What did you do to your navara today?

[MrCBR]

Fitted up a front interior light from an STX and front mudflaps (p.o. had removed them to fit some wacky sidesteps).

 

[martySTR]

Fitted interior light switches to the other three doors. And fitted some seat covers.

 

[Grechy]

Took it in for it's first service - 1000KM tinted the windows and got a tubliner fitted.

I have been completing some work in the tub of my D22 STR. I have added a set of drawers made out of ply. They sit inside the two wheel arches. I have covered them with carpet and added aluminium angle to the corners for extra protection. Two 45kg, 700mm ball bearing runners were used to support each drawer and they are secured with recessed t-handle locks.

I have also added two boxes (approx 560mm long x 320mm high x 240mm deep) that sit in front of wheel arches and finish tight behind where the light assembly is fitted.

Into one box I have added a 9ltr ait tank and 150l/min, 150psi compressor. I have also added a pressure gauge, pressure switch, nitto coupler, pressure relief valve and purge outlet. Power is provided to the compressor via 6BS cable and this is routed through a relay activated from a switch inside the cabin.

The other box is being used to set up an auxilliary battery, dc to dc charger, switch panel, 12v cig socket, usb charging port and a number of anderson plug connectors. I will be using a 100 amp deep cycle battery to start with, but hope to upgrade that to a 130 amp AGM in the near future. The DC to DC charger is a Ctek D250S Dual and is connected to one of the front batteries with 6BS Cable. I haven't finished wiring up the anderson plugs as yet, just waiting for some more cable, bus bars and circuit breakers. I will post up some pics once finished.

[grasshopper]

Bought some recovery gear goodness - as per the Seen a Bargain thread

 

[RWW]

Done my first service on the D22 since I bought it, made a bit of a mess changing that oil filter

 

[shan_b]

I curse a little under my breath every time I change that filter!

The best I can do is empty the sump first, then unscrew it really fast and have a plastic bag right next to it so as soon as it comes off. its in the bag

Zd filters are a pain. Regular do my brothers zd patrol and the way i do it is back the filter housing off until you hear/feel the oil leaving it as it drains back into the sump via a small hole under the filter housing thread on the engine and then drop the oil from the sump. Leave the housing on until the oil is completely drained out of the sump then take oil filter housing off. Should be empty or close to it. Very little mess for me.

As for me i will be having my ARE upgraded intercooler made ans installed today. Hoping for some lower egts and small gains in power. Then a test at double island over the weekend will see how cool it keeps things.

You get used to it - a bit a technique & speed and you can get it without the mess.

 

[LLadnar]

Finished my recovery point up front, not completly happy with the design so i may change it after the muster, though im sure you could snatch off it all day its pretty solid.
Ran the duel battery line along the top of the chasis from the egine bay and secured it in place, wired up the redarc, ready for the second batt to go in after i find a way to secure it in the box and im done.
