Hi guys, Got a bit of strange one here (I am sure ToYbox can help explain it better) We took the left front wheel off to change those pesky little oil/grease seals in side the front axle. Ever since that, whenever I apply the brake there is a hollow klunking sound coming from that front left tyre re...

I remember somewhere earlier on the forum some one posted something about all the grease points on the SFA.. I cant for the life of me find it under the searches!

I know of the steering grease nipples and the suspension shackles... would love to know the rest, so my grease gun can go to work!

Musselcracker

Hi Guys, I am planning a fishing road trip down to Mazeppa Bay and then on to J bay and Cape Town over December!! I really need help with a camp site or backpacker type thing near Mazeppa Bay! I have never been before and just need to know whats out there and where the best place to stay is! Thanks

Musselcracker

Musselcracker

When are you Durban again.... i think we have the identical hilux by the look of you PP

Nice mags.... I trump that with blue dials hahhahaha (just kidding)

Musselcracker

Nice welcome!!!
Glad to see some more Durban OUS rocking out on the forum!

Musselcracker

What did you catch your stumpie on!

I am keen after work next week to try!

Musselcracker

ya i know the line i have heard the rumors!

Is it the one with the blue spiral in it? will be down at Umkomaas on the weekend and hope to get some fishing in after!

where was he fishing? on the north side of the river

Musselcracker

Okay so the problem has gotten worse!

From having intermittent brights to now when ever i switch on the brights the main lights turn off!

I took the cover off the steering and sprayed silicon spray all over that switch... has not seemed to help!

Any other ideas>?

Musselcracker

how is the fishing been?

Fished last night and got a couple of hound sharks in doonside!

Musselcracker

Cameron didn't know you had a v8.....

Musselcracker

Musselcracker

Here is the weekends fun! A whole troop of us from the community forum met up and went out to the TOTI waterfall! in total about 17 cars... 1 jimny (very impressed) 1 Tourag (not some impressive) One hilux SFA (big GERTIE) and about 3 other hiluxes ( i am not sure if they on this forum) 2 isuzus and...

Musselcracker

hahahaha i wish! i will put some pics up later! Whats happening with my dashboard lights?

Musselcracker

you missed out at toti waterfall!!

it was spectacular!

Musselcracker

the three in the middle row are just reponsible for the illumination of the cluster! those are the ones i was looking to change!

I am not concerned with the others as the are only on for short periods of time!

Musselcracker

Ya i think so! There are three main bulbs that make the general light!

Then there are the smaller bulbs for the indicators, bright beams, handbrake and 4x4!

maybe it different for other models thats on the 89 dc

Musselcracker

Okay so there are three of the big bulbs behind the cluster, they sit in a row in the middle of the cluster! Sorry LOLLIE was a bit late on getting the photo of the cluster

And there is one similiar smaller bulb behind the heater controls!

P.S. thanks OOOMS i will go check out that link now!

Musselcracker

Great thanks I had it off in 2 minutes! The leds i bought did not work so will have to take them back tomorrow!

does anyone have a good supplier of LED bulbs maybe a cool blue colour! I will up load the bulb pics for you guys tomorrow when I am in the office!

Thanks for all the help!

Musselcracker

Hi guys, I have search the forum but cant find any help on where the best place to or how to strip the dashboard and heater cluster to get to the little lights in the dashboard! I have bought new LED's that i want to put in there! Do i start unscrewing from the radio holder and then move up to the h...

Musselcracker

Musselcracker

Musselcracker

What oil do your use?

Musselcracker

Mark where are we getting the IFS box from?? I am in!!

i am thinking of not going for the full hi steer bu possibly the low steer under the leaf springs!

Musselcracker

Cross over steering is a good upgrade!

join the club.... i am still in the dreaming phase looking for an IFS box!

Musselcracker

Eish... you are gonna miss out!!

Looks like I will be the only hilux there... just as well i suppose someone has to pull out the landies and the jeeps!

Musselcracker

I have no idea, this will be my first time there... why not come along! I think have a look around the 4x4 community forum and i am sure there will be some trail reports and such! I was up at Gwahumbe last weekend and it was a great place, nothing too challenging and didn't really need 4x4 just made...

Musselcracker

Myself and a couple of guys from the 4x4 community are going to the Toti waterfall on the 25th of September! just thought i would post this here and see if there are any other hiluxes that are going to back me up against all the jeeps and land rovers.... "Should be a great day out!!! Right Let'...
