For thick sand try 0.8 bar

Hammes I gave you Louis's number in my previous post.

Or you can find Louis at 4x4 Direct in Centurion. 012-653-3208

Depends on how strong your engine is.

I have seen some Hiluxes running 33" without suffering.

Sounds awesome

Can be the way the injector pump is adjusted, maybe giving too little or too much fuel. I saw that on a friend's KZ who had a fancy heat monitor installed. It also became hot when driving fast or uphill. Then he had the injector pump adjusted and heat problem was better. What I found on some older v...

That is a great idea, I love it. Looking forward to see the end result.

0-96.5 km/h in 1.69 seconds. 0-300 km/h in 10.6 seconds Not bad https://newatlas.com/automotive/aspark-electric-hypercar-worlds-quickest/ Shortly after debuting at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Aspark Owl prototype scorched the path from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 1.89 seconds, setting itself up...

Not sure where you will get these in RSA. They are for Jeeps, but should work in your Revo as well.

On the other hand, if you say you never use it I would just remove it and look for a nice plug to cover the hole.

That is nice, will look very professional.
Good luck
When you get to the hinges, locks and rubbers, you can find them at

When I go buy parts at my local Toyota dealer, they first go seek the part number at https://www.toyodiy.com/parts/ and then they look for it on their system.

Pop rivets comes loose from vibration. I often see riveted tread plates on tow bars which are loose because the rivets came loose. Then the tread plate vibrates and rub off the paint.

But yes, as you say, if you sika it it is difficult to get off again.

If I remember I will go open the distributor tomorrow and see if these is a sticker on it. Maybe I can find you a contact number or wweb address. The guy who sold it was in CPT

I got one of those units which replaces the points for the L28 in my Jeep. Found it about a year ago on Gumtree, but cannot find the ad now anymore.
It was one of these

Looks very professional.
Question; Why don't you just Sikaflex the tred plates after painting. It is as strong as pop rivets, if not stronger, and you have zero holes to drill.

Wow, looks like an awesome trip. Some interesting vehicles which joined.

Try super springs, they won't effect your articulation.

Agree with George, I once battled with a Nissan Trokkie, each time I bled it until no air came out anymore and brakes were spongy. Drove it for a day or two, bleed again and again air came out. Only after the third bleed was the brakes solid. Seems like the air gets trapped somewhere and only makes ...

I used to get "gout" attacks each winter when all my friends go hunting and bring back Wildsbiltong. Later on I believed it was the veal and stopped eating that. After seferal years of suffering my wife read a book and read something about Chilblains. I stopped walking kaalvoet in the wint...

I imported a 38/38 Retrojet for my L28 . Haven't fitted it yet, but I did get 2x extra which I now have stock at our Vredenburg store. I did not get the wire harness, the price was a bit crazy. You will need a basic Dictator to run it. Available at: https://4x4direct.co.za/online-only/9425-retroject...

What I normally do to get an idea of what is reasonable is to get a quote for spares and machine work. Get a quote from Autozone or Midas for: 4x pistons 1x ring set (Note with some cars you get piston and ring sets complete) 1x main bearing set 1x big end bearing set 1x full gasket set - Victor Rei...

6k is very cheap.
If you do it, do it properly, otherwise you will just have to do it again soon.

If you say the guy's quote includes replacing a dodgy crank, does that mean you already stripped the motor?

Shoe, dankie dat jy dit gedeel het. Dit lyk na 'n baie lekker trip.
Baie goeie verslag.

Tumelo on the forum's KZ almost caught fire due to the roof light. I am not sure what the cause was of his problem but it did start at the roof light. Wort stripping out the roof light and start looking there.

No experience with Conti , but also get a price on Yokohoma Geolander G15 , they not much expensive. I have it on my Touareg and is impressed with it. Did many gravel miles and so far no punctures. Many people say a T-reg eats a set of tyres within 40k km, the tyres now did 20k tyres and still have ...

Saw something interresting today.

How many of you knew that a VVTi has a oil filter on the head which filters the oil for the VVTi system?

This video shows it for some Toyota 4 cylinder but apparently the V6 has the same.

