As with any 4x4 a well chosen path will get you and your d40 through safely. The D40 is not a high clearance vehicle and is vulnerable to damage at the front with a low hung intercooler. It has a long wheelbase so your belly may scrape over erosion mounds. If you don't have any underbody...
Mine have been into Central Australia in the heat, Victorian mountains in the snow and heaps of Hugh country trips. 12000kms and they still look new. They were cheap too at around 250 each from highway tyres in dandenong. I then gad yo pay bob jane to refit and balance though.
The spacer is a ToughDog option where the low weight leaves are fitted . It actually looks like a straight piece of spring added to the bottom of the pack. Maybe because of canopy , dual battery and bash plates it helps avoid going to a spring that's too stiff to gain the desired lift . I...
The dirty shot is toughdog 2 inch, the other photo is when they replaced front and rear. Front with 550 springs and the rear they replaced leaves and added a 12mm spacer.
Hope the photos work.
That's what mine said too. By the way, my ToughDog springs have settled!? By around 20-25mm. It's pretty much back at standard. I've gone back to installer and they're chasing it up for me.
I thought the ctek would only draw once the voltage from main battery exceeded 13.1 and would drop when voltage returned to below 12.8. That's certainly what my manual states. I have no relay, I also do not have a solar panel. To date all has worked great. I too have an RX.
Thanks Max, I have a manual - perhaps should have found an auto. I am a little excited to pick her up. It's at ARB getting some trinkets fitted as I type.
I looked at your garage, nice looking Nav!
Have not brought the EGR plate as I take delivery of the car on Friday and am not sure which plate to buy. I will be blocking though. I am a little concerned about the low down torque, hopefully the EGR block helps a little.
I am still leaning towards the taller profile tyre for that little...
Hello,
Could those with the 126kw motor please let me know how you went with 265x75x16 tyres? Did you need to slip clutch more to take off, is taking of offroad too hard, did economy go silly or power loss really noticeable? I can find much from people with 140kw motors but not much on the...
