I find the D697s pretty quiet, no whining or anything at speed on the road. The grip is good for what I do, but they are bad at collecting rocks between the tread blocks.

The v6 is pretty good, but as mentioned can be a little thirsty. But a couple of things like the Toyota air box/ snorkel mod plus a better exhaust system all help. The V6 exhaust manifold is a little restrictive. Beaudesert Exhausts have a good system they can fit (around $1500.00), and I...

Slightly different rims Macka, but I did my ST-R rims a couple of years back. They are still looking good, only a couple of small chips so far. Here's the link- http://www.navara.asia/showthread.php?t=17131 Hoo Roo

Yeah Russ, and I'll be telling the boss that i won't be doing a Sat/Sunday shift down the Gold Coast next time, no way!

Nice Guys'N'Gals, bloody nice.! I knew I would kick myself for missing this outing, but after seeing all of the photos and good times that seemed to be had by all, I will NOT be missing the next one. Pity the Condamine looked really low, the last time we went across it was a raging torrent, lol.

That aluminium tube is very strong, good choice for a drawer system. We used it recently to make some double bunk frames in the caravan, some thick plywood as a base and it doesn't move a millimeter. Can't wait to see these finished.

This may help, I've put a few pics on this page, and I basically made up a couple of thin MDF mounts to cover the weird shaped hole ( which is where the ashtray sits in the rear 2004 doors) and put the speakers through that. http://www.navara.asia/showthread.php?t=4987&page=2

I'll say, it doesn't happen often, lol. Oh and yeah, around 450kms to the tank. Thats the reason I stuck with standard size tyres, didn't want to get even LESS mileage out of this gas guzzler. I had 275/70/16 Pirellis on before these Bridgestones, and I was lucky to get 400km per tank...

I did check with Beaudesert Exhausts and they said it will be a bugger of a job, mainly if the headers are being replaced. They said that in itself takes around a day. I was quoted around $1500.00 for a full system including Wildcat headers to suit the VG33E. One other exhaust place at Browns...

That is excellent! LOL!!!! HOWEVER, about 4 months ago that really did happen to me in Hervey Bay. Went to the Thai restaurant that night, had extra hot chilli laden everything, soup/mains etc. The soup was so hot my mouth was burning, I was sweating everywhere, and couldn't really talk...

Yep, still around Bryce, still haven't got the snorkel. Spending whatever spare money we have for a while now on my road bike and fixing/replacing appliances at home, poor ol Nav is somewhat neglected these days.

Some people swear by Ironman, others swear at it, :rofl2:, but the EFS gear really is that much better. Also, ask Zordo anyway, he will always give you an honest answer, and then go from there.

Nice Rob, I was wondering where those tracks were!!! Now I know. Will have to get down there for a look.

Tony deleted the thread last night. I think it had turned a little off topic and was going in the wrong direction,

LoL, I'll give it a miss. Just checked some pricing between Dan Murphys and Aldi on some Johnnie Walker, and it looks like Dan Murphys is a bit cheaper in a lot of cases.
