The official signboards have been put up for the new "Craig Lockhart Campsite- Residents Only" right next to the waterhole side road. We drove the Auob game viewing route daily during our trip to...

1x brand new Continental Crosscontact HT 265/60/18 for free, gratis, mahala. It was my spare tyre before, I had all five replaced with Coopers on my Ford Ranger Wildtrak. Its a new spare, it was...

We will be in Mata Mata and TR campsite between 8-19 January.. Cant wait! spending a week in the Tankwa before driving up to the Kgalagadi.
Last time I was there at this time of the year, we had a...

Just to make it clear, my main 10spd auto gearbox is/was unaffected. This was isolated to the secondary transfer case only.

I love the Wildtrak and in terms of its safety, comfort and technology for my family, no other double cab comes close to its levels of refinement. I will take the one or two issues on this new engine...

When I did my Meob trip(or various Sandwich and Walvis play days) the local Nam guys mostly said that any bakkie or SUV tyre is fine for the soft, fine dune sand and beach driving south of WB. I was...

Thanks for all the replies, I plan on driving down to Witsand and Agulhas next week on the stock tyres. I will deflate and take the vehicle on some backroads (Malgas comes to mind, Some gravel...

Thanks I will probably go for the 265 as you suggested, no need to widen the track.

What is your criteria for buying?

We like to keep a 4x4 vehicle as a redundant holiday car doing limited mileage per annum, or for the odd day outing over weekends. The last one we had, we had...

I went in to look at the Campmaster for R1399 (60L) at Makro last week and I walked away underwhelmed. It is very lightweight(literally) IMHO versus the more specialized products, such as Evakool...

Thanks for the replies, can anyone comment on tyre sizes? 285/60/18 versus 265/65/18?

Hello Forum,
I recently joined the Ford crew after selling my long serving Suzuki GV V6 that has carried the (then girlfriend, now wife) and I all across Southern Africa with applomb. As the family...

http://www.oppi-dam.co.za/ between Oudtshoorn and the Caves is excellent in terms of facilities. Close enough to the mountains to drive into the Hell and back for a day trip, or visit Prins Albert...

Best tip I ever got, was to just leave the GV in DRIVE (D) while in low range. The system sorts out the gear selection on your behalf depending on RPM and wheel speed.
Use L (low range 1st) only...

Hi there,
If you don't depress the 4x4 Mode selection dial inward while turning towards 4LL, while also simultaneously having your foot on the brake pedal while stationery and with gear lever in...

Best wishes mate✌️

Valid point, since we also generally much prefer a station wagon to a bakkie as you might know. I suppose our lifestyle has changed along the way. We still overland, or at least we plan to do so...

Yes that car would have been part of my decision making, but I had to buy now and could not wait for the new Dmax v-cross to arrive on our shores.

After seven, almost eight years and tons of miles and smiles, it was time to let her go on 214,000km. The family has grown and with the addition of a child and an english bulldog, we sadly had to...

Sounds about right! 3.2 chows front brake pads finish and klaar.

The “slush box” Auto transmission in the V6 is also harsh on the front brake pads, perhaps due to the old technology 5-speed not...

We enjoyed a nice and quiet camp this weekend at Willemsrus. We were one of only four campsites that had visitors, including our own and perhaps due to the N1 North road closure on Friday night.
...

We were also at Willemsrus this past weekend (Suzuki and offroad trailer on number 17). I must say, I have been to this spot quite a few times and this was the first time I experienced noise...

Hallo friends.
Not true about the sun roof.
Many of us GV guys in the forum has the Frontrunner roof rack fitted regardless of a sunroof, with a static load rating of 300kg on the rack. V6 GV came...

I tried and failed, no one I contacted (SAC, Dastek, Cheetah, etc) wanted to give it a bash.
Most concrete response was that the vehicle ECM map is not available and neither is an updated cat fooler...

Sorry for stating the obvious, but here goes..

Do not put water in your GV's cooling system! Always use a good quality coolant fluid. The cooling system in the GV (and most modern vehicle...

Hi Dave
Just be careful with the 3.2 front suspension parts versus the 2.4, since many brands offer different versions of front strut coils between the 2.4 and 3.2, to compensate for the heavier...

Remove front prop shaft, engage 4H Lock on the dial and drive as normal. Had to do this myself some years ago when front prop came off due to incorrect torque setting on flange bolts. PS looks like...

Same thing happened to me some years back after driving on a badly corrugated road with my Zook. It was caused by a loose connection on the main wiring harness’ earth point on the chassis between...

No under slung table slide will be possible on a MY 2008+ Suzuki JB GV’s Frontrunner roof rack unless antenna is removed [emoji3]

Why?
1. FR feet are not exactly front, rear and dead center on...

The track mounted FR rack feet are spaced too close together to accommodate a table slide from the side. Due to the curve or arch in the roof rails, they are of set length and installed on pre-set...

Syd’s suspension charged me R6400 including steering rack recon, balancing and alignment with a one year guarantee on the rack job. The steering feels quite precise and firm, just like new.

I have no knocks at present (touch wood) only some irritating rubber squeaks remaining. I have replaced my strut bearings and shock mounts. I have fairly new (2017) lower control arms and sway-bar...

You remove the following interior trim panels to do the wiring and in this order:
1. Rear Center Bottom cargo area access protector to be able to remove wheel arch panels on both sides.
2. Left...

Sorry for the confusion. I went back to check and you do need to run a single fuse wire to the front fuse box, which is located up high on the driver side firewall underneath the steering wheel.
