Re: TB42S (Carb) aftermarket EFI options
( How are you finding the TB45E compared to your TB42E? Fuel usage, performance? How was the swap with the wiring etc? ) The performance was slightly better , but my 4.5 is not tuned for all the available power in favor of reliability and running slightly cooler. I get an average of 6km/l. It still ...

Re: TB42S (Carb) aftermarket EFI options
I replaced a TB42e in my Gq with a TB45e. As far as I know the cam in the TB42e is slightly different to the carb model. As Peter will confirm , the gq engine bay and adequate cooling cannot be mentioned in the same sentence. Turbo conversions will add a lot of extra heat and you will need to plan w...

Old original starters and alternators
The original starters and alternators (Mitubishi especially) are getting difficult and expensive to get hold of or repaired properly. It used to be my trade and I have a test bench , the knowledge and a supply chain for parts to get them back to original condition. Some of the parts (like diode plat...

Re: River Trip 06-10 August 2021
Manny, The illegal mining is getting out of hand. I helped with recce and roadbuilding the first time we went into Molototsi many years back. I was in front again this year and the lack of sand exposed very large areas of bedrock that I had to build new route through. I like to stay in the river and...

Re: Ant's Custom Workshop
Just a thank you to Anthony. Yesterday he installed a double din radio into my 4.8. I am fairly particular about workmanship and come from old school auto electrical background. The attention to detail and obsession to have everything as original and perfect is insane. Obviously everything just work...

Re: Recovery debate
Reenen. As ek kyk na die twee fotos , dink ek aan wat n ou boorman altyd vir my gese het: Met fors kan jy jou elemboog in jou stert afdraai. En met meer fors kan jy hom weer uitkry. Interresant dat die "unrated" d shacke nie breek nie , maar die strap wat lyk of hy rated was wel gebreek het.
