Soon I'll be up for new disk pads. Rear Shoes to. Not a lot left to go. Looking for advice on what is good thing. Not looking for longevity, more something that has bight and progressive.

Have a bit of problem on my D40 King Cab. Found the front door hinge pin, only on the passenger side is badly worn. With little shards of metal protruding from where the pin goes thru the supportive part of the hinge. The pin must be made of chalk. This has caused the door to drop and rattle...

Changed the Transfer Case oil a couple of weeks ago. Noticed bronzey looking sparklies in the the oil. I changed the oil and have run around for a couple of weeks then drained it again. Nowhere near the same amount but a little bronzey looking sparklies in it. If I got the same amount out of a...

I'm not happy with the pedal feel on my D40, never have been. I'm thinking of fitting braided lines. I was wondering if anyone has fitted them and what sort of improvement if any did you experience. I've done a bit of a search and they are expensive. One mob on Ebay has them for a 5" lift but...

As per title- Sports bar and genuine Nissan Tonneau very good condition, suite D40 King Cab. Only Catch- pickup Cairns.

Have a King Cab D40. See Rays outdoors have a an 8000KG kit for sale $99. From what I have read. It's best to purchase one that is 2-3 times the GVM. My camping gear is prolly only 200KG all up. Next size down is a 5000Kg. Do you think that is to light on? I understand there no point...

Today I lost one of my Ignition Keys. No problem I thought I'll pop in back home and grab the spare. The spare key is a replacement for the other original my wife lost a couple of years ago. Although it was cut to open the door lock it was only coded to to start the engine. The transponder...

Got spare half an hour or two. Check these out. Australia does get a mention in the first lot. Although I think the Canning stock route could have been included. http://twistedsifter.com/2013/03/roads-to-drive-before-you-die/ for the little more adventurous. Whole series of them here...

Any one see it? What a race. Fantastic! Anyone who did see it will know what I mean. Every bit as good as the 2013 Bathurst 1000 finish. Those cars move with Vangisbergen setting a lap record in the Mclaren of 2:03. Fastest car with a roof and mudguards to ever get around there. Their top...

Well I never thought I would do it but I'm in the market for a Canopy. Should of brought a Pathy or similar in the first place but will loose to much to trade. Anyway- Has anyone have these brands of Canopies on their D40. and how do you find it or have you heard of any bad reports about...

Found this on a another site. It's was done on a US. D40 extended wheel base Dual cab so same tub as the King Cab. There is no reason why a a smaller version couldn't be made for a Dual Cab. There's plenty of good pics and tips...

Found on a another site and for most, things that you are already aware of but a good read, none the less. http://www.expeditionportal.com/resources/2680-the-10-commandments-of-modifying-an-overland-vehicle.html BTW the author Scott Brady and team has recently completed an expedition of...

Going to buy a tablet. I am a bit of dumb barstard when it comes to computers and such things. Anyway I do want an Android type as I don't want to be Appleized. It's gotta be 10" to as I don't want to use my reading glasses to use it. Primary use will be be in the truck for navigation and...

Water crossing on a zip line/flying fox. Spotted on another forum I check out. The Expedition Forum http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ueeoOK4yckk There an industrious lot.

It's official Holden to withdraw from manufacturing in Australia by 2017. I know everyone drives Nissans here but a sad day for all Australians really. After all it's more than just a brand but a cultural icon. The Government should be ashamed by it's own behavior on the issue this week...

Spotted this on another forum entertaining and interesting at the same time. Gotta give to those Ruskies there an industrious lot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK6419y4N4Q&feature=youtu.be

Wondering if anyone has fitted the more offset Spanish wheels on a Thai built truck? Do they stick out to far? If they have what effect does it have on driving the truck. Does the steering load up to much on bends....? Thanks.

Want to take a little rake out of the truck. Have raised, taller King springs and Billsteins Thinking of buying a set of these -> http://www.superiorengineering.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=31_52_356&products_id=9363 Looks like the may sit in there ok without being to detectable. Especially...

What mods would you do to your D40 purely in the interest of making it last/more reliable and not necessarily more offroad able. Strict service regime and twin row timing chain mod for starters. Any other thoughts. Thanks
