Had a drive up to the top of Mt McKay - 1849 metres above sea level - near Falls Creek some time back.... we camped up there many, many years back in our old VW kombi.

Currently stock, will be making a few changes over the course of 2022 - glad to have found the forum for helpful advice.
Hi All! My first post on this site.
You might have already seen my misso post our disco on Facebook already, but because I refuse to participate in Facebook data collection, heres my input of our rig...
2011 D4, with a 3.6L Diesel V8 and active swaybars.
As far as my mechanic and I are aware (as we looked furiously for advice during the build) its the first (and only) one in the world. We concluded this because despite a lot of people claiming its been done to a D4, no matter how deep we dig, we cant find anyone bragging about it. And its definitely something that wouldn't go unbragged. 😁
Currently fitted;
- Full length marine grade stainless 'straight-pipe' exhaust.
- Front and rear lockers.
- 110L extended tank (absolutely nessecary!)
- EGR delete.
- 18" TuffAnt rims with 265/65 Nitto Ridge Grapplers
- Clearview mirrors (yes I know they look OTT, but we need them to tow our house!)
- Raised tow hitch (****ed the useless plow off)
This isnt even half of the list of goodies I am either in progress of installing, or currently have in shipping. But I will open a seperate thread on the history and progress of the project. She'll be in the 4x4 Australia mag once its done. Aiming for a Feb/Mar completion.
(Followed image instructions, and still not appearing on preview)

I had planned an SA/NT/Qld trip in September/October this year that never happened thanks to .... you know what, but finally got most things fitted in November... ready for next year.
I think this was one of the last 2016 HSE D4's into Australia.
All ready with my Patriot X1 camper.
Now fitted:
- Short Rhino rack (so can still open the skylight)
- Safari snorkel
- OL bull bar
- Icon UHF
- Stedi Type X Sport 7" lights
- Stedi ST3301 Pro 41" Light bar
- Stedi 10W Mini LED Floods to rear of roof rack
- Runva 11XP Premium winch with Dyneema
- Traxide D4 Dual battery kit
- 18" TuffAnt alloy rims (to fit D4 brake callipers) with Cooper STT Maxx 265/65r18
- APT Offroad Air compressor and air tank guars
- APT Offroad Rock sliders
Still have the stock rims on until the trip. Really pleased with the work. Thanks to the guys at More4x4 in Brookvale, NSW!
The NT will still be there and ready to entertain you in 2022 [thumbsupbig]Quote:

I got some very distinctive BushBarriers. If you see me say hi!
Some may remember me... been some time since I was last here, but as usual, the purchase of another Land Rover has stoked the embers of the addiction...[bigwhistle]
I first posted in this tread back in June 2014, after purchasing my first D4.

Stock standard 2015 MY16 TDV6.... the perfect platform to build up my next toy and keep it light enough to tow the Tin Tent that is coming later in the year.
some stuff to get done in coming weeks.... Llams, Traxide, UHF, Mitch Hitch, Redarc TowPro and more....
Let the fun begin!
