Still pretty much stock standard. Rhino rack is new (since I posted my last pic anyway). Custom ashtray iPod dock. New SLS bags, and Shamos old compressor. Some wheel nuts from Baffle. A couple of smelly dogs, and several kilos of dirt and sand. Hmm.. that's about the extent of my mods so far!

Nice mountain though. Mt Barney I think

Nice disco mate! The compressor running fine i trust?

Purring like a kitten! err.. well rattling like a kitten. Hmm a really really dirty kitten! Yeap mate, got me out of trouble. Thanks again! It showed up some my disco's history too.. my old comp was in mint condition when i pulled it out. No dirt, no mud. Nothing! The previous owner didn't ever go off the tarmac by the looks! Could have wrapped it and boxed it as a new one!!

Hey Tombie2 - I was born in Whyalla - live in the Territory now. I just ordered a K&N filter to sort problems with my Coopers filters always falling apart on dirt roads. I thought I was buying the bees knees with a K&N. I have also put a snorkel on to help problem and have ERG block on the way.
A note also to everyone who offered advice on getting around my air suspension problems. I bypassed compressor and bags have held up. I have ordered coil springs with 40mm lift to replace. Less than $400 for a pair from Roverparts.

The bodge-up job on the springs will get their full test on Sunday with a 400km trip from Gulf of Carpentaria back to Mataranka on a road that was destroyed by Cyclone Paul.

Thanks again all.

Nice sounding vehicle you have there.

Suggestion though - Lose the K&N mate, no good for dust - ok in the city, but for out on dirt, put the factory filter back in.

30% larger intercooler - Good idea....

Boost box... What reason are you getting this for? To up your boost or are you suffering overboost issues?

I have always advised people where a modification will be illegal.
However, I draw 2 different lines of thought.
There is illegal and there is unsafe.... They are different creatures.

I dont see your vehicle for instance as unsafe... But the law may not like the modifications.

To answer the legality of the tubular bar in this application:

This fitment application would be classed as illegal...
No crush cans and not SRS certified.
Outrigger supports cut through the headlights projection.

How much the tubes block the light projected I cannot answer, but the fact it passes across the lens will make it illegal.

Could be easily fixed though

Personally, I like what you've done to the truck, and it suits your use well.

the SRS problem is a very difficult one to get around ,and there are plans in changing the bars going across the lights
and yes i have done everything which would be required to have it full road legal just can not seem to get it done in my state
so i do also class my D2 as been safe
