TJM.......

Thanks for your enquiry.

I would recommend a set of TJM XGS shocks if you are not carrying heavy loads.
The price fitted would be about R8500 for the shocks only.

Arri

Thanks I will if I make up mind as to what I am going to fit, At this side I am considering Ironman kit that seems to be a good balance between quality and value for money. I have not recieved a quote from the tjm suppliers as yet but I believe they will be more or less the same.

Thanks Ooms I have experience with ome's on a landy, they do the job well especialy when driving on those corrugated dirt roads. I've been browzing through arb's catalogue and they have some amazing ome upgrades for hilux. But in my case I am looking for an onroad upgrade tha will increase ride comf...

Arri

Thanks for the info, I like ome, But the thing that I'm pondering about is that it may be overkill to fit such great offroad suspension on a 2x4 that stays onroad most of the time...I like Miken too, Ironman ans tjm seems to be the same as ome just different brands.....

Dankie Clint, ek het op hulle site gegaan: petrolpower.co.za en ook bietjie navraag gedoen...dis soortgelyk aan 'n piggy back unichip, maar die powerbox re-map nie jou ecu nie, dit voer hom net informasie wat jou air/fuel injection verstel om meer krag te lewer.

I have seen many threads on suspension upgrade old man emu, tjm etc. I would like to hear your opinion on 2X4 suspension upgrades for better onroad handling and ride.

Sounds interesting Let us know once you have the average consumption e.g. km/l of LP-gas and how many/what capacity tanks you've fitted?

Hi there

Anyone knows how to adjust the level of the round style foglamps in the current model hilux, they use HB4 51W bulbs, I can only see the the mounting bolts one on top and one at the bottom of
the bumper, but I am not sure if you can adjust their level?

Does size matter when it comes to a diesel filter? And will be make a real difference when you get those guys adding anny liquid to make their diesel cheaper.

I agree, but it's still a sad reality and the diesel filter just cannot keep up with the local diesel under normal situation, and too add to this the new diesels are getting more and more complicated with higher preasures on the injectors and smaller tollerances.
