Thanks for the ideas. I gave it a bit of a clean and seems to be working more consistently, even letting me retract it on the incline. I'll give it a proper clean after this rain and hopefully that will fix the issue for a while.
Yes, it could just be a peculiar thing about the mounting brackets on mine or maybe its had some damage in the past that has altered the geometry a bit?
I have cut out the steel where it impacted so hopefully this will stop it happening again. I was able to remove enough steel without it...
Thanks for the reply. Glad I'm not the only one. It looked like everything would be fine when I picked the ute up. A friend who owns a panel shop did it up (thus the pro respray - looks new) and put the big tyres on to be kind with the expectation everything cleared (just). Seems like the...
Bullbar issue
I just had an issue with my 265/75R16s on a standard 2006 dual cab (no lift). Had been running fine with these for the first 2000km since purchased from a friend with new mud tyres. Hit a deep culvert at about 60km/hr and the front driver's side tyre impacted the rear of the...
Hi all,
Just did a search and couldn't find any threads describing a similar issues. My 2006 D22 dual cab has a grabby driver's seatbelt. It won't retract when the car is on any "down" incline but otherwise is fine. I have to sometimes drive a few meters before it will come out (or to a flat...
My 2006 D22 came with a new set (265/75 R16). Not that noisy on the highway, seem OK in muddy conditions but little testing yet. Bit slippery in rear end when wet but I dont have a benchmark to compare with (first rear drive car without stability or traction control).
I must say coming from a modern common rail SUV I find the ZD30 noisy off-idle to 2000rpm but much better when it comes on boost and pretty reasonable at cruise. Ride quality I find quite good on the highway but what you would expect around town. Direct injected diesels are noisy by nature...
Hi all,
New member here. Just purchased a 2006 D22 DX ZD30 dual cab. A few kms (196000) but a recent respray (exterior looks new in white) and a set of 265/75 R16 muddies. Has an ARB winch bar (also in matched white) with a 9000lb Warn winch (currently not working) and a canopy but this is not...
