    Location? Spainish or Thai?

    Bigger tyres

    It's not about the width, it's about the length of the footprint when deflating. Running stock 31's or big 33's, on sand it won't make a difference

    Install Redarc Towpro Navara D40

    Thanks for clearing that up. Just looked under the ute and they left the blue wire about 50cm long out of the plug taped up ready to use. Would you also happen to confirm which colour wire it is at the brake pedal switch? I'll of course double check with a test light :-) or would you just run...

    Install Redarc Towpro Navara D40

    Hey all Picked up a Towpro to install for our upcoming camper trailer expedition. Now I've never installed a brake controller but I'm confident with doing 12V work. Reading the forum it is mentioned splicing into a wire on the brake pedal? Running the wire to the tow bar plug, from my...

    4wd light

    When it engages 4HI and 4LO on the dash, does it actually engage? Could of been water but has since dried out

    Why did you buy

    When I was looking for a ute, Hilux SR5 was $50k, Ranger $52k and Dmax was $40ish. D22 was $28k with the standard bull/tow bar package. At that time the D40's price went down and I picked up my current one for $37k with bull bar, tow bar, tint, mats, bonnet protector and soft tonneau cover (the...

    recovery tow point

    Looks like a tie down point to me. If you have a tow bar, purchase a recovery hitch for it.

    Will these fit my ute?

    If it's a D40 you have with 17's, I can confirm they fit 100%. I'm running 275/65r17 Bridgestone AT D697. I have also run 265/70r17 Cooper ST Maxx with no issues either

    Accident!!

    Correct. I had a head on off road with a quad bike, $15k of damage to the front and roof of the ute. I pushed for a write off, they said nope too bad it will be repaired.

    Should I buy a D40

    My 2013 spain built had its front pads replaced at 50k, they were completely shot. Mechanic mentioned from factory it is a soft pad. Replaced them with Bendix :-) I've had no issues with mine, it's the 140kw ST manual. At 60k now, clutch it fine, just regular servicing costs. I put a...

    Retro fitting a reversing camera to a 2012 D40

    What was the model number? Factory unit in my 2013 is breaking down, and of course Nissan is saying nothing is wrong with it... Been looking at a new head unit with camera for a while

    4wd suspension

    After a lift is installed, you will run out of adjustment when a wheel alignment is done, it won't go perfectly straight. People will tell you it will be fine, but it won't be. You can drive it fine, but tyre wear will be the issue. Zordo can help you out though, he sells UCA's to resolve this...

    Why can't Nissan offer this

    Ford/Mazda were the first I believe to offer a rear locker as standard across most models, now almost every ute manufacturer has jumped on board. If Nissan does something first, perhaps the rest would follow too?

    33"s on a D40 with only 2" lift

    http://shop.snakeracing.com.au/d40-navara-3-inch-suspension-lift-kit/ Adds a spacer at the front to make the 3 inches. Would this be enough for 33's not to rub?
