Cleaner air. Cleaner fuel. One kit. 🛢️

Modern diesels have two quiet enemies: oily crankcase vapour going back into the intake, and water and dirt coming out of the pump. The Direction Plus combo kit deals with both in one vehicle-specific fitment. 🔧

1️⃣ Fuel Manager pre-filter catches water and fine particles before they reach the injectors
2️⃣ ProVent catch can strips oil mist from the crankcase vapour before it reaches the intake, intercooler and turbo

Combo kits are listed for the Hilux, Fortuner and Land Cruiser 70. Driving something else? Universal Fuel Manager, PreLine-Plus and ProVent kits cover the rest. 🧰

Swipe for the engine list, then shop via our website or ask at your nearest Opposite Lock fitment centre partner. 🚙 https://oppositelock.co.za/fitment-centre/

Look what just landed. ⛽📦

PAK long-range tanks, all the way from Australia, and Darrell couldn’t wait to get the box open.

Moulded from a specialised plastic, the Hilux tank takes you from 80 litres to 140 litres. That’s 60 more litres between fill-ups: more range, fewer stops, and less planning your route around the next town with diesel. 🛣️

We’re putting them through their paces now. Results coming soon. 👀

Want to know first when they’re ready? Drop a ⛽ in the comments.

Right pressure, every time you leave the tar. 🛞

Correct tyre pressure is the cheapest traction upgrade there is, and airing down is the job everyone rushes. One wheel at a time, crouched in the dust, guessing when it is close enough.

The 4×4 Equip Tyre Deflator with Gauge fixes that. Screw it onto the valve, watch the 6 cm dial while the air bleeds off, and stop at the number you want. Rapid air-down, accurate read, and all four tyres end up where you meant them to be. 🎯

It comes boxed in a hard case with spare valve cores, so it stays in the vehicle for the next trip. 🧰
