Meet "Oupa", my very lekker SFA

ToyX4 · Post by **ToyX4** » Sun Aug 10, 2008 11:43 pm

Finally, I have a REAL Hilux!
I sommer named him "Oupa"

Bought it from a forum member, so he might be familiar to most of you.

1996 2.4 with EFI (Mr Turbo :x But I already don't like the Mr Turbo setup. If it can't be fine tuned to my liking, Mr Benhur has another job waiting)
Replacement front bumper
33" BFG Muds, front axle moved forward.
4" Procomp lift, Cruiser shocks front
Dual battery system
Dual fuel tanks - EINA :roll:
Rear import diff, no lockers ( front or rear)
Can't remember what else, but I think that's about it.

Went playing at Chloorkop with Cassie. This is another beast. But I still have to get used to this bakkie, and the petrol engine during off roading. Almost feel as if I'm a beginner in this bakkie. Too used too the diesel,(and diff-lock

)

Thanks Rich

I've been waiting a long time.

I'm so excited I can't sleep, but I'm off to bed now. Oupa and I have a get-to-know-Oupa date tomorrow :D
And I think I'll be servicing him tomorrow as well.

Mooi skoot Riaan, jy strek daai Oupa se rumatiek sommer so speel speel uit hom uit...

Nou aangaande daai ekstra stel taaiers...

Niel · Post by **Niel** » Mon Aug 11, 2008 9:00 am

Lekker Riaan, Oupa lyk nog goed :D ....verduidelik hoe mamma se arm nou lyk

ToyX4 · Post by **ToyX4** » Mon Aug 11, 2008 9:37 am

Dankie manne.

Niel, mamma is nogals tevrede met die ou. Hy ry sagter as my IFS. Regtig, ek lieg nie. En sy se self so.

Thys, Coenie, Johann Scorpion, jammer oor die tyres manne.

Ek kon nie die tyres deur my vingers laat glip nie.
Ja ek weet die BFG's is nog splinter nuut, maar daai MTR's sal maar hier rond le op stand-by, sou iets gebeur.

Cassie, niks was vuil nie my vriend. Ek nie so erg geskrik nie. Net bietjie gebewe, en n stywe brandewyn gedrink toe ek by die huis kom . Hoe voel jy? Het jy nagmerries gekry oor hoe jy vir Bloudraad verloor?

ThysdJ · Post by **ThysdJ** » Mon Aug 11, 2008 10:19 am

Is reg so Riaan, jou luck is jou luck.. maar ek wil eerste opsie vat as hulle ooit loskom..

Dis reg. Sal jou onthou. Het hulle nounet uitgelaai, toe wonder ek oor hulle.
Maar ek wil hulle eers probeer, en vergelyk met die BFG's.

Riaan, plaas 2 fotos van Oupa, een met die BFG's en een met die MTR's...

Baie, Baie Nice!!

Welkom in die SFA familie. Mag Oupa vir jou honderde duisende km's van probleemvrye pret inhou. Ek's skoon jaloers...

Post by **Family_Dog** » Mon Aug 11, 2008 6:01 pm

Hey Riaan,

Very, very nice! Glad the bakkie stayed "in the family"!. May you both have many happy adventures together.

And the bakkie is f-a-r too young to be called "Oupa!"

How do you think I feel then?

Ja Johann, net vir nou jaloers, tot Blom klaar is met jou Hilux. Dan smile jy breed

Ok Riaan,

Call me Dof, but pray tell, which Forum Member did this Lux formery belong to..... :? :?

At first I thought it was one of FD's (hence my PM Eric)

Who's Lux and what was Oupa's Former Identity

AND - what Future mod Plans are keeping you awake at night

Dankie Johan. Ek sal eers die ou moet leer ken voor ek saam met die groot manne kan speel, en Engel se Datsun se gat kan skop.

That's the one Tristan, Rich.

I don't really plan any future mods Rich. This van is already modded like I would have done if I bought a standard van.
For now I need to fix a few rust spots on the loadbox, and maybe even a respray. Get the Mr Turbo EFi management sorted to my liking(or let Bennie fit a Dicktator system).
I will also put on a new set of spots, and new Nightbreaker globes in the headlights.
It also has no diff lock, because the rear axle was replaced with an import axle, so a diff lock is on the cards for next year. In the mean time I'll learn alot without the locker anyway.
I'm also thinking OME suspension, but not in the near future.
And then maybe oneday, if I've won a jackpot somewhere, I would like a 7MGE motor. But it won't keep me awake at night, as there is nothing wrong with the 22R. Just slow with the 33'' tyres.

In the mean time I will check everything and learn what niggles it has, and fix/replace if necessary to get him in tip top shape.
