This is towing, so the tyres weren't exposed to the same wear & tear as tyres on a car; we bought a used camper trailer in mid July 2018, it came with Kumho Road Venture AT's with almost new tread on them. The spare had never been on the road. There was red dust & stone chips on the camper when...

I read the above today. Apparently the bulldust is very bad up there at the moment. We were leaving for there later in the week, so currently trying to work out plan B.

Just putting it out there that Bunnings seem to be clearing these panels ATM. $149. I've never felt the need for solar, due to the way that we travel, but at that price, I bought one anyway! Now i've got to figure out how I'm going to use it!

Like the title says, I'm loving the simplicity on these Utes. I've owned the YD25 version since 2010 & all I've ever had to do is replace the fluids & filters, one set of batteries, and tyres. It's never had a spanner on it other than that! What brought this thought on is that my wife has an...

I wish they still sold them here! But, surely, bringing it back badged as an NP300 is going to cause all kinds of confusion! It comes with a choice of two petrol engines, a 2L & a 2.4L, or the 2.5 diesel. https://www.nissan.co.za/vehicles/new/np300-hardbody.html

Hi all, I read the old thread asking if it was possible to put a top (as in a 2nd) glove box into a D22 & came away quite confused. So here's the question; my series 5 & the series 5 that I had before this one both have a glove box at knee level on the passenger's side. Above that, there is a...

Not sure if this has been covered before, but just for info; The door locks on my 2013 D22 STR have slowing been getting harder to open. At 1st it was just the front passenger door, then the driver's door too. If I jiggled the key around, the lock would open. I assumed that the locks had been...

As the title says, is it OK to mod a Ute like people do with 4WD wagons? - legally! I have been thinking about this since the Ford Everest drama earlier in the year. Doesn't affect me personally, as I don't lift my 4WD's. But there are 1,000's who do. So................... are they legal...

Just bought one as a 2nd car fridge. Seems OK so far. Looks identical to a Waeco CF40. Got the fridge, baskets & cover for $499. More to follow.................

Been traveling outback for more than 40 years (yes, I'm old lol!) & prior to about 2004, I never saw this. Now its EVERYWHERE! Just returned home from yet another trip up to the Flinders Ranges & was VERY disappointed to see used toilet paper blowing in the wind in some quite hard to get to...

Sat 1st in the queue at the lights in my massively powerful stock 98kw YD25 D22 today & a brand spanking new Pajero Sport pulls up in the other lane. As those of us who drive these know, everyone who owns a 4x4 loves to let us know that theirs is quicker (we're such easy targets) & this guy was...

Having bought a caravan last year & after reading a lot of reviews, we bought a pair of Milenco towing mirrors. We bought the large ones. 1st few trips away, no issues, other than they definitely do vibrate at cruising speed. We drove Adelaide to Camooweal return via the east & west Mac's...

Just a query - I was coming up a fairly long hill in the burbs in my bog stock 2.5 CR D22 & a bloke driving a heavily modded ZD30 D22 in the next lane with, by the sound of it, a straight through pipe & he was flogging the daylights out of it. from 2nd gear, I accelerated to the speed limit & to...

I need to know how much interest I've paid on my Ute finance so I can claim it on my tax return (self employed). I've always had finance for the work car & each year I've just called the finance company & they've told me verbally over the phone how much interest I've paid + sent me a written...

Hi all, I had a really nice surprise when I went in to buy a DC/DC charger for the CT from a 12V dealer here in Adelaide today & he asked what type of vehicle I was running? When I told him a Navara & that he'd sold me the VSR & cabling I'm running, he said he didn't think I'd need a DC/DC...

OK, so I picked up the new D22 last Thursday arvo; I traded the 2010 in on it. They are the same model/series & even the same colour. On the W/E we took it up to the southern Flinders to get the 800km's on the clock so I could tow a trailer with it at work today. Mission accomplished! It had...

How embarrassing!

Hello all, Just thought that I'd share - I just bought a brand spanking new 2013 D22 for $26,990 drive away with 12 months rego! They gave me a great price for my 2010 D22 trade in as well! Happy - MUCH! :rock: I hate D22's lol! Hope they're still around when I want to trade this one!

Hi all, As the title says, I have a 2010 D22 I want to trade on a new one & am looking for what kind of trade in price I should expect? Polar white - tub liner - Nissan tow bar - window tint - ARB canopy - no scratches or dents - upholstery in VGC - tyres are 80% on the front 20% on the rear...

Hi guys, I've been lurking for a while picking up heaps of good info, but this is my 1st post here; I had the hubcaps off my 2010 D22 stolen from my driveway over the w/e :( I doubt very much that I'll get them back, as I had never considered it necessary to engrave them (I know better now lol!)...
