New from the North West

[Mikal52]

Gday,

Name's Michael, 23 years old and living in Karratha, north west of WA. Been in the Pilbara for the past 18 years :O New to this forum and 4wding. I haven't actually got my Navara yet but it's only a few weeks away (fingers crossed)

I'm buying a 2004 D22 ST-R off my old man, from memory it has approx 140'000km's on the clock. Umm fitted with some 32/33" muddies (which scrub badly) alloy bullbar, a hardcover and dvd player. Getting it at family prices so too good to say no!

Anyway, plans for it are a 2" suspension lift (Ironman) and 2" body lift which I will be getting from Zordo on this site. Following that I'd like a Safari snorkel, Some driving lights and maybe a chip down the track.

I've read mixed reviews about the Ironman suspension kits if anyone has strong opinions either way about these please let me know.

My uses for the Navara will be recreational 4wding mostly, there are some quite challenging tracks up here so I want to make it a very capable vehicle. I don't plan on towing often at all, and on the odd occasion there will be a dirt bike or 2 in the back.

Looking forward to learning the ins and outs of these cars, and getting out there and experiencing the Pilbara outback some more!!!

Any feedback on my choice of mods etc is more than welcome

Cheers
Michael

I did make a thread in the Members rides area but it hasn't gone up for some reason.... So I'll throw a couple of pics here.

These are the only photos I have of the rig. These were taken early this year after a cyclone, a few mates and I decided to go have some fun in the mud.... It was after this that I started hounding my old boy to hand the keys over to me!

I did wash it too..... For about 5 hours all up!!!

Cheers
Michael

Welcome to the forums michael.

I don't remember who has Ironman stuff any more, I know Woodyd40 has some Ironman gear but not sure what. Try searching for Ironman you should get some results.

Thanks,

Yeah had a look through, from what I've read on here and other Forums I think they should be adequate for my needs, so I think I'll stick with them.

Just gotta wait for the Old boy to get home from OS and I should hopefully be in the new rig in the next month.

I've got a couple of pics of it (absolutely filthy) but when I try to put them on here it says it needs moderator approval..... ??

Haha this is it... It's actually Silver, this was after a cyclone and some mates and I decided to have a bit of fun in the mud..... 5 hours of cleaning later and it wasn't so much fun!!

Yeah you need a certain number of posts before you can post pics hosted on an external site. If you've put the posts up don't worry a mod will come along and approve the posts soon.

It's done to limit the number of 1 post wonders positing ads and porn links etc (among other reasons)

Did you experience this first hang posting dirty videos krafty?
Haha krafty gets auto corrected on my iPhone to "leader"

Na I was a good little junior member when I joined then Dave corrupted me!

And here I was thinking iPhones were stupid.

Micheal: I believe that just like you pics above the members section posts and the one you just posted will still require mod approval. I'm sure you'll get approval soon and after a few more posts the approval wont need to happen again.

 

[Mikal52]

Thanks mate... Yeah I'm sure that soon enough I'll be able to post photos without worry.

I'll get some new ones of it all cleaned up when I get home in a couple of weeks.

I wont advertise what I believe is the figure of posts but don't worry it wont take long to get there and in the mean time I'm sure a mod will see the approvals and give them the go ahead soon.

 

[Mikal52]

Yeah it's all good I'll get there eventually, Thanks for the headds up though.

No worries that's what they pay me for...if only they paid me better I'd do it more politely
