Thanks guys, I will look at an isolation switch or some sort of fuse scenario, the larger more expensive box's are fitted with an isolation switch, but I will go with an isolation switch at the main battery end (to turn off power along the cable until I need it - thanks Tony) and a fuse near the...

Are you refering to vehicle management electrics ? as I will only be running fridges and maybe a worklight (fluro 12v one) I was going to hook it onto the same point they are running the winch off looks like some form of inline fuse

Hi all Well after having my Navara for a few months now, I have been pondering where in heck to put the 2nd battery (2010 ST) and they say they can only do them under the front drivers seat (external - dont; like that idea) or in the ute back. I go camping and have a winch on the front, so I...

you could just put a 44 gal drum in the back of the ute, with a hand fuel pump on it and say its extra fuel, (you came a long way) when no ones looking crank the pump and start drinking ya 44 gals of bourbon LOL

I went manual, as a 4x4 person off road driving autos have their place on beaches and sand where you lose no momentum changing gears, the down side is if you get in rocky tracks, you will be forever riding the brake pedal, manuals have a lower idle and edge their way along.... thats my 3c worth...

I'm in marangaroo, drive a black ST with Kalbarri plates on it, got the snorkel winch bar and winch, so it sort of stands out a bit, if I see any of you on the road will say g'day :)

Each to their own I reckon it looks cool suits my black car :)

Thanks gents my CB is now wired in , the gromet for the bonnet catch won, it was relatively easy, and then I spliced the pos and neg wires into the 12v outlet, I nice neat finish and no new holes drilled, I am sure in a few years I won't be so Anal :)

Thanks guys for your input, the cb I bought was a GME and they have a clever lead end now, the bulky part that screws into the CB unscrews from the cable leaving a metal fitting that is a couple of mm wider than the cable, I will explore the passenger side kick panel first will see how I go...

Hi guys With only a 120km on the clock of my new trruck I am hyperventalating at the thought of getting the drill out and hacking into the firewall to get my cb aerial through. I have checked the posts and appreciate that there are some answers but unsure if they are for the new 2010 model. have...

Thats awsome thats the STR price, you did get a ST didn't you ? they start at $42,000, the STR starts at around $30,000

Hey mate Thanks for that, I am not sure where you put it is really the ideal place, sorry to be a stick in the mud, this is just my thoughts only, and thanks heaps for sharing your position with me. I would be a little worried about the heat gernerated from this pump and the interior such as...

Hi taking delivery of my 2010 cosmic black ST this tue (yay) driveaway was $42,000 but with ABN discount $40,000 he never asked me for my ABN but gave it to me for $39,000 telling me he was in agood mood that day :) and did not charge the xtra for metallic paint so I saved $1465 straight away...

Hi I am about to install one in my new ST where abouts did you fit yours and the switch, just been lazy here to have a look at someone elses , got any pics ? As for the wire not sure on the draw the illumination would be about as much or as little I would imagine as the glove box light anyway...
