Sounds like a solid plan. I still love my 22

 

[VillageSTX550]

Yeah really looking forward to when it arrives. Our old one was stock so we are looking Forward to how capable this one will be!

How's the rig coming along mate?

 

[VillageSTX550]

Still sitting at nissan waiting for the bullbar haha! Need to contact in the week to see if it's ready yet!!

 

[NAV012]

Sounds good dude can't wait

 

[VillageSTX550]

You can't wait too! ETA at this point in time is the 17th, so hopes are high.
Still tossing up tires though, it's either the MTR's or Bighorn 764's, or keep the stock tires on rims and get a set of full on muddies(centipedes or the like) and rims for offroad.

All comes down to personal preference and what conditions you will need the tyres to perform in

I'm currently running MAXXIS BRAVO 980 AT/R'S and they are great 60R/40dirt (265/65/17s)

Picking it up on Saturday, can't wait!!!!!

 

[VillageSTX550]

Picked up today! Will have to get a side by side comparison when I install the matching ipf 900xs lights Definately no powerhouse that that the V9X is, but drives great and shifts buttery smooth. Only managed to spin the wheels once, when going out of the dealership!

New seats are awesome, but the canvas seat covers from our our D40 fit very well with a bit of convincing on the straps and the headrest covers.

 

[VillageSTX550]

Well gave it a good run around today to the beach, love it! It isn't the fastest thing off the traffic light(first gear is pretty short, but can tell it will be great for offroad/towing), but once you get into the higher revs this thing really pulls and you can hear the induction noise from the snorkel

Corners really well due to the LSD, and plenty of leg room. Though am intrigued as to why there is no deadpedal still(not that I can fit my foot next to the clutch easily anyway......)

Think my antenna auto lowering/raising thing is rooted though as it's not going up/down when the car is switched on/off or when the stereo is switched on/off. It just stays up.

 

[VillageSTX550]

Well its been going great! Already gave it the christening haulage voyage! In other news, ordered in a set of Roadrunner recovery points!

 

[VillageSTX550]

Recovery points on, done up to a metric asstonne of torque

Nice

 

[4low]

I have the same ones. Solid as!

 

[VillageSTX550]

Big nav and Little nav!

EDS also arrived, very nice bit of kit, the readouts are handy and ability to read/clear codes is awesome!

 

[VillageSTX550]

Well the accessory pile is getting larger
IPF 900XS Spotties ready to go, waiting till I can get a HID kit though.

Got the EDS installed too and it looks sick as!

Then gave it a wash and had some fun!

Probably the first, and last, proper wax it will get. Good ole Turtle Wax hardshell!

All nice and clean!
