George's 2012 d22

[George k]

Finally putting my build thread up after a while here she is stock with the usual accessories
Bull bar
Tonneau cover
Snorkel
Mats
Tow bar
Headlight protectors
I think that's bout it !


And now I have installed ,

2" tough dog lift which I think worked out to 3 in the rear n 2.5" in the front and will be getting new uca's soon .
Rancho steering damper
X-ray vision 200 series spotlights
Led rear work lights mounted on roll bar
Installed a third brake light on roll bar
Uniden 7700 series UHF slimline
Standard 31" Bridgestone duelers on
ROH black track wheels +20 offset
Pioneer d- series 6 inch speakers front and rear



I think that's all I've done so far !

Soon I will be putting 32" tyres as I don't wanna body lift cause I'm in nsw and don't want the headaches !
Wanting to put a LOKKA in the front in the future
After market uca's either calmini or this new type we have recently discovered on 4x4parts .com and I think I will be buying them from there also ball joint spacer kit and diff drop kit .
Led bar on roof rack and on bull bar
Winch
Recovery points
Sliders and rear bar
Beadlocking my sunrasiers
Dual battery setup
Outback roof console
Installing better tow hook points in the tray as the standard ones are in the worst position for the motorbikes

That's about it I think ! Basically I drive my ute in the city everyday , will be 4x4ing not crazy tracks but decent enough and towing the dirt bikes and hunting I think the setup I want will be perfect for what I need !
And also I would like to thank everybody on this forum for the information that u have given and everyone's experiences on how to do things etc I appreciate it !

And finally hope you's like my ute !

looks good man I am looking to do similar mods to yourself.

Did your fuel consumption go up and was the ride harsher after the steelies?

 

[George k]

The ride was a lil harsher but once I got the suspension upgraded it was like a whole new car ! Fuel consumption is awesome I am getting 750l a tank city driving !

 

[George k]

And I have also done egr mod forgot to mention that !

 

[Bazz]

That's awesome mate. Also did you powdercoat your sports bar or was it like that from factory.( Apparently 2012 built jap models have black sports bars).

IMO looks much better black

 

[George k]

Nice build up.

 

[George k]

There awesome dave !!! Lol no1 is really interested in my build lol I would be buying that dual battery kit off you if I didn't have to get Uca's and a few other things spewing!

 

[wes570]

looking good mate. well done.

 

[wes570]

what is the light bar like? is it better then the spotties you had on?

 

[George k]

Hey mate I have the spotties on now , that was an old pic with the light bar . The light bar was awesome gave me awesome spread and the distance was pretty good but I had to get rid of it cause wen I get a winch I will have no where to mount the controller . After I put the spotties on I was a lil disappointed but I still wasn't used to the different light

 

[George k]

But the spotties are awesome great distance can't wait to hid them

 

[George k]
