My 2012 D40 Navara, Set up for Touring

[carro]

Bought the back wheels just gotta find a spare rear bumper and sports bar to matte black out

plastidip is your friend. ive done my rear bar, looks close to 1 million times better than the chrome, one can will do it. and you can peel it off if you ever get sick of it!

you can get the sports bar powdercoated - they break down in to 3 pieces and will cost about $100. i bought a second hand stx550 one and it ended up costing me a ton to buy a loom to connect the brake light etc.

I came across same expensive loom, so I just ended up hooking it up to the parker and break light wiring.

I wired my sports bar brake light into the trailer plug wiring (brake). No messing with the factory wiring.

Yeah I'm leaning towards plastic dip for the bumper, not sure what I'm going to do with the sport bar as I have already run lights and wires through the sports bar for my work lights and led light bar etc seems like a lot of work so might leave it chrome to brake it up a bit?

Yeah it does flash at me, I try to ignore it. Once it gets down to 0 or colder in mine it stops flashing .

Not sure how to turn it off, I thinks it's a safety feature to warn people of potential ice and the cold so probably can't turn it off.

I would of hope there was way to confirming the warning and turning it off lol I think I pushed all the buttons on steering and dash if it does stop flashing. but obviously no luck.

Going back a little. But I had the clip on style roof racks from ryno rack. did a trip to the cape and the corrugation shock all the bolts and screws loose on many occasions. Ive got a set of screw in ones on my d40 now. cant fault them and can move the mounts up or down.

 

[auz1234]

Wow really? So far I've had no problems, I've only done mild corrugations but some pretty extensive off road work. I'd heard stories of the roofs leaking when they fix the rails onto to roof for other bolt on track types so that's why I stuck to these ones. Everyone has their own encounters and experiences I guess.

Once I look at a cape trip I'll be getting a canopy and proper steel roof rack anyway to be sure.

New Snorkel installed this week. Ended up going with the AirTec TJM Snorkel. After shopping around and looking at different brands etc was $180 less then a Safari Snorkel and only $120 more then a knock off Chinese like one.

TJM in Hornsby, great work guys!
