Damo’s STX550

[gacoxd]

Hi Folks,

I haven’t posted for a while and I’m not entirely sure why seeing as everyone here is interested in the same thing I am; Navs!

I’ve got a 2011 STX550 that I’ve had since new and apart from a lift, side steps and dual battery that I did when it was new I hadn’t done much until about a year ago.

Since then, I’ve done quite a bit

• Safari Snorkel
• MCC Falcon bullbar
• Xrox rear bar
• GME XRS Connect radio
• Cell-Fi-Go Mobile signal booster
• HPD Catch Can
• Plazmaman hot and cold side pipe work upgrades
• Ultimate Diesel tune up 180Kw and 580Nm at the wheels
• NP300 Ntrek black 18” rims (talk to me before you do this)

I have a couple more pending

• STEDI Typex-X 7” spots
• STEDI Copperhead Headlight upgrade
• STEDI ST3303 29” light bar
• STEDI Rocklights

I also realized that I haven’t taken anywhere near enough photos! Will post what I have over the next few days.

Damo

Hi, what was the issue with the rims? Did you require spacers due to offset? I see you have a spain built Nav. Looks great by the way!

The 3.0 lt V6 runs a 320mm front disc compared to a 300mm disc on other D40's so most rims don't clear the caliper .

There are rims available and I was lucky enough to pick up a second hand set in good condition after the first set I bought didn't fit .

Bingo.

Even though they were off a new Nav the very inside of the rim didn’t clear the front of the caliper by about 3mm in 2 places.

corrections were made and now they are good

Thanks mate.

There are some things that give me the shits but all is forgiven when you sink the right boot.

Impressive setup. Those new black rims looks stunning.

Nice Truck mate. I know D40's have there issues but they still drive as nice and in some circumstances better than the latest trucks.
