Thread: What happened to your D3/D4 today?

One week on new Akebono ceramic pads all round. Happy to report no brake dust!!. Compared to TRW pads 100% less dust. Performance is 8.5/10, trw was 9/10 just a bit more initial bite, but still impressive stoppets, esp with RDA slotted and dimpled rotors and new piston seal kits all round. Brakes sorted for the forseeable future.IMG-20210531-WA0004.jpg

The Kimberlies are on our to do list, as is visiting friends in Perth. Might need to take a covid rain check for a while unfortunately. I could mail you a cups in a sealed Tupperware container if you like?

Our D4 was loaded with furniture and household gear as well as an 8x5 trailer of gear and a dash to Tanunda and back carried out.

Left Whyalla at 14:20 Tuesday and arrived back in Whyalla at 01:22 Wednesday morning.

913km done effortlessly.

FYRLYT Mofos did the job wonderfully.

Finally spent the $2 and literally 5 mins to fit the half circle, clear floor protectors to the reverse sensors to stop them picking up the Mitch Hitch.

Got the platform and backbone mounted today. I thought that borrowing a trailer to pick up the platform was too hard. So I mounted the backbone and drove to autobarn where I finished the assembly in their car park and drove home with my new rhino mounted to the D4. Worked out well.
