Hey boys,
Ive had a bit of a look around the forum and enjoy what i have seen, in all aspects. the gallery, the camping stories and the tech support on DIY is always a wealth of knowledge.
I have recently brought an 07 D40. 6 speed diesel. she came with a 'slimline' arb canopy in which i have no interest for. arb bullbar with a warn winch. and a red arc electric brake controller.
my plan is to install an EGT gauge on the A pillar (but haven't seen any done on this site)
HID lights
UHF
those ebay touch screen stereos
tint windows
I have fitted some wrangler duratrac's which I have mixed feelings about. and painted the sports bar black.
While i plan to do alot more camping in the alpine, tassie and back home in along the murray, i dog foxes and love to spotlight.
down the track id consider upgrading the suspension and install a roof rack with awning for getting over the ditch and cashing in on the school holidays.
I joined this site to learn about different brands, what a few things mean/do and maybe even grab a few nice camping spots.
from what i can see the stereo install will be a peace of piss. I have installed many of stereos and subs in most model holdens growing up before turning to the darkside.
the EGT gauge has a few doubts with the side mirror defroster vent and the effort required to release that shroud. and then finding a boily to fit the sensor.
the reason for the gauge is to bring back a few memories from the maloo but also to ensure i dont fry the turbo with my green hat.
thanks boys. its good to take a seat.
