Hilux 4x4 Forum

Hallo
Ek is nie baie goed met my hande nie, maar wil graag n LRT in my 1988 SFA laat installeer. Is daar iemand spesifiek wat julle kan aanbeveel in Vrystaat of Gauteng area?

Or Peanut Butter....

I was following a couple of threads on 4Y Efi conversions, and starting to consider doing it myself on my 1988 4x4. Just a few questions: My engine has done about 380 000 km's. Is this to old or can I still do it? What is the estimated cost? What sort of fuel consumption can I expect? Is the power i...

Ek dink ook daaraan om my 1988 SFA se remme ( en ligte !!!) op te gradeer?
Is dit die moeite werd, maw is die remme aansienlik beter? Wat is die koste en waar kan ek dit laat doen of die parte "source" ?

Vir lang termyn: Cruiser. Dit klink of Toyota die 70 series ( die bakkie, wat beskou word as die "ruggraat " van Cruisers) oor die volgende 5 jaar wil uitfasseer omdat dit kwansuis nie n 5 ster veiligheids rating het nie. Ek sal enigeen uitnooi om met hul voertuig met 5 ster lugsakke ens. ...

Watter tipe sitplekke ( bucket seats , met kopstutte) sal julle voorstel om die banksitplek van ń 1988 SFA 4x4 mee te vervang?

Met watter grootte rims het die 1988 SFA 4x4 oorspronklik mee uitgekom; 15" of 16" ?

Hi all..
Any idea where I can get hold of 15" 6 hole split rims? (New or 2nd hand)

Will 16" rims fit on a 1988 4x4 SFA?

Is that a 1986 model ?

Appears Toyota is trying to sugar-coat a turd and expect you to eat it !!!! I will certainly NOT be happy if I were in your shoes.To try and compensate for an obvious factory f-up by fitting spacers etc. is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. And let me tell you, once the warranty expires Toyota will wash their h...

Is the 4Y regarded as a good engine? My 1988 SFA has done 370 000 km, serviced regularly, and still managed to blow 2 top gaskets. Just wondering...
That's why i'm considering fitting a 2.4 Diesel should it happen again. Any ideas???

I am considering replacing the 2,2 petrol engine on my 1988 SFA with a 2,4 diesel engine. Why? I dont really know. Better low down torque...? Better fuel economy...? Increased longevity...? The diesel sound..? Now: Is it worth it? What will the approximate cost be? What do you think about the "...

Steve, I checked them out... plenty new ones in stock, but only 44" one hole's that we use on the 1848 to 1852 SFA / SBA 6 oxpower wagons....

Enige idee waar ek 15" 6 gat split rims (2de hands) vir my 1988 SFA in die hande kan kry?

Lollie. Ek het die single cab. Ek dink dit was net standaard op die double cabs

Thanx Josh...
No one else out there that has any suggestions? I find it hard to believe...

Hi...I live in Bethlehem and would like to know which is the best 4x4 Offroad Course to attend nearby, say in Bloemfontein. Who is "Thysie" ? Is he the "right man for the job"? How do get hold of him?

Hi all...

Is it possible to have an aftermarket powersteering fitted to my 1988 Hilux 4x4?
If so, what unit / units ( from which cars / bakkies) can be used? Where will I be able to get hold of such a unit?
Estimated cost ?

Thanx Brian I am (half) convinced....But why do you say so,given the fact that I already own a Land Cruiser? I don't want the Hilux to loose value as time goes on. What's your feeling on a 2.4 diesel transplant? 2.2 petrol rather thirsty and somewhat lazy.. Will I have to change the gearbox / bellho...

Thanx guys Mud Dog,I hear what your saying... I'm still in two minds about it.I bought it new in 1988 just after I got married. Had a wonderful time with it. She is now retired doing mainly "soft jobs". Being very sentimental I considered treating her to a complete refurbishment... once I ...
