Hilux 4x4 Forum

The blue Hilux is my brother-in-law's bakkie. It was my second build up bakkie. He bought it in Lesotho for R 11 000. It was a total wreck. It is a 1986 4Y. It will post some photo's of us test driving it. He also fitted OME suspension, with "Pitbull" tyres. :lol: Andries http://i220.photo...

My Toy's!



Ek het dit REGGEKRY, UITEINDELIK!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi F D

Ek het sommer die gewone plasties wat vroulief by materiaalwinkel gekoop het om op haar tafel te gooi, om haar tafeldoek te beskerm, gebruik. Is nie seker wat hulle dit noem nie. Dit is deurskynend en is soos silikoon, buigbaar en rekbaar.

Hi Benhur!

I shall ask between R 15 000 & R 20 000. Depending on steel prices.

Hi Simon! If you make a plan to come and visit us for a weekend you can help me to finish off everything. I do not have 16 dogs any more, the are only 13 now!!~!!! :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: I am planning to take the seats to Aliwal and get them redone(will you lent me same money, please?). What co...

Hi Simon! I am a farmer, not a desk person. My wife is the typist in the family and even she can not help me to upload photo's. I will see you soon, planning to come to Qtn, because I am busy building offraod bumpers for both my Hilux's. I will come for some computer lessons, to learn how to upload ...

Reason for conversion: Jean was sent by his wife to go and buy bread, but a snow covered Joubertspass, near Lady Grey, was to tempting to drive. He got stuck and phoned me for help. After he saw what a Hilux can do, he wanted a 4x4 very badly. The end result: the "Toyzu". He is very happy ...

Hi Simon!

He still uses it, came to visit us yesterday with his hilux.

He complains about the fuel consumption(to heavy, used to the Isuzu), and it drives to hard. :roll: :roll:
Sell it? NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Bennie! Die "soutie" het ons van die webwerf vertel. Wees maar geduldig met die nasie ook maar met hulle gesukkel in die oorlog. :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: Simon not to bad, my wife says she will give you some spelling lessons if you are interested! :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :shock: ...

Hi Bennie! Is it possible for you to give measurement on the ARB front bumper on a SFA, I would like to make my own bumper but I am not sure of the measurements. I would appreciate it if you can place an attachment with the measurements on the it, that it will make live easier and faster. Thanx! And...

Hi Simon!

My wife might be blond but she can do everything, so beware!

Andries

Hi Chris!

Die foto's is seker geneem in die goeie ou dae toe ons nog op die strande mag gery het.

Andries

Hi Simon! Thanks for the pics. We will try to not flood your poor inbox next time, but it happens when you want pics.(Delete works you know!) :wink: I was testing the OME suspension after installion earlier that week. I have my own "testgrounds" on the farm. :shock: I am very impressed and...

Hello Piet! I am back with a bit of luck, but struggle to get in and stay in, they are upgrading our cellphone towers. Firts you have to use sand paper to remove all the old paint. Then you must spray a primer, i use MS primer, then you spray it with 2K Black paint.( Lekker @#$%%%# werk, geniet dit)...

Die rede hoekom ek nie van fuel injection hou nie is: ek bly op 'n grondpad ver van die teerpad af. aAs dit kom reen is ons afgesny van buitewereld omdat al die driwwe oorstroom is, kom jy met 'n geluk deur is alles nat en vol @#$%*! En as dit droog is wil hy nie start nie en stof is ons ander probl...

I wonder if anybody can help me? I can find a Lexus V8 for under R5 000.
I am not a fan of fuel injection and would like to change the fuel injection to a carburator, and what about the distributor? Can anybody tell me how to change the above mentioned.

Andries :roll:

Dearest Uncle "'n Boer maak 'n plan" they say, we saw that the Isuzu would not be able to finish the obstacle without a little bit of help. Farmers are known as people who will help fellow men in need and can make a plan fast. :mrgreen: Neil, the army is not the same without us, that is wh...

