I might have to look into getting duel rate springs. But I'm not going to tow. And I'm only 150kg from gvm and the lift on the rear looked like it's huge. Not sure if 150kg is going to make much difference in the lift. Isn't it suppose to come down at least at 2650kg? Maybe the Ironman products...

I should clarify that my ironman leaf springs are 300-500kg rating. My D40 already sits at 2650kg with both driver and passengers, half a tank full of fuel and no load. I only have 150kg left to GVM. Not much left for gear and supplies. and the backend is still sitting very high. ie. big gap...

Is there any risk from delete of overheating engine, engine knock or when the ecu can't cool the engine down with EGR? Have you done a delete? Was it worth it?

I have a spain 2007 stx. I have swapped out orig for indicator mirrors, but would love to get a set of powered mirrors for it. Is this possible? I'd have to swap out the mirror controller panel on the dash, but I think the loom may be different.

I'd love to know this as well. I run 265/70/16. hard to get 255s now. but they fit the same rim.

Well, got the ironman pro kit and HD front and 300Kg rear 35mm lift and I have to say, its been harsh. Harsher than the factory setup. Mind you, there isnt much weight in the rear yet, but still, ride quality is strikingly harsh. Haven't had it over corrugations yet, but even on the black...

Hi Tony. mine is a 2007 STX with EGR delete from yd25comau. I read from somewhere recently that the delete can cause the DPF to not do occasional burnoff. therefore causing issues etc and limp mode. Is this true? Read that this can be solved with aftermarket sensor. Mine had it done at 130K...

Hi Ericcs. Any update on your steering wheel and the audio control? I'm thinking about doing a swap also on my Spanish 2007 STX with only cruise control on my steering wheel. I've seen 2007 euro D40s with audio controls so there is a possibility my model may work with a straigh swap of the...

Thanks tony. I won't try to get these welded as I'm a bit uncertain what and who is an expert. Don't want to weaken the chassis. I've investigated shims and the best I could get were just mild steel square washers which would be better suited then round washer. The high tensile U bolt might...

Got some MCC rock sliders or as they like to call it, side steps for my 2007 spanish STX. These come with three attachment plates per side where you attach them to the chassis via U bolts and fasten them on the side of the chassis, facing the outside. See the pic below. They look similar to...

Neither did I until I saw the Tyler Thompson youtube vid of his D23. His rooftop tent and rhino rack basically ripped off on a 4x4 track. Now, I'm pretty conscious about what I put up there.

I've heard good things from bendix. Which one are you going with? 4WD/SUV or heavy duty? I've never really felt satisfied with some of the brake pads I've put in since the original factory ones. They've never performed as well, but the factory ones were great, but only lasted 30K which isn't...

Thanks for the reply OldManBeard. So your bracket would be sitting ontop of soft fill which sits on top of the strongest point of the roof, unless you do what you did. Your work around is probably the strongest solution, but I guess with all the youtube vids on racks coming off the roof I'll...

Tony. What brake pads are you using? You've got to use some pretty good ones since you're towing an awful lot of weight.

I got a front runner roof rack that I had mounted by the pros 2 years ago and I only just realized that they mounted it not on the channel of my D40 but a bit further in towards the middle of the roof. About 20mm away from the channel that runs along the outside each of the roof of my D40. I...
