Ok guys, I have a Waeco CF50 hooked up to a deep cycle battery via a cable (attached to the poles of a battery box) and the fridge cable attached to that. The deep cycle is connected to the crank battery and controlled by a Projecta 150 unit. Problem - lately while the car is off, the fridge...

Ok all, newby electrical qn. So you know how they sell battery boxes right? And I've got an extra deep cycle sitting in such a box neatly tucked into my toolbox in the tub at the back. All controlled by a proper box and hooked up to the charger battery in the engine bay. I've heard and read...

Also have stock torsion bars in good condition, pulled out at 22K. So make an offer, wanna get rid of the stock shocks, leaf springs, bars, rear step. All reasonable offers considered, need to clear the shed.

Hi all, Planning to invest in a canopy for my 2013 D22 STR long tub. Am on a budget. Any recommendations as to a decent functional one? My specs are as follows - white, not necessarily colour coded. Needs to be strong enough to fit 2 bars and a rooftop tent (requires internal bars accordingly)...

Hi all, I've 'lost' a 2013 Navara d22 front wheel cap (hollow centre to allow for the front hub). Before I order a new one does anyone have any spares near Baulkham Hills, NSW? Not sure if it's just for aesthetics but perhaps best to have one covering the hub in case of dirt and crap flying into...

OK folks, I'd like some input from those people that have driven from Sydney or other areas into Cameron's Corner. I'd like to know how much is off-road or dirt road, how long it took you and how manageable it was. Is it easy/hard? Is there a time of year to avoid it? Etc, etc. What's...

OK all tech heads out there..... So I went for a bush bash over the weekend that included one or 2 low level river crossings. When I say low I mean the water level was at about 1/2-way to the tyres. Realised this morning that my rear diff breather tube had dislodged from the nipple housing of...

All, Cleaning out the garage of a few stock items. Complete set of stock shocks, came off the car with about 5K done. Set of stock leaf springs (with all bushes, nuts and U-bolts) just removed today with 20K on the clock. I also have a stock front guard (metal) I took off when I added on the...

Thanks for all the advice everyone. Ended up going for a set of Tough Dog continuous load (300kg) set of new leaf springs. Raised the saggy back end about 2.5" and has a nice ride to it still, in fact better than the stocks. I thought it would be rougher but doesn't seem to be the case. Will...

Ok so what about the Tough Dog constant load leafs on here to replace the stock stuff: http://www.4wd1.com/Navara-D22.htm ? These are supposed to give about 40mm lift and will help the sag when loaded up with camping gear. I also assume they're fully legal. Either way I have to get them...

Thanks Happy John, my mechanic actually discouraged me from doing this also but recommended getting Poly Air airbags instead. These come in at a handy $800 though. At that price I may as well hang out for a lift kit. Would it be fair to say the end result of both airbags and the EFS change is a...

Hi all, Don't have a lot of cash at my disposal. When I do will probably put in a 2 inch lift kit. Have a mainly stock 2013 D22 STR. Got bulbar, towbar, wound up the torsion bars a bit after installation of after market shocks (mechanic), bashplates and the usual external extras (lights...

So I ended up getting a Runva XP11, heard a fair few good things about them. Leads weren't overly long and ended up putting the control box in-between my HID spotties on the bullbar. The solenoid is advertised as 100% waterproof on the Runva website. What's everyone's thoughts on these? I...

Hi mate I have a 2012 D22 this shield should fit mine. Do you still have this? Problem is I'm in Baulkham Hills, do you ever come down that way? Otherwise I'd need to wait until I head up your way which is not often. Cheers mate.

Hi all, wanted to know who has done Monkeygum track at Yalwal, NSW and what your mods are. Trying to determine whether the (mostly) stock D22 will make it. I have bashplates, Toughdog suspension and Hankook Dynapro ATM but no lift or lockers, only a slight tightening of the torsion bars which...

OK guys here goes, sorry if this has been asked before. I really don't want to stuff around with having to remove my bullbar and in January (birthday time!!) will be in a position to add my next mod to the D22 - a winch. My question - I am looking for a winch that I can install to the bar...

Hi all, on a budget, wanting to see if anyone is keen to upgrade and sell their fridge/freezer or doesn't need theirs anymore. Doing a Simpson trip September. Need about 40-55L capacity, good working order. Don't mind if it's an older reputable one (Weaco, Engel) or if it's one of the China jobs...

Thanks Tony, got them fitted today, happy with the look. $1045 for 5 including wheel balance and alignment.They said the camber is off (probably that rough diving through the dunes at Blacksmiths last weekend, or perhaps the fact that my mechanic tightened the torsion bars a bit - gave the front...

Thanks guys, I've decided to go with the ATM's, although I'm wondering of any discernible difference to the BFG AT's because as far as I know the Dynapros are only a 2 ply sidewall and an 8 ply tread. I'd hoped it would be 3 and 10 respectively, but I guess you get what you pay for. Does anyone...

Hi all, have pretty much decided, based on budget, between the Hankook Dynapro ATM or MT. I love the look and potential benefit of the MT in the more muddy terrains and am keen to find out people's experience with either. Are the ATM's sufficient? Are the MT's too noisy on road? Are the...
