Swapping Sub-Forums

Decided to add to this thread rather than start a new 'build' one. Have added (not in any order):

A jack (with adaptor - Thanks to Mr L Andy ;))

A soft rubber cargo mat and a small and slim recovery box (which both stay in the vehicle behind the rear seats when they are in use)

Sheepskin seat covers for the front chairs (we prefer these over aged leather, particularly in the tropics)

And I have also replaced the bash plates on the bullbar as I think there had been a coolant leak and the middle & LHS were both rusted. Have replaced all three though.

LLAMS unit awaits but finding time for that has been an issue lately.

Where did you get that box? Looks ideal.

It's a Space Case - 840 x 310 x 180. Ordered it through TJM Darwin (decided I would order it locally rather than do the online thing which ended up being a bit of a saga...).

When the rear seats are up it sits behind them along its length with the latches facing the roof. Unfortunately it doesn't fit the jack but them's the breaks.

It holds loo paper (yes I did say it was a recovery box :wasntme:), jumper leads, snatch strap, D Shackles etc. I have a separate MSA tool roll which is too large a diameter to fit in unfortunately.

The vehicle was missing the LHS Sill Moulding when we bought it.

Then with the replacement moulding in place

Hi Dale

(Belated) congrats on the D3 - I know it's been worth the wait! :D

She(?) (?name?) looks good - which I'm sure will only improve with time in your care. [thumbsupbig]

Enjoy...

Rob

Thanks Rob.

Plain old 'The D3'. Boys have left home so I think all imagination left with them.

Added LLAMS on the weekend before Australia Day.

and AFTER

Yes a re-map :D

Noticeably a little more power and definitely improved fuel economy - especially after cleaning the MAP & MAF sensors. :thumbsup:

Not to mention the reduced black smoke under hard acceleration. :D

And paid to have an Autosafe Cargo Barrier installed too.

Looks great Dale - are you enjoying it yet?! :wasntme:

Do the rear seats (middle & rears) both fold ok with the cargo barrier installed?
Or does it need to come out for either of them to fold?

Where do those straps at the top anchor to?

Keep the photo's up!
