mine also wired straight to battery stu

had a mate up here in Cairns who wrote off his DX d22, while 4wding. He had 265/75 MTR's on and Suncorp covered his insurance with no drama's at all, he also had a 2" lift and bigger exhaust. Not sure if he was just lucky or not or if suncorp is a bit flexible. Stu

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone out there is using one of these units as im thinking of using one as my dual battery system. Currently looking at the Ctek unit, which is around the $360 mark on ebay. It will be charging an AGM in the tray of my 04 STR. Cheers Stu

well picked up the car yesterday arvo and what a massive difference. The rear came up about 60mm and the front about 30mm (i had wound up the torsion bars preveiously). On the road it feels completely different the spongy feel in the front has gone and it no longer feels like it is hitting the...

The shocks where just under $800, and the whole kit fitted was $2100. That was from fulcrum suspension in Cairns, believe it or not that was one of the cheapest quotes up here for a full kit. stu

Dave, i see you have also fitted the Bilsteins i take it by your comments that you have been impressed by them. How have they been offroad, have you had any dramas with them or ever damaged one. I know they have got a good reputation which is what im going off as ive never had them on a car...

Bit the bullet today and ordered my new suspension for my 04 STR. EFS torsion bars and leafs with greasable shackles and Bilstein shocks front and back. Should be getting fitted next monday as the shocks have to get sent up from Sydney. Cant wait to see what the difference is like and take it...

Thanks for the quick reply's. I got given a 74 a/h AGM from a mate as he wasnt using it so i was testing it running my engel in the shed at home. I got 3 days out of it before it dropped below 12V, so it appears to be allright. Now i just have to fit it into my d22, im thinking at this stage of...

Hi everyone, just a quick question. What voltage should you be able to run a AGM deep cycle battery down to without causing damage and still be able to charge it properly. Stu

I have a ARB smooth finish standard height canopy on my D22 and pretty happy with it had no drama's. I fitted some extra sealing rubber around the rear window and leave the front window open about an inch and it is fairly dust proof. And surprisingly for ARB the price is very competitive stu

Thanks for the conmments guys. The first river crossing is on the Zig Zag track (off the CREB), and the second one is just south of Cairns at a place called Ross and Locke. stu

Thought i would put a couple of photos up from the CREB track just before xmas, was a good trip except a friend rolled his d22 dx coming back down the zigzag track(a smalll track that runs off the CREB). Everyone was uninjured however the car was a write off, still managed to drive it about...

Just another one from a different angle, will post up some action shots tomorrow

Thanks for the comments guys. Not sure on the mileage i will get off the km2's as where only fitted this week, have to say that they are heaps quieter than the wrangler ATR's that where on it before. Pretty happy with the rear step bar, only problem is its a lot of money for what it is. Heading...

Been on this website for a while so thought i should probably put a photo up of my car. 2004 D22, 265/75 Km2's, ARB canopy, ARB rear step, TJM snorkel, IPF lights, GME uhf. Future plans include suspension upgrade, air locker, ARB bullbar, winch and long range tank. Stuart

It is opened again now but will shut again very soon, they didnt open it until very late this year due to Ergon energy doing work up there. stu

Hi, had a set of Km2's fitted to my d22 yesterday. First impressions so far is they are very quiet on the blacktop and grip well on wet roads. Going for a run up the CREB track on monday so should seee how the handle the rough stuff especialy the mud. stuart
