My D40

[Grechy]

Just picked up my silver D40 ST 2 weeks ago. Have put on factory towbar, hard lid, tub liner, weather shields, bonnet protector and tinted the windows. Up next will be the Nissan snorkel and ARB Bullbar. Bought some seat covers and a dash mat as well to keep the interior looking good.

It's been good fun so far! Some pics.

Congrats on the new ute, after the snorkel is installed make sure you check that it doesnt leak, heaps of guys have been caught out by genuine snorkels leaking and have ended up sucking up water, in those instances its mostly the installers fault and not the actual snorkel.

Thanks all! I definitely will keep that in mind regarding the snorkel.

I want to see what this thing can do off road but at the moment I'm still parking the damn thing in the most remote parts of shopping centres/at work. Haha! Once I get over scratching it I'll be able to enjoy what this thing has to offer a little more!

Looks good. My son fixed the scratch problem, pushed a washing basket trolly into it.
They are pretty good off road out of the box, just a little low and not much belly. Look forward to seeing your build.

Hey Josh,

I just got em from Supercheap Auto here in Melbourne. They're just a plain back seat cover which are water resistant. I paid $120. I jet ski a fair bit so they were a must for me as most of the time I'll have a wet backside and when the boat ramp is busy you don't really have time to get dry! I just got the front ones though because to be honest my back seats are rarely used.

My cousin bought a pair of seat covers for his Hilux for something over $500 which are completely waterproof and have all the bells and whistles but I couldn't justify paying that much for a seat cover. He reckons you could drop just about anything onto em and it wouldn't go through to the seats. He got em from ARB I think.
