What did you do to your navara today?

Had some suspension work done to my Jayco popup yesterday and it's got electric brakes, so I had a Redarc EBRH controller fitted to my old gal.
I gotta say, it was a totally different braking feel.
Guess I just gotta get used to being pulled up better haha

I don't know, it only has EBRH on the invoice but it's the dial and button version as in the pic.

where did you mount it oldie?

I'm not sure where the electrician put the little black box and I haven't looked for it but the control is on the right of the steering column.

nice and compact (((-;

It was $649 installed. Probably could have bought the gear cheaper but I had no idea how to install it.

Finally got around to folding up this piece of checker plate at work. It bolts up to my tjm bashplate and bull bar

looks great especially with the vice grips installed , lol

Lol only photo i took

I did this the other week when i realised how much noise that panel broadcasts. I could hear the tyres and lift pump every time i angled my ear toward it. Made a massive difference with the windows up at least, and the stereo sounds F-ing awesome now. Heaps cleaner bass. Makes me want to do the rest of the interior. I'd reommend any one with a single cab though.

Yeah its stock. You're just jealous of my fancy acoustic liner im guessing.

Hell yeah. I lined my HQ statesman in resomat after re-wiring and it made a massive difference. The doors made a modern thunk rather than the old clank! On the jack I let a couple of P platers use mine a while back while I fueled up so they could change a tyre.
They failed to apply the handbrake, rolled forward and munted it. I now have a f#$kin Toyota jack! I feel so dirty....

Yesterday I was late to a meeting and driving the truck in the wet.

Got a reminder about RWD, manuals, turbo boost and loss of traction a few times. Been driving an AWD Forester for a few years and you forget how easy it is for the back end to let go. NO harm, just a little wheel spin here and there but glad I didn't push the loud pedal too hard in the roundabouts.

^ Embrace it! Empty your mind, Be the tyres! Enjoy! Lol nothing wrong with chucking the ol tank around. Gotta love pre traction control vehicles.

Its a good idea ay. I put some deadener on the doors a while back but couldn't find liner thin enough at the time. It stopped a few rattles. Might get some 3mm stuff and see if that helps a bit more with road noise. I get a feeling there is more noise coming through the firewall and through the dash, but too hard basket on that one.
i dont know how you live with yourself with that toyota jack lol. One of my pet peeves - people that borrow your stuf but dont respect it.

Oohh yes. Love me a little bit of lost traction from the rear wheels. It's no fun in a front wheel drive and just doesn't happen unless things are seriously wrong in an AWD.

Fitted a second hand towbar on Yesterday morning. Only took about 30min which was surprising...but... It came with 10 bolts, but I could only find 6 bolt holes and when I plugged in the trailer socket I killed my tail lights and left rear indicator. Looks like I'll need to try re-plugging the sockets and giving them a clean. As for the bolts, anyone got any pics of a spanish D40 towbar mount to see if I'm missing anything.
