FatBoy's Random chat thread and his D22

[YBOD]

Fatboy, dimensionswise do you know if the canopy would fit a D40?

 

[FatBoy89]

I don't beleive it will mate. Not wide enough

 

[YBOD]

Bugger, shame as yours is the tidyest looking canopy I've seen for the Navara (not wanting blow smoke up your ar$e or anything like that)

 

[FatBoy89]

Haha I'm pretty happy with It too. But it doesn't really meet the requirements for the Nav anymore.
Cheers

 

[FatBoy89]

Looks weird without the canopy

 

[KraftyPg]

Looks cheap

 

[FatBoy89]

It always was cheap haha.

 

[KraftyPg]

Looks better than it if had a tray

 

[FatBoy89]

Nah I like a good steel tray. Either way, Practicality > Aesthetics

Mate of mine uses his tub for dogs, put a false floor in it just below tub height for storage below and cage over the top split into two parts half for storage and half for dogs. As much as I don't like false floors in tubs that's the way I'd do it if I had dogs.

 

[FatBoy89]

I hate false floors and high cages.

 

[KraftyPg]

Like I ever took any notice of what you had.

 

[FatBoy89]

Don't even lie to yourself

 

[KraftyPg]

I tried not too.

 

[FatBoy89]

Canopy gone, intercooler gone. Tent should be gone too.
New intercooler after tray is done. Or purchased if I find one

 

[d22dave]

Why piss off the intercooler

 

[FatBoy89]

Since the body lift its just been a hassle. Ground itself away bit by bit. All the mounts are screwed. Everytime I try to remove the air filter it almost broke.
They wanted ridiculous amount for replacement brackets. (I wanted to buy and modify new ones to suit).
Will fit a micro cooler again some time soon.

 

[d22dave]

The air filter is the thing i want to alter, thats why i liked the patrol docta air box, Lid comes off the top

It wasn't a hassle before the body lift. And before I removed the cooler 30 times, damaged it, bent things.
Eh. It's in the garage now. Where it'll stay.

Anywho, in news this week.
I have had a quote to build my custom steel tray that I'm happy with.
Tray lights: Ordered
Reverse lights/Rear Floods: Ordered
Already have number plate lights.
Tray will be very similar to Mahoodys Tray. After that. Dog cage gets built.
