Thread: What happened to your D3/D4 today?

I bought the D3 in 2017 and he just shook his head. He sold his 100 series and went to an Isuzu MUX via a Mazda ute and Prado.

A few years ago he got knocked off his bike and run over. After a knee replacement he's still not great. He got into the car and said "This is the only car I've been able to get in with enough room for my knee. When he got out he commented on how much he loved the ride.

I know from a maintenance perspective it's not great, but that's mainly because the people we (and the previous owners) trusted to maintain it were "not ideal".

I both love and hate my D3, but the longer I own it the more it tilts away from "hate". It helps I enjoy working on it I suppose. I have no intention of selling it. I'll drive it until I can't keep it on the road.

Have been running 4psi more and I can certainly notice a slight decrease in noise, however as the D3 does travel huge kms I'll keep a listening ear to how they go after a few thousand kms.
