    1. Will my 2005 D3 ARB Bull Bar fit. No
    2. Will my Kaymar twin wheel carrier fit. I think it will but double check with Kaymar
    3. Will the Safari snorkel fit. I think it will fit but will be next to useless as the V8 breathes through both LHS and RHS vents.
    4. Will GOE 18" wheels fit a D4 V8. Yes.

    I sold my D3 with only one of the wheel carriers and kept one for the D4, this saved a bit of money. If I did it again I wouldn't get a Kaymar rear bar I would just get a rear carrier and keep the original bumper.

    If you are thinking of getting an auxiliary tank be aware that the V8 is different to the diesels and the D3. The charcoal canister needs to be connected correctly or you will have problems.

    Also be aware that the resonators at the rear of the V8 exhaust are very large and will likely hit the brackets for any auxiliary tank. I had mine removed and there was very little noise increase.

    PM me if you have any specific questions regarding the V8, I've had mine for over 3 years now.

    I have an awesome twin exhaust on the D3 that I would like to change over as well if it could be made to fit at the front.

    I wish I could transfer the 100L tank as well. I don't think it will fit.

    It should, there is no difference in the mounts. The only difference is the charcoal setup and that is just plumbing. The D4 V8 has to have a closed system to work.

    I also think your exhaust would fit as the D4 is very similar to the D3 diesel from the the first muffler back just bigger.

    Mine is a D3 V8. I have become used to the range of 180L of fuel onboard. I can get nearly 1500kms on the highway.

    I was referencing the D3 diesel as I had one previous to the D4. The architecture seems similar for all of them. Mine has a 92l auxiliary tank. I get around 900km around town the best I've seen on a trip is 1200. Most trips I do are towing though.

    I get 1000kms commuting which is a bit of everything. They like a drink when they tow. I was surprised with the 4.4L I was getting 16L/100km with a 750kg camper trailer. I am hoping the extra power and torque of the 5.0L will better that. I am not sure what I am going to do with the D3 yet. I will certainly be taking the Kaymar bar off the rear. I will get a new ARB bar for the front of the D4. I might look into club rego and leave it at Port Douglas as I am a member of the Cairns club. It is not worth trading or even selling privately. It is worth more in parts I believe.

    D4 2nd row seats compatible with D3?

    Hi All.
    The middle seat in 2nd row of my D3 is stuck in the upright position. I’ve WD-40’d the mech to no avail. Now looking at replacing the seat. D4 seats are available online.
    Does anyone know if the D4 seats will fit directly into the D3 with no modification?
    I can’t find anything on this topic through the threads.
    Any advice appreciated.

    Will depend on what model D3 you have, later models fold flat, early models don't I think, all D4 rear seats fold flat with the floor so may be different.

    Part numbers will tell you, different part No usually means won't interchange.
    Cheers Baz.
