Decided that the bakkjie needed some work done

First went off to Mikem for a complete new suspension,and after a slight hiccup expertly sorted by Darrel
suspension works very well and comfort level are better

Posted: **Tue Oct 15, 2013 7:41 pm**

Then decided the bak needed treatment

Hi Maartin,

Jou suspensie lyk baie mooi.Ek het ook Mikems op my bakkie en is baie gelukkig daarmee.

Het Darrel gekyk of jou voorste as se saddles gelyk is?OP die tweede foto as ek na die vere kyk lyk dit asof die saddle nie gelyk is nie.Ek mag verkeerd wees.

Dit was die klein hiccup bracket verkeerd om en saddle nie reguit nie Darrel het saddle reggemaak en twee nuwe springs voor ingesit na net 500km ,alhoewel ek nie dink die springs het seergekry nie ,hulle het voor skokbrekers ook uitgehaal en getoets

I did this July last year full Mikem suspension, shackles, bushes, springs(comfort pack) ,and Gabriel Safari shocks Approx R12000.00

I i had chosen repairable Bilstein i would have been extra 4500.00 i think .Did not see the need as bakkie is used for trips only

Hentie, jy sal nie beter diens kry as by Darrel(Mikem) nie, ek dink Darrel leef net om sy kliente te sien smile.... sy pryse is ook die beste!!

Martin

Posted: **Fri Feb 28, 2014 5:53 pm**

Moet nou net probeer uitvind hoekom dit gebeur

Martin

Posted: **Fri Feb 28, 2014 6:18 pm**

Martin, the damage to the fuse appears to have been caused by a loose-fitting fuse or loose wire or contact. I think you would be wise to replace the fuse holder as well, otherwise it's going to happen again.

If you pass this was again, we have those holders in stock, otherwise you should be able to get at any auto-electrical shop as well, perhaps even Midas. Just ensure that the fuse is a tight fit and that no water can enter it.

Ek was verlede Vrydag oggend by Silverton Gearmax in om my diffloc se liggies te check

Ek moet dankie se aan Willem by Gearmax Silvertonsal sy diens kan aanbeveel , hulle het my ook niks gevra nie

Middag aan Hilux manne
Dit is een van die mooiste bumpers wat ek nog vir n sfa gesien het.Hoe gaan jy jou winch monteer en waar gaan jou fairlead pas? Baie mooi werk jy kan regtig trots wees

Sorry Martin, but with that red glow in the "X" I thought you had made a very nice braai tray...

So Martin popped by at the office this morning, and I had the pleasure of seeing the bumper "in the flesh". It even looks better than the photos show. very, very nice indeed!

I was so keen to see it that I forgot to offer him coffee.... Sorry bud.
