Fatmans New Navara 03 Str

[the_fatman]

Traded in my old patrol for this and so far couldn't be happier, the sound from the V6 reminds me of my old v8 commodore lol
So far its stock but i have some plans in the making, new bar, lights, dual batts, yadda yadda yadda

 

[Dave]

Looks good mate.

Just wish mine was that clean.

2 thumbs up.

Dave.

 

[the_fatman]

Thanks mate , does anyone do front and rear bars for these, like a tube winch bar for front and a tube bar back? as that rear bar sits out a bit and is asking for a hit. I also have a winch to put on but no bar yet.

 

[Dave]

There are tube bars available, cheazyracing do em I think.

Got airbags, for the back get a DX filler panel.

Dave.

nice car fatman....I'd look at the TJM steel bar for the front (see my members ride thread for pic of it on a blue and silver nav)..... dave whats the best place for a DX filler panel? nizzbits or wreckers? any idea of costs, as its something i have been considering also thanks.

 

[Jason]

Nice neat looking truck mate.

 

[Dave]

Nizzbits quoted me $180, not including frieght.

My brother can get me one through work. No frieght, his boss saved me $180 on the rear bar I damaged before.

Try wreckers aswell. My local wreckers are halfwits so Ill get a new one.

Dave.

 

[Al]

got any pics of what they look like? on a str?

Nice bluey there fatman! How's it go on fuel?

I still have a 3.5 V6 Jackaroo and while it has heaps of poke, it goes through combustible liquids like an Abrams tank.

 

[mud4b]

got any pics of what they look like? on a str?

Yeah ill start a members post for mine, it has the filler panel.

cheers mark.


Also very clean navara fatman, i will be making tube rear bars/ sliders/ towbar with the cover panel soon.

cheers mark.

 

[the_fatman]

nice ute mate, looks a treat. why did you go petrol over diesel ?

 

[Lil_Menace]

Hey mate, A fellow V6 Nav driver! Welcome
I love the sound of mine when i give it a gut full , People look at you weird when it steps out sideways lol
I cant wait to get a snorkle for it to really get some air into her.

 

[the_fatman]

Yeah same, if i give her a belly full of juice n throttle it turns heads, am still dumbfounded, didn't think they sounded that good
And matty i got it at a good price with low k's and i couldnt really afford to go up a few grand and yeah, wouldv'e been happy either way petty or diesel, If she starts to give the wallet a workout ima trade her for a later model nav in the not to distant future, after saving bigtime.

Slightly older thread, but another V6 owner, woo hoo

Taking the camper trailer to Flannigans reserve tomorrow for a few days, should be good. Still want to get a nice exhaust system and suspension upgrade when funds allow, ( have to sell the other 2 commodores first )

[the_fatman]

[maddogrc]

whats the fuel econo like?

 

[raywise]

Mmmm, still not sure with mine. Haven't gone through a full tank yet. But I'm hoping it is not too much towing the camper trailer 300 ks tomorrow,

[the_fatman]

Can someone tell me how to acuratley or near too my fuel consumption....at the moment it seems i am tethered to a tanker

 

[Laith]

Just reset the trip meter when you fill up the tank. Next time you fill the tank just write the trip kays on the back of the receipt.

When you get home google a fuel consumption calc and enter the liters that you took to fill up (from your receipt) and the kays traveled and calculate.

You might be better off not knowing though
