyone, I somehow, broke the little plastic frame that holds the transfer case gear lever dust cover in place. Toyota want to charge R 700.00 :o: for a replacement part and you cant buy the plastic frame seperately. Anybody got a workaround for this. Seems like it's a reasonably common problem....

Hi Pieter,
Received my 'goodies' thanx :D

Gary

Hi Pieter,

When will you be ordering Hilux goodies again ?
Looking for a cap and license disk.

Thanx
