Hey Justin. I originally wanted the Kenwood flat sub, but it wasn't thin enough to fit and I had to settle for the Pioneer Shallow mount 10". It plays really nice and gives very tight bass - just the way I like it 8) I think I need to get a blackout kit for the B-pillars - that should look grea...

Scorpion

I'm with Eric

Scorpion

Okay, finally the promised photos. The first two show the Smash & Grab Tint http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg4/Scorpion_078/K800_P1010843.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg4/Scorpion_078/K800_P1010845.jpg This is the pod they made for the front doors, complete with 6,5" splits wi...

Thanks, Bennie! I just checked out the Snake Racing website and saw them. At what cost could you have them made up :?: I am definately interested in doing at least a 50mm lift. Is it necessary to extend brake lines, battery cables or anything else at 50mm? What about 75mm? I know you said in another...

Scorpion

Thanks for the info, Riaan!

It looks very solid, but I haven't seen any other pictures of spacers for bodylifts.

Do the experts here think this is a good solution? Is the rod thick enough to handle the weight, etc, etc

Scorpion

Ek het toe Vrydag my baba teruggekry. Dis baie netjies gedoen, maar dis dalk bietjie overboard. Ek kan 'n mobile dico oopmaak :!: :twisted: Ten minste gaan ons nie verveeld wees in die bundu's nie :lol: Die getinte vensters lyk ook goed en die alarm gee my darem nou 'n bietjie meer gemoedrus dat ek ...

Scorpion

Dankie, Riaan :!: :!:

Scorpion

Riaan... Hier is die reminder waarvoor jy gevra het.... Bodylift? Onthou

Scorpion

Dit is, maar kan nie so mooi uitmaak op die klein foto nie :roll: So wat noem jy dit

Scorpion

"Solid Front Axle". Hiluxes made up to 1999, when the new shap came out and the suspension was replaced with IFS - "Independent Front Suspension".

Read through the Forum, there are a lot of threads explaining the differences.

Exactly! The SFA's are very much sought after and you won't find one in good condition for less than about R 50 000.00 - regardless of how old it is... Well, I haven't seen any!

Scorpion

Djislaaik, mar hy's moooi!!!

Het hy regtig 'n 100mm bodylift gedoen? Kan jy uitvind waar hy die parte, ens. gekry het? Soos ek verstaan is dit nie 'n klein jobbie as jy hoer as 50mm wil lig nie.

En Simon voer alles van Auz af in.

Scorpion

Ek stem saam met Bennie - net 'n volle foto artikel sal doen :shock: 'n Bietjie werk, ek weet, maar niemand hier sal jou ooit vergewe as jy dit nie doen nie :twisted: Dan wil ek ook net weet of jy dit al redelik ernstig offroad gehad het, en of jy net die stofpad (teen 'n m*%rse spoed natuurlik!) Bl...

Scorpion

Klink goed, Louw! Maar hou jy die standaard ratkas of word dit vervang? Wat anders word verander? Hoe lank vat die ombouing en wat is "bietjie duurder"?

Scorpion

Goeie middag !! Jamer ek val so in die helfte van julle manne se gesprek in maar dis hoe ons Blou Bulle dit maar van tyd tot tyd doen !! Moenie worry nie, ons ken julle darem so :twisted: Ek kyk nog rond, maar jou conversion lyk baie interressant... Ek soek die beste kompromie tusen krag en offroad...

Scorpion

En hoe!!

Wat doen sy op die 1/4mile?

Scorpion

Tx for clearing that up! As I mentioned before, I'm a desk jockey and don't have too much technical knowledge :oops: , but hey, that's what I'm here for - to learn... Is it very difficult to fit yourself, or is this also something rather left to the experts? Of course, after fitment I would have the...

Scorpion

Does anybody know if these lights are SABS approved? There is also another set of headlights http://www.autostyle.co.za/prodview.php?prod_id=15656&pid=bakkies&cid=&pg=1&showall=&brandstr=&str=. What is a "semi sealed" unit? It doesn't sound like the type of light yo...

Scorpion

Hi, Naas

I have used Harrack Auto Air in Selby, Jhb a few times and have to say I was very happy with their work and price. They fixed my Jeep for R 1 200.00 when the stealers quoted me R 8 000.00! :evil:

Any way here is their address and number:

171 Eloff Ext
Selby
Johannesburg
Phone 011 4931400

Scorpion

That's exactly what it was called, 3RZ! " Cool blues". Sorry, I couldn't remember the name exactly

They are crap!

I'm also going to fit some of these Autostyle lights and will try the Silverstars. Let you know what I think.

Scorpion

Moet ons 4 weke daarvor wag

Scorpion

So? What colour are you sprying him?

Scorpion

So, my baby went in today for the first of many upgrades 8) I decided to folow F_D's advice and go for 50% tints on the cab, but decided not to do the canopy for now. The canopy is a bit fubar at this stage. It can't lock and I notice a crack that had been repaired under the left window, so I'll fir...

