Best on-road setup?

[bloo]

Heh, this could be interesting, since from what i can see the vast majority are hunting for the best off-road setup.

I am looking at buying a D40 petrol (see my posts in the wanted and for sale area's!! ) and it will see 95%+ daily road driving, too and from work etc. The worst it will see is the occasional dirt/gravel road to get to a riding area, something the wife's Rav has no drama with. The main reason i am looking at a d40 petrol (auto most likely) is i wanted a comfortable, quality dual cab to haul my dirt bike around with, but be a decent drive the 95% of the time it just hauls my ass to and from work.

Soooooo as far as using a Navara as a daily driven road only car...recommended tyres/wheels? leave stock suspension alone? Tips for better on road performance/economy? Would a lower profile tyre/larger rim be a good or bad thing?

for onroad i would stick with tarseal tires rather than AT's.
also i would put decent shocks on it and even look at sway bars, traction bars and panhard bar.

+1 on the HT tyres. Standard suspension is crap around town and worse off-road. We recently had OME Dakar springs and OME Nitrocharger Sports shocks installed all around and there's just no comparison. It's like the difference between sitting on a hammer drill and sitting on a lounge chair.
