Re: Recovery points on 2000 Hilux DC?
Rich, thanks, but I am not too keen to just bore holes into my beautiful almost new ARB bullbar. I will probably do what warrenaken did and that is to let the guys at LA Sport Centurion strengthen the bullbar attachements and the rear bumper attachments and then fit Cruiser loops all around. Need to...

Oh, btw, I phoned Schalk from Dyno Logic Repairs in Doornpoort yesterday and he recommended that I do a full Dyno tune before I change anything on my V6 setup or move to EFI. He sounds like a great guy and made a lot of sense.

I'll see if I get around to taking a few pics this weekend - I work far away from home at the moment. I'm not sure what to measure - you'll need to guide me here, coz I'm not the most proficient mechanic n'oll, and the conversion was done when I bought Brolloks. :roll:

Re: Hilux VS Mazda
Very difficult to judge without seeing both vehicles and driving them. The new Mazda BT50 was recently judged the best bakkie in South Africa when you are considering buying a new bakkie (I think it was in the SA Bakkie mag). However, if you are going second-hand, I believe very little can beat a Hi...
