The New D40 BlackFree

The New D40 BlackFree, now with 35's!

'11 STX 550

Havent done too much yet, Wet Seat Seat Covers, Tow Bar, CB. 3" Front coil Spacers and 2" Lift Blocks Rear, Will change that eventually but I had them sitting around from the previous one. 2" Body Lift when I get the time. American Racing Black Trench Rims 17 x 8 with Maxxis Big Horns 285 70 17's got them cheap off ebay. Still Undecided on a bull bar for it yet.

Still on the wish list is bash plates, snorkel, bull bar and possibly a canopy.

Very very happy with it so far!

Looks good

Very nice truck NA
If only black wasnt so hard to keep clean!!!

Looks damn good man! Black is Boss!

Who cares about cleaning.. it's like having a hot girlfriend and hating her high maintenance.
Her high maintenance is the reason she's hot... and the reason you have hot sex!! lol

looks good NA R33. I dont mind those rims, nice one.

Cheers guys, yeah black can be a mission but looks great when clean. Having said that though I cant wait to get it dirty!!

Run into a little probelm today, with the tow bar I cant get the spare far enough back to clear the diff... Its in there but will definately cause interferance with any compression of the rear suspension... So now its either going to definately need a canopy or a roof basket to mount the spare (I could grind some of the fins off the diff, but dont want extra possible warranty issues).... didnt have the same issues with the king cab... ah well, what do you do...

Just got off the phone to a mate and he had a great idea.... just let some air out of the spare! simple ideas are sometimes the best!

Congrats looks great!

hey mate, just wondering about the 3" spacers on the front, any issues?

That's a nice looking rig. If you're letting air out of the spare, add an ARB Compressor to your shopping list. If you're off-roading, you'll want one anyway.

Yeah cheers, its on the shopping list, my little supercheap jobbo doesnt quite cut it.

Yeah mate, the spacers are a temporary thing for me. They cause alot of coil bucket to UCA contact, ok for on road but not so good for off road. Will upgrade suspension once I have done the bullbar and a few other things so I'm close to the constant weight it will end up at.

Added some black rhino aero bar roof racks and a fox wing awning too!

dont do things by halves do you?

Nice Nave, Rims really suit it.

Body lift half done in preperation for Scotty's sliders.... more pics to come tomorrow when we finish it!

Nice rig.......makes me wish I went the black now not Silver, keep the pics coming

Got it pretty much finished today. Just have to modify the brackets that hold the rear bar on to make it match the tub. Will probably do that at work tomorrow... Pretty happy with it and not that hard a task either! Was expecting to have to make or modify heaps of brackets... Kit came from 4x4parts.com for those who are interested, alot of the kit didnt relate to the new motor though...

Still chasing a bull bar. Gave up waiting for the xrox and called the same TJM dealer that told me there steel bar would fit only to be told it wouldnt this time round... Really want to get a bull bar before the holidays so I can fab up some bash plates.

Hey mate, just keep in mind these have side airbags when you're shopping for sliders etc

Yeah, that concerned me a little... I've spoken to a heap of people about it and gotten alot of mixed opinions... Sorta just bitten the bullet and going for it... Will have a chat to the DOT guys when I take it in to have the body lift inspected and get there opinion on it I guess...

Finished the body lift today, just cut the brackets that held rear bar and moved it up 50mm... welded it up and added some gussets and done! Looks the goods now... thinking about making a rear protection bar the protects the rear quaters and runs between the tow bar and the factory bumper now, now that there is a gap there... not sure yet...
