1995 Accesories - help needed

[offroadbiker]

Goeie middag ek het asb so bietjie hulp nodig.

Ek wil graag uitvind wat dit my so min of meer gaan kos om 'n standaard Patrol (4.2 SGL) op te gradeer met die volgende:

Bulbar - R
Snorkel - R
Rock sliders - R
Dual battery syatem - R
Roof rack - R
Extra Feul tank - R
Stel Spotlights - R
Seat covers - R
Body lift - R

So min of meer se prys sodat ek kan besluit wat ek op voertuig kan spandeer.

Dankie by voorbaat vir enige hulp.

Ek het vir jou n alley bulbar vir R3500.00 nuut gaan jou so R14500.oo kos
feul tank vir tussen R5500.00(60L) en R8500.00 (120L) en ek het altwee beskikbaar

Dirk, as usual this depends on whether you want brand names or just solutions, and prices vary widely.

For the bullbar, Duckit's offer sounds very good and is worth considering, but give some thought to what you want to achieve? Various bars give various advantages and otherwise.
Snorkel: About R5.5k for a Safari
Dual Battery: Anything from R2k for something that doesn't work, to R6k for a fancy, depending on what battery, where you put it, how intelligent the charging system is and what/how many supply points you fit.
Rock Sliders: Up to R5k, but there are many cheaper ones. Make sure that what you get is strong enough, most of the cheapies aren't.
Roof Rack: I would look at a second-hand Aluminium job for preferance, prices vary widely but you should be able to get sorted for under R3k, new double that.
Fuel tank: Look seriously at Duckit's
Spotlights: from a couple of hundred bucks for Hellas to several thousand for name-brand HID's
Seat covers: Again, depends on brand, and whether they are one-size-fits-all or fitted Mellville & Moons
Body lift: Firstly, why a body lift and not a suspension lift? A body lift only gives a higher centre of gravity or room for larger tires and possibly greater articulation, but you will not get greater articulation unless that is combined with a suspension upgrade, whereas a suspension lift gives better clearance angles, more articulation, possibly better carrying capability and better ride.
If a suspension lift is what you want, remember these are safety-critical, so do some research and be carefull of backyard jobs?

Tx so far.

Sorry the vehicle does have suspension doen, that is the only thing that was done to it.

My previuos bullbar was Nudge M - so I do not care that much about brand names to be honest.

Do you have pics of Bullbar?

Tx so far

[Jorrie]

You can follow Peter Connan's advice.

Was changing my insurance to tuffstuff today, so had to add the values to the extras on the Iron Maiden....

Bulbar - Average R14-15k -
Snorkel - not sure
Rock sliders - As Peter said
Dual battery syatem - I have a C-Tec 12v - 12v connected to a 105Ah deep cycle ( R3500 + R1400)
Roof rack - As Peter said
Extra Feul tank - Northern Offroad make a good quality S/Steel one - R5k
Stel Spotlights - As Peter said or IPF's or KC's @ R 4k ( I must say that the IPF's and the KC's I now have are fantastic)
Seat covers - Not sure
Body lift - Not really needed if you have at least a 2" suspension lift. 3" is MAXIMUM lift before suspension mods must be done for castor correction etc.

lyk vir oompie jy het toe die een met die minner kilo's gekies ?? - of besluit jy nog ?

[offroadbiker]

Dankie vir terugvoer.

Nee ek besluit nog

Probeer nou uitwerk wat die twee my gaan kos indien ek hulle op dieselfde "specs" kry en die een met die minder kilo's gaan my dan so om en by R100,000 kos terwyl die een met 223000km my R80,000 gaan kos.

So is daai 80000km verskil R20,000 werd of nie???

[Peter Connan]

Dirk, op sulke ou karre (en veral Patrols) is die afstand afgele baie minder belangrik as hoe hulle onderhou is.

Die karre loop maklik meer as 600 000km as hulle goed onderhou word.

[Izak]

Stem saam met Peter, die kilos is nie so belangrik nie maar hoe die kar onderhou is, veral met 'n diesel.

My waarde, ek het my Patrol gekoop soos wat sy uit die handelaar gekom het met 118000 km op die klok, en vandaar het ek geshop en gesoek vir goedkoop 2de handse parte. Ek geniet dit om die Patrol te maak soos ek haar wil he, en dalk vat dit langer om die eind produk te bereik maar as jy dit sien as 'n PIP (Project in Progress) gaan jy die kar beter leer ken, en meer "joy" kry uit die soek en self opsit.
