ARB...Absolute Ripoff Bastards....

It looks like a multitude of other Suv,s. All the twin cabs and Suv,s look the same. I hope it only comes in hybrid/ev. Diesel is on the nose and with DPF, Adblue, emissions and manifold issues I would not consider another diesel.

Prices are also coming down. Lot of good buys out there now that the ridiculous covid mentality has gone. I,d expect about $50k for a private sale. Car yards will be $5-$8k dearer. Accessories really don't add much to a second hand car. :dunno...

I had a plug in EGR delete on my NW for around 6 years (I think). Worked no worries. 3 years ago I had the ecu remapped and they did the EGR delete as part of the tune. I sold the plug in EGR cheap to a fellow forum member. Combined with a Provent 200...

Why did you replace the radiator in the NW? I would have expected at least 15 years with proper treatment......

[Dicko1]

Have you replaced your intercollegiate pipes with silicon ones. Very common issue with Tritons. Split hoses too bloody common actually.

2 Years...a patient man..

Handy to know and good on you for informing us.

Most mechanics I know call them heaps of sh**.....

I absolutely love driving big v8,s but the love does not last long when you factor in reality. Got rid of a ridiculously high powered Ford due to the constant unwanted wheel spin. As the...

ARB are nothing more than a thieving, over priced cowboy group. I wouldn,t let them work on a kids tricycle.

If towing 1500kg or more often then I would suggest an ecu remap and a https://www.mm4x4.com.au/

This will transform your car and make towing so much safer and enjoyable. I tow a lot and just these 2 mods are probably the best ever for a...

I might, just might be tempted to upgrade my NW if the new one is a big update.......

I fitted an Ultragauge with one of the windows showing speed. It matches the GPS readings on several of my tablets and phones exactly....

When you say you tightened the doors a little, exactly how did you do this? ...

I CANT FIGURE OUT HOW INSURANCE IS CALCULATED. MY NW (2014) HAS AGREED OF $42,500. $600 EXCESS AND A $620 PREMIUM. Windscreen and no hire car as I have another vehicle.
TRITON (2018) AGREED IS $35,000 PREMIUM IS $670 AND EXCESS $900.....

And yet the ITech is smaller.....

[Dicko1]

I cannot see the point in buying a premade power pack when you can make one yourself for a considerable saving . As I said...I reckon the ITech would be better value....

[Dicko1]

Both a bit exxy. What about an ITech. Good reputation and considerably cheaper.. Fitted with outlets/inlets as well. Good specs as well. Money you save you could buy a good dc/dc charger and wiring.

Few years ago now but I know I got a pack from Jaycar. Could have been 7.5....too long ago to remember. I know for sure it was 7 or 7 7 point something. Box of 5 or 10....
