    What to do with the left overs -

    Hi,
    I have just had a aux tank and kaymar bar fitted by ARB to my MY14 D4

    I now have rear bumpers and lots of bits and pieces, eg spare wheel winder, that are removed for the install left over.

    I have to decide by Monday if I want to keep them?

    At the moment I am thinking no but what do other people do, is there any good reason to keep them, does any one want them if I decide to get rid of them. I am in the ACT.

    One other point, they did not install the aluminum plate for the sensors that comes with the kaymar bar. Apparently it has not been required. I have to test it properly to bloody cold outside at the moment. Have other people found they do not need this plate?

    Pics will follow but only got home late.


    Also noted in the doco that after the first 1000km you need to change the transfers pump fuel filter for the aux tank, a log ranger.
    I must admit I did not do that when I got an aux tank fitted on my previous car. I didn't know I had to. Do others do this?

    I kept the front bumper from my last car, a Pajero when I put a bullbar on it. Traded the Pajero on my D4 in Nov 13. Still got the bumper bar - it's now 15 years old Enough said? Makes me wonder why I kept the D4 bumper. Council cleanup is on soon - will I or won't I ????

    Yep I am a hoarder and my garage is full so leaning towards NO.

    The spare wheel winder may be useful to to some one if theirs is broken I guess.

    Not sure what else is there.

    Do you tow a camper trailer or caravan???.
    May be worth seeing if the D4 fueltank can be fitted to the trailer chassis,assuming you have the capacity in your GVM to do so.

    Andrew,
    I do tow a van. Not a biggy though.

    The tank I had was an aux tank not a replacement. So no tank left over just bits and pieces from removing spare wheel from underneath.

    It is a big bloody thing, how much did you get for it?

    It will be a pain picking it up as will need a trailer.

    Andrew,
    It is a long ranger one. I think it is an extra 104 litres.
    Cost $1700 plus fitting plus a full tank

    Aux = Additional

    There are no larger tanks available to fit in the original position.
    Pity although they would definitely affect the ramp over angle.
    All Auxiliary tanks on the market replace the spare wheel location with the tank.
