    Dual Battery Location - D40

    I was thinking that also, if the face is extended down it adds a base and extra support. Ill see how I go behind the seat and if its not a goer I'll maybe mockup a marine ply box to do just that and see the result. Alternatively I even thought of reinforcing a timber box with flat bar somehow -...

    Dual Battery Location - D40

    Legends !! Thanks for that. I knew there had to be at least 1 other option I wasn't thinking of. I'll look into this. Happy John, how have you fixed it down or do the seats and it's own weight pretty much keep it in place? Cheers

    Dual Battery Location - D40

    Hi All Looking for some dual battery location innovation as I've deliberated over this a fair bit and can't make up my mind. I don't want to spend big bucks on a mount and where I could make my own from ply would be ideal (I have no aluminium or steel welding experience) - For reference I have...

    Moreton Island - Camping Suggestions

    Cheers HJ, yes I was thinking around that area. Blue Lagoon was booked out hence I tried the north east camping zone hopefully I can get a site that is close to the Blue Lagoon main camp area.

    2007 D40 STX Won't Start

    Probably resolved but I had an EGT sensor issue that kept putting the ute in limp mode. Figured this out with mechanic by first reseting all fault codes, then going for a spirited drive to trip limp mode again and then re hooking the computer to the ute while it was in limp mode and running...

    STX-550 tyre replacement

    Im running 275/65/17 Federal AT 115T - definitely not a stock size I got them for $150 each and they lasted 53,000 with rotation probably good for another 20,000 before replacement. Not the best if you compare to BFG or MT, but a cheap alternative and definitetly better than stock. Have used...

    Mickey Thompson 265 70 r17 will it fit?

    Through research online I believe they will fit with a 2 inch lift. I am also looking at that size for my next set of tyres. I have a 2013 ST with 17s and apparently they will fit with no lift, so a 2 inch should be fine.

    D40 Recovery Points

    D40 - Rack on top of tub

    Hey All Is anybody aware of a rack system styled like the following that can be installed above the D40 tub. I have linked 2 below, that are priced $1,600 + install + delivery, but they are out of my budget. I'm looking at $700 - $900 MAX. My intention is to utilise this as a roof top tent...
