    Leaf upgrade or airbags for towing?

    Thanks for the input guys, I think I'll look into the dual rated leaf springs. There is a place in bayswater (melbounre) that sells tough dog leaf springs on eBay, will give him a bell. As for the weight distribution hitch, just had a look on the hayman Reece website...

    Leaf upgrade or airbags for towing?

    Yeah I wasn't to sure about the spacers and towing. The tough dog leaf springs I were looking at said they had a 2 tier solution. Tier one would act as normal to provide a normal ride, then when the load was on the back the lead springs would flex to tier 2 offering the extra support. Does...

    Leaf upgrade or airbags for towing?

    Hey guys, I've got a 2013 rx dual cab and use it as an every dayer but it's also used to pull a horse float with 1-2 horses in it. Float weighs about 1.3 tonne empty and around 2.5+ tonne with 2 horses in it. Having issues with the rear sagging under the weight and have been looking into options...

    Sports bar fitting to rx

    Just had a look at the gallery pics pdiddy, looks good! Did you use the black STX-550 sports bars? Noticed you have the tub liner, did you use the RX tub liner or ST/ST-X one? I was thinking once the headboard is removed does that affect the RX tub liner as it is meant to fit around the bottom...

    Sports bar fitting to rx

    Ah nice, pdiddy! So you just lined the bar up and drilled the holes for the bolts, easy enough? With the existing RX metal bars, are they just hold on with screws and adhesive? I was planning on pulling those off and hoping that the tub liner would cover where the RX bars were. If you could...

    Run reverse camera wiring

    Hey guys, I've got a dual cab rx and am looking to install a 7" screen with reverse camera. Done a few installs on my previous cars including a patrol, but never a navara before. Just wondering where I run the wire, namely getting it out of the cab through or under the tub. What have others...

    Sports bar fitting to rx

    Is your RX a Spanish or Thai built one? I just bought a new 2013 Thai built Rx and want to put a sports bar on mine too. What year/model was the sports bar off that you used?

    Canopy/hardtop issues D40..need a guru..

    I've just bought a Thai built RX and want to put a sports bar and tonneau cover on it. Have been told I can't do that as the RX tub is different. Am considering buying an st or Stx tub and swapping out my rx one. I'm hoping it's a straight up swap and there's no additional work required like...

    RX engine vs ST

    Hats the difference between the rx and at version of the 2013 D40 navaras? The st has an extra 14 or so kW and about 45 nm torque, but the engine size and capacity all seem the same? Can anyone shed some light on this?

    D40 RX roll bar

    I've just purchased a 2013 D40 RX PU I think it's called, with the tub. which is pretty much the bare bones model in terms of exterior accessories. I'd like to pull of the basic tub bars that protect the rear window and replace with the chrome bars. I spoke to nissan and they reckon the ST and...
