Have i read this before?
D40 mate, go with yourD40 because that's what you want.
Nobody is going to be able to change your mind.
Isn't your nav only brand new?

 

[subz123]

Nope that was for a friend MANNING but i do have a d22 zd30 had it for a year now done the works to it but i find it bit old and stuff ive done 250k on the clock
I like to do alot of touring and off road but still need a ute for work thats why I was asking what the d40 boys think of there utes off road i know u have a machine seen the pic very nice.
How is there performance off road

 

[subz123]

[subz123]

[subz123]

[subz123]

Ive giving it the green light for comfort and fuel economy just wanna know how they are off road

 

[mike1303]

We wouldn't all have d40's if they didn't go off road well mate. We aren't land rover drivers you know

 

[subz123]

Seem to get bogged alot. But thats probably just the person behind the wheel. Pulled out 3 d40s last weekend

My D40 is great off road, unless you're trying to go through somewhere that needs 35's and 6 inch lift. For beach and touring it's brilliant. I haven't done any rock crawling or mud work so I wouldn't know.

As long as you sort the clearance out, I would say D40's are excellent. If you are towing alot, get an auto...

A lifted d40 loves the mud!!! But i hate cleaning it afterwards

mine goes everyehere i want it too, and surprises me sometimes, only times ive been stuck is because of the retard driving,

only got a 2 inch lift and A/T tyres in the stock 30 inch size and its been great

ive got the 2011 stx 140kw motor, I came from a torsion bar hilux, haven't looked back in terms of 4wd ability. took my hilux up the cape went good. personally I prefer coil over front ends, much better handling. but I love the upgrade in power. tows my 2T boat like a dream. and im still running the soft turbo pie and standard exhaust. upgrade the intercooler and exhaust plus a tune. will be a power house being 140kw and 500nm u can imagine what it will go up to.

I'm running 275/65/17, next on the list is a 2" lift, ass is sagging a bit since the canopy and extra weight in the tub.

Suspension bloke told me that I don't have much play left in the alignment since the wider tyres, and if I go for a lift he can make it go straight but at a sacrifice of some tyre wear. He told me upgraded UCA's will solve the issue, which we all know from these forums, but I thought a 2" lift would be fine without needing to modify anything else. Or is this because of the wider tyres?
