    Looks Great

    Your L322 looks great, wish I had grey seats instead of cream. When you are next in the market for tyres try the Cooper STT's they look great, perform well off road and only scrape in car parks. BUT they are noisy and will cost you 1L per 100Km or so in fuel consumption. Have you found the space to put a Optima 2nd battery under the RHS rear well?

    Thanks, the seats have a green tinge to them almost the same as the outside. just looking for tyres now and there isnt a lot around in 255/60/18 the goodyear silent armour looks good but $500 a corner
    tell me more about the second battery in the back

    Nice car - looks like it's never been off the bitumen!
    Interesting upholstery scheme!

    What driving lamps does it have - how are they mounted - switched?
    any chance of a close up pic of them - I need something brighter - the Xenon's that I retrofitted off a Vogue wreck are in need of support.

    Will get some pics of the lights at the weekend for you, they are land rover lights and look to be fitted from new as there is the fitting instructions with the service history. they are mounted to the factory A frame (nudge bar) and the switch is on the dash below the heated screen switches. they only power up with high beam.
    the lights are good as we live in the country but i dont like the nudge bar much, but it keeps the spotties on i suppose.
    It has done a bit of off road as there is some interesting marks on the bash plates underneath. getting pirelli scorpion ATRs fitted on saturday and then starting to kit it out for touring for our big trip next year.

    cheers

    I also live in the bush and use mine for 4wding every day, however my only damage underneath is where I forgot about the lowered highway EAS setting and bashed the f/g front diff guard on a kerb in town.

    Mine also has the facory bar up front and it has saved us from quite a few roo hits. The dealer didn't even offer me any factory lights otherwise I would've got them when I bought the truck.

    I tried all sorts off tyres over the years on mine and found the best all round to be Falken - basically road tyres but they have less punctures than all the other brands including expensive Coopers which turned out to be the worst of the lot in that respect and the worst for longevity.

    Here some pics of my L322 I bought last week.

    Its a 2004 TD6.. got it with 99,000k's on it.. Condition it great for the age
    Have to say I am absolutely loving the car Will have it for many years I reckon.
    Has a HR towbar but I think its going to be too low for my 4x4 camper trailer. What do you guys do?

    Cheers

    Hi Camo

    It looks good for a 7 year old truck - it must be good as the dog seems very happy as well.

    How you Queenslanders put up with black I don't know?

    I don't know about your tow bar as it's not in the pics - I have the factory std tb and the tongue height is not too different from that on a Toyota Landcruiser - my camper trailer tows behind each just as nicely remembering that once off road the RR lifts whilst on the highway it sits nice and low making the tow set up very stable.

    If you're still not happy and if your tb has the std 50mm square female receptacle then it is a very simple job to visit your local auto parts shop and buy a 50 mm male tongue of the correct height to suit your trailer - they only cost about $25 each and most can be positioned either way to give even more height posibilities.

    The std RR tb has a solid 50mm male tow adapter so it fully rated for 3500 kg off road duty. You may need to beef up what you purchase as most are rated for the jap 4wds which only cope with towing 2500 kg and off road that is not good enough.

    I also modified my std RR tb by threading a hole to accept an M12 bolt to pinch the female tongue and eliminate any rattle.

    Combined with my camper O'Briens coupling I have unlimited towbar articulation and absolutely no noise under any conditions whatsoever.

    Enjoy your truck!

    I know.. was after a silver one but this one came up. Its going to be annoying having to wash it all the time!

    Great idea with threading an M12 bolt in as it does rattle a bit.

    Will take a pic of the tongue as it is a landrover one. Bloody heavy thing!

    Hey Camo that looks great, good klm too.
    cant believe ive had mine a year, absolutley love it, its never had a problem and ive put over 40k on it, but it does get serviced well and preventative maintainance is the key. the thing i like is the more time you spend in it the better it gets. it just does everything so well and with no fuss.
    from experience its a heavy car so keep an eye on the tyres, i rotate and balance every 5k to get the most out of the them but thats once a month at the minute

    hope it serves you well mate

    cheers