Ha Ha, Eric, I have considered it. If I ever have to buy a station wagon it will be a Prado 90.
I just cannot stand rattles and having all my camping stuff rattling in the back is why I still be prefer the Hilux.

Interresting. Now I know why my mom's 2.4 camry uses oil. Thanx Andy

How is the 5vz going?

Still an absolute pleasure to drive. Best thing I ever did to my Hilux.

Havent seen you for a while Steve. Seems like you have a collection of 80 Cruizers now, how do you choose which one to use?

mmmmm, my 1999 Hilux's brakes are always screeming. Was worst with Feredos and still there with ATE.

Maybe I should try these softies and see if it solve the screeming problem.

Net so bietjie terugvoer vir jou, ek het die snorkel wat ek op die Fortuner gehad het so 5 jaar terug by jou nog in Langebaan kom koop en laat opsit en die ding het nog soos nuut gelyk toe ek die wa verkoop het. Baie impressed! :thumbup: :thumbup: Altyd lekker om sulke goed te hoor, dankie. :thumbup:

Baie geluk, hy lyk nog mooi

I test many lights and these remain my favorite:

Have them on my Hilux as well.

Depends on how loose it is. If the casing is worn much with very loose fit I doubt if loctite will hold it, the notches works better. If it is just loose with almost no play loctite will be good. If the casing is not damaged you can either just put it back as is or for safety apply some loctite if y...

I welded flat bar (angle iron will be better) on the inside of the bumper bracket underneath the chassis. This prevent the bumper bracket from moving up when you hit the tow bar on the ground.

Where the ID of the bearing slides over the alu casing of the aircon, check for play there. If the bearing is stuck it tends to eat away the alu in which case the new bearing will not fit loosely. The aircon guy around the corner from me recons that when the bearing turns on the casing you need a ne...

Got mine from Bearing distributors in Vredenburg and I think they also ordered from JHB.

Stephan I had the issue with my aircon this year. It is very easy to replace the bearing. That bolt should not be difficult to get off, an impact wrench will help but It mine of just with a little impact from the palm of my hand on the wrench. Grinding noise most probably from the clutch which is wo...

What globes to you use? Standard old school globes or LED?

Thanx Andy, Did mine yesterday and for the first time since I bought my bakkie the wipers are working better.
I removed the wiper arms in order to properly get to the shafts.

Dankie julle, dis klomp nice fotos.

Thank you to each person who participated and to our supporters.

For those who weren't there , this is what the shirts looked like:

: Hilux Club Shirt

Sometimes a bit harder to press down on a high vehicle like Hilux, so what I do is I put my back against the vehicle at rear wheel and quickly lift it on the wheel arch and leave it. Has the same effect.

Pleasure, eagerly awaiting some pics.

Neil I emailed it to your work address.

Ronel received these 9 entries for Satruday.
Drivers' fees were paid this morning.

If we can get the 1 outstanding entry, we are ready for Saturday

We are going to pay the driver entry fees now. If there is any driver who perhaps already paid directly to RFAD please let me know.

Thanx Johan, ek sien jy het al die baan gaan toets.

T-Shirts have been ordered and they promised to deliver it to Neil on Thursday.

I placed the order for shirts, everybody up to MCW who responded are included.
I also got some extras on XL and XXL so if somebody did not give his shirt size we will see if there is something which will fit them.

Ronel says she only received 3x entry forms so far. Will the rest please complete their forms and send it to either myself or Quentin. my email is pieter@4x4direct.co.za So far Ronell received Arne Lombard Martin Weideman Jacques Bothma I attached the form again for those who missed it Vehicle booki...

Thank you, I will have to place the order by 09h30 otherwise shirts will not be ready in time.
I think for those who have not responded I will sommer order some L and XL shirts and hope it fits them.

Mine was stiff due to fanbelt which was not adjusted tight enough, but does not sound like you fiddled with the fanbelt.
You did not perhaps spill oil on the pulley?
Or if you did loosen the fanbelt, check that you adjusted it properly afterwards.

Yes please, driver and co driver

Try Saplings in Strand, they supply hardware stores of Nutec products. I was looking for Nutec Victorian sheets and they gave me details of one of their clients who helped me.
