Dave's new Dmax.

[shaggy]

Yeah but D40's biggest problems are in the drivers seats, the same couldn't possibly be said for D22's

I dont have a problem in my drivers seat must be a d40 thing

 

[KraftyPg]

Yeah but D22's came with rose coloured mirrors, from the inside you don't see what other people see from outside the car.

(By the way, I'd never thought there was such a smiley in this forum)

 

[houndour]

[Dave]

Some !@#$ sucker thought it would be funny to throw a egg at my ute. Marked the paint too, jealous mother !@#$er.

So that will have to be resprayed.



The cockpit.





Love that Dmax.

 

[Deadly]

There's some low life scumbags around

But other then that..........................nice & SHINY

 

[Dave]

Cheers mate.

My brother is a panel beater so I should be able to get it fixed at a reasonable price.

I shouldn't have to spend that cash though, if these !@#$wits are caught. I can see a spinelss judge handing out some piss weak Good behaviour bond or something.

No wonder the Police get no respect.

 

[bullwinkle]

Sham about the egging, but a great looking ute.

 

[d22dave]

That sucks Dave, Brainless pricks they are, With no respect and no hope.

Hey Dave when you getting the ariels to go with your RM Williams mats?

 

[Dave]

Dunno, thinking of buying one of these.

Some kids are just turds from birth - hope the paint buffs out.

I tried a dmax on for size the other day. Twas the base model but still felt real nice - bit pricey but good. What's your thoughts on the dial 4x4 shift - work alright or a bit airy fairy (I really like the stick in d22)? And is low range low enough?

 

[Dave]

Oh and as for the ute, love it.

Best money I have spent in ages.

I prefer the original style rigs....at least if you drop and damage the mic, it will be only a small replacement cost

 

[Dave]

Only used the dial once so far. Seem to work alright, older RA Rodeo's had drama's with the system but so far I haven't heard of any issues in this model.

Where are you located NakedApe ?

I brought mine from a dealer in Sydney and saved 10 grand, worked out cheaper then I thought.

I have the same, The icom ic 400 pro. Beside the mic cost as Krankin points out, i like the idea of the new radios with all controls in the mic, The radio the CFA put in my ute has the controls in the mic and the main unit tucked under the seat and just the mic on show, It saves a lot of room

 

[Old.Tony]

Oh there's a back-pedal for ya. You '22 jockeys were ripping the **** out of us D40 pilots for having a dial to select 2H-4H-4L and now Dave comes along (in a competitor's vehicle no less) and it's suddenly THE thing to have?

THAT is how you spell 'fickle'.

 

[Dave]

I believe Ill have the original switches in my Dmax in several years time.

Should I search for failed switches on D40's ?

 

[Old.Tony]

I'm sure you'll find one or two, mate. Like we'd probably find one or two Isuzu rotary switch problems as well as issues with the rear view mirrors in 2850cc Toranas. I don't think there's a single thing on any car that hasn't been a problem at some point!

I'm just amused by the turn-around!

 

[Dave]

Id prefer a transfer stick, but I dont have a choice on this truck. As D40 drivers dont.
