Over the past 6 months or so I was considering the STX 550 as the next 4wd to replace my D22, after reading this thread and a number of other about the 550 I have finally bitten the bullet and bought a brand new Ranger XLT auto. Only down side is I have to wait till August for delivery.

I am glad someone asked this question about whether to buy the 550 or not. I have a 2006 D22 and and really considering buying a new 4wd in the next month or so and the 550 was top of my list for a while. Reading all the comments about the gearbox in various threads over the past few months has...

I have exact same model and year Navara and have a OME 2 inch lift and no complaints. Installed a couple of years ago from ARB so not sure of price but think it was around the $1800 mark but could be wrong. Memory not what it once was.

Same here, you get used to it after a while but does mean that on long trips you have to think ahead once that needle starts moving.

I have a long range fuel tank (125 litre) on my 2006 STR Di from ARB that replaced the existing 65 litre tank that came standard. Not sure if the D22 is different underneath depending on model and year group, but without going outside and looking underneath, I'm pretty sure the fuel tank is on...

I bought the interior LED lights for my 06 STR from Matt, they make a huge difference, especially the centre light, and would recommend them to anyone

It does say very urgent sale. Hope it is not a true reflection in value as that would mean mine is worth about $5!

Main mods I have done to mine (as I am the same, like to go off road but not trying to climb Everest with it) include a Bull Bar, decent set of spotties, I have Lightforce XGts, 2inch OME lift and replaced the standard fuel tank with a 125l tank so when going on that long road trip you go a...

Really is down to personal choice and also what you have on the front end of your Nav, be it a Nudge Bar, Bull Bar or nothing at all. This will determine what you can fit and where. Just to note that all lights on a vehicle (in WA at least) must be in pairs. I have seen a number of 4x4s with 3...

The only mods I have on my 2006 D22 STR in terms of making it better off road is a 2inch lift and 265/75/16 BFG All Terrains. I have been up and down steep inclines, through mud, water, sand, etc and it just keeps on going. Basically point it where you want to go and it gets me there every time.

I have an 06 D22 and I got a 2 inch OME kit put on just short of a year ago. Not really knowledgeable about the various lift kits all I know is that the ARB shop I use has never put me wrong. I am assuming that ARB only do OME. Since the lift, the Nav has driven heaps better and has also allowed...

I got 30 000 kms from my Duelers which is piss poor considering the cost of them. 90% highway driving and 10% gravel roads. I lost one 2 days after buying from new on the Tanami Track after 100 kms, stone ripped straight through the side wall. I lost all confidence in them after that. I have...

I would love too but as my dad always used to say "that boy couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery!". So there is my excuse, I wouldn't even know where to begin.

I always knew that I should have moved over east instead of to the Kimberley. Really annoyed that I am going to miss the mUster, sounds like it is going to be a blast. Miss out on everything living in WA.

That reminds me, I'm getting a snorkel fitted soon. Told her that a snorkel would make the Nav more economical on fuel, not sure if this is true but she agreed. I also replaced the stock tyres with bigger ones as these are safer on the road.

Okay, I have posted a number of times now on this forum but I have never started a new thread so here goes. I was wondering what excuses people have come up with in relation to their pride and joy (yes I mean your Nav). This could be excuses to get out of doing something or excuses we tell...

CJF Automotiv. He is a mobile mechanic so he comes to you. However he does live north of the river (Perth) so not sure how far south he is willing to travel. He is brilliant, I got him to check out my D22 before buying and he has looked after it ever since. No BS, if a filter doesn't need...

I got a 125L tank from ARB. It was around the $1400 mark fitted. The original tank is removed and the long range tank is put in its place. They didn't replace any sensors so the fuel needle only starts to move once the tank is half full as it is twice the size of the original. Because the long...

Cheers Dave

I am returning to Perth for two weeks in October and I am interested in joining others for a trip somewhere. I will be in Madurah but willing to travel north to join others. I have an Old Man Emu 2 inch lift and getting a snorkel fitted when I get to Perth. Also looking into getting some...
