If your handy with tools, don't get anything fitted for you. Take the weekend and have a crack your self you learn so much much about them.

For suspension look up zordos suspension he's a member here and does a great kit for a excellent price.

I would suggest looking at some sliders if you plan to go off-road. As the standard steps rant very strong.

Other then that patrol around here and find the threads with the little DIY mods here and there. Other then that it's all good mate welcome aboard

Thanks matey zordo looks to be the go

So currently unsure of what bullbar to get ideas?

 

[NAV012]

I'm also looking into tub liners and tow bar packages

hi mate
the bull bars id go with that look the best on the nab in my opinion are the xrox or if you want more protection the tjm, from memory these to have the best approach angles.
the monster rides bar looks pretty good to similar to xrox but probably a bit stronger.
As for a tow bar id go the ARB or MCC jack bar.

Have a look at spray on liners, they wont trap moisture and grit underneath contributing to rust. Also much more non slip than the plastic ones.

 

[NAV012]

Cheers buddy they hard to do( spray on liners ) and will they last throwing the 2 dirtbikes in the back, odd occasion once a year a load of wood?

 

[bods]

They will handle that easily. As for being hard to do, it depends on your definition of hard. The main thing is making sure you mask off any areas you don't want it to go really well, because you won't be getting overspray off very easily...

Have a read of this http://www.navara.asia/showthread.php?t=29031

Ok cool, how well will plasti dip hold up if I lay down 4/5 coats

For all the effort, i wouldn't bother. It will scratch off the first time you throw something in there...

Thanks heaps happy John, don't know if I trust myself with a spray gun ha ha

 

[NAV012]

So as you boys have pointed me very much into the right direction I have decided I'll feel alot more comfortable if I get this kit

 

[silvernavman]

I'm not a spray painter, trust me.... The rhino with a gun is too easy and will look a heap better than a roll on one. But good luck which ever way you go!

 

[NAV012]

The roll on is a easier way for me bro as I don't have a compressor close amd handy to use, I'm not worried about texture just durability

Thanks guys