Scorpion

I wouldn't fit the "Osram" globes. I fitted a set of the "Xenon effect" globes to my RAV a few years ago. It worked fine the first few months and gave a nice blue light, but then started deteriorating very rapidly. I had to refit my original globes after about 5 months. Not worth...

Scorpion

Hi, Louw Welcome to the forum! I must warn you that there are a few Blue Bull supporters here who have ideals about taking over the world - at least it will be in Blue Bulls branded SFA's!! :wink: Now come on, post some pics - everybody here is going to hound you untill you do :shock: And tell us mo...

Scorpion

Dis 'n goeie link om the he :D Tx! En sterkte met die soek. Sien volgende naweek.

Scorpion

Hi, Simon

When are you continueing this thread? May even this desk jockie can learn something

Scorpion

Very nice article, Bretton! Keep em coming...

Scorpion

Hi, Bennie I have to complement you an an excellent article!(even if you are a Blue Bull supporter :twisted: ). I am not mechanically minded at all and even I understand most of it. If only all articles were written this well. Anyway, I'm really interested to see how this turns out, as well as the t...

Scorpion

I think you are right, and if I remember correctly he said you must check that it has glass lenses and not plastic ones. The plastic ones apparently fades quite quickly Anyone knows if these has glass or plastic? Otherwise, I'll check it out next week, when I pass then in Mayfair.

Scorpion

Herman!

Moet jy nie werk nie?

Anyway, het jy dit nie reg nie, dis 'n moer klein wereld...
Jy sal nie spyt wees nie, koop net ene soos myne, maar tot dan het jy darem nog die RunX.

Scorpion

Rian, ek belowe sodra ek hom terugkry - myne is ook 'n groene ... En dit is beslis 'n ORDENTLIKE mouterkar.. Kaspaas, ek het ook daai probleem - bou nou juis 'n huis met 'n moerse garage. Mamie het ook laasjaar gese ek mag nie die Lux koop voor ek van twee van die ander ontslae geraak het nie... Toe...

Scorpion

Ek hou van jou taxi-jagter, Dr V!

Wetie vannie Kaap nie, maar hier kort jy nog 'n Hi-Lift suspension en 'n paar 35" wiele, dan kan jy 'n sticker agterop plak wat se:"Have you driven over a taxi lately?"

Scorpion

Klink goed - sal defnitief begin ondersoek. :) Does anyone have a different opinion? Net een vraag Ewald, hoekom het jy in jou eerste post gese 'n 4.0 liter?

Scorpion

Dit klink goed Ewald! Sluit die prys 'n 7M-GE motor en alle ander nodige parte in, of wat moet ek nog verskaf? P.S. Kaspaas, my Merc is een van die eerste Afrikaanse modelle in SA - dit se skoon "Automaties" op die kattebak. Die boeke is ook alles in Afrikaans en sy het 131 000 oorspronkli...

Scorpion

Hey, Tommy

How's it going with that 3RZ conversion? I'm really interested, as I'm planning on a conversion soon.

Scorpion

Ek wil ook ene he...

Mammie!?

Scorpion

Dr V,

Hoe op hierdie mooi blou aarde kry jy 'n indicated 140km/h op jou 4Y, nevermaaind 160???

Ek sal dit dit nie kry nie, al ry ek van die Victoria Falle af

Scorpion

Dit lyk mos nou mooi! Net waar hy hoort - in die bos! Hoe hoog is hy gelig?

Scorpion

Kaspaas, it is currently at the panelbeaters - my cousin decided to rearend somebody on my wedding day! It is luckily only the bumper that's bent and I'll post a pic as soon as I have her back - promise :wink: SupraLuxBul, I've been reading the threads on your engine mod and it seems you've had the ...

Scorpion

Hi, F_D Thanks for the clean up on the picture, but she is was in the mud on the weekend and I haven't had time to clean her properly. So I don't think any amount of cleanup will help :oops: Thanks for the advice. Does everybody agree with the 50% on the side windows :?: I will definetely go for 35%...

Scorpion

Hi, everybody! Thanks for the warm welcome (especially SupraLuxBul... :twisted: ) Luckily I live close enough to Blue Bull territory to know their bark is worse than their bite :twisted: ToyX4, she's a manual - the auto is about 30% heavier on fuel, and she gives me about 8km/l in town ( with a very...

Scorpion

Hi F_D, Thanks! She's the newest addition to my growing "collection". I've only had her for three months and the makeover also started today. I sent the doorcards in for a revamp and she will be going for an alarm system, smash and grab window tints and a bit of doef-doef on Monday. I'll l...

Scorpion

Hi, everybody! I think this forum rocks, because I am also a Toyota nut. I own 3 at the moment: a Black 2007 Toyota Fortuner 4.0 V6; a Yellow 1988 Hilux D/C 4Y 4x4 and a 1978 Lancruiser 4 liter Diesel I strayed once, but NEVER, EVER again! I sold my 1996 RAV4 5 door to buy a Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.1 ...
