    First off-roading in the new D3

    Ah, it's been a while, but finally took the new D3 out for a bit of a play last weekend.

    Unfortunately, my wife's nephew drowned his Hilux, so I spent most of the morning recovering him and then towing him all the way back to the city, so this is the only bit I managed to do

    Also went down to the Coastal 4x4 ramp day (becoming an annual event) and posted 36th out of 64 competitors. However, I _think_ I was the 1st stock standard vehicle - see the thread at [ame=http://www.perth4x4.net/forum/showthread.php't=28547]Coastal 4x4 Ramp day - Perth4x4.net Forums[/ame]

    Cheers,

    Gordon

    I am looking at a D3 to buy
    What is involved with getting that sort of clearance?

    Looks good Gordon. I like the look of the LR options you've got but the colour-coded bumper and guards I don't. Not that you have a choice of course...

    Thanks all - it was good to be behind the wheel again!
    Yes, I've fitted my swappable sensor rods to the car - didn't use them in the ramp contest, as they reduce the articulation by a small but significant amount.

    Richard, see you in Harvey!

    Robert, see you in Melb!

    Cheers,

    Gordon