Hi "uncle" Simon! We must call you uncle, because it seems to me eveybody on this website is 33 and you are almost 42. I will charge a rate depending on the state of the vechicle? It is difficult to say how long I will work on a vechicle, because I must Farm to earn a living and look at th...

Hello Niel!

It took me about 5 months to build up the Toy.

What year model are yours? What must be done? What engine does it have and how urgently do you want it?

Andries

Hi Family Dog! Is nie 100% seker wat jou ratio is nie, sal vir jou uitvind maar ek dink dis 4.875. Jou Toyota Hilux 2000 Petrol, 1979-1982 modelle, 4x2's se centre portion van diff pas net so op die 4x4's 4Y. Alles pas , selfde ratio, net jou side shafts is korter en is 'n 5gat rim pleks van 6. Andr...

Hi Family Dog!

Die 4Y en 2.4Diesel's het 'n 4.875 diff ratio.
Die 2.4Petrol en 2.8Diesel het 'n 4.55 diff ratio

Andries

Firstly: Thank you Family Dog for the telephone number of Piet. A new Weber kit costs R3900 at Pretoria Auto Spares, everything incl. Secondly: did you know the Hilux's with a tailgait like mine(lights next to tailgait) , was imported through Botswana in the early 80's and we call them "Botswan...

Hello Cookie Monster! To what exstreme measures will mankind go to protect his TOY? I like your chain around the diff and wheels. :evil: I think the best way to protect you Toy is to sit in it with your shotgun as company and let your wife do all the shopping. :roll: What are you planning on doing w...

Hello Family Dog! The conversion of the weber carb looks quite nice. Please tell me the two pipes under the carb on the photo wich look like quickcuppelings is it for the hot box :?: Please let me know when you have tested it on the open road what km/l it give you. My hilux D/C with the chinese engi...

Hi Family Dog!

Is dit 'n 36 Weber carb. "n Nuwe of tweede hands.
Waar het jy hom gekry?
Pas hy net so op die intake manufilt ?
Hoe het jy die excellarator kabel gepas.
Kan jy asb. 'n foto opsit van die carb conversion.
Dankie.

Andries

My friend calls his isuzu a "Toyzu" after the conversion and is very happy with it. The firts major problem we had was to find a Hilux diff with the same ratio as the Isuzu back diff. Second problem was the angle between the diff and gearbox: the Isuzu gearbox is a lot shorter than a hilux...

Hello F/D!

Dit is 'n chinese 4Y engine. Het omtrent 15 000km gedoen sonder enige probleme.
Hoeveel km het joune al dedoen, is jy nog tevrede?
Andries :D

My dad has a 1997 Toyota Hilux 2y with only 16 000km on the clock! Will ask Simon to put a photo of it here.

Verskoon asb. die Afrikaans, my Engels is nie te wat wonders nie. Die rooi trok het ek vir R50 000 gekoop. Soos julle kon sien was sy oorspronklik geel. My buurman was baie beslis nie beindruk met die kleur nie en het kwaai "geonderhandel" oor 'n ander kleur en my vrou het die finale beslu...

hi! We went to the Wild Coast 9 years ago without a 4x4. It is beuatiful down there, will go back but with a 4x4 this time. We went to Rhodes and Tiffendale 3 times. We took the sement road up to Tiffendale and the Wartrail back to Barkley. We still want to go to Naudesnek down to Maclear. Heavy 4x4...

Hello Family Dog I know someone with a d/c hilux with a chinese 4y in and he has done over 200 000km without any problems. I have a chinese 4y in my d/c and did 15 000km without any problems. I took it to Steve's Auto Clinic for a dyno and a branch. It kicks out about 130NM and runs like a dream. Pu...

Saterdae is "wasdag" op die plaas. Binne en buite kry 'n beurt, kinders word geskel as hulle vuil maak en moet eers voete afvee voor daar ingeklim mag word om te ry. Vroulief moet sorg vir die verversings, let wel daar word nie in voertuig geeet of gedrink nie, Pa is BAIE kwaai. Ma se skot...
