Well..

[zippy656]

Friend has a navara d40.
Where best place to get winch bumper,

And

Who can we get discount from for being members here??

 

[jims-terrano]

Was it the D40 that suffered the chassis snapping? If so might be better selling truck.

 

[zippy656]

He's only. Just. Got rit.

 

[jims-terrano]

I think his first job is to get the chassis checked around rear axle. Think it’s effected several models of the nav and pathy.

Chassis snaps in half. At one point Nissan gave option of a replacement chassis or they buy the vehicle back.

yes nasty that is saw a vid of one with it and when it reversed the back went up like a bucking bronto.
i would have thought that all bad ones should have been found by now though.
he better get it inspecter on ramp to be safe.they did a shassis repair plates that was welded over suspect area.

Chassis recall

I think if if he puts the VRM on the govt mot check website the recal is listed if it's outstanding.

 

[terranosaurusdoug]

Do milners do them??

Reckon this video says it all. Be aware that this problem and the timing chain issues are on a range of models and year.
This bloke is a bit of a chump and his business seems to keep shutting down but that’s another story.

Not sure but looking at the underneath it looks like concrete splashing residue everywhere. There is no doubt there was a lack of proper rust prevention and probably not the best steel used - that said I had an old 260E Merc and the rear calipers rotted through due to cement contamination by a previous owner. The cast iron looked like it had been in the sea for 10 year - it was like a flaky biscuit! The previous owner had jet washed it underneath regularly but missed the rear brakes.

Seen this Zippy, much cheaper than the ARB ones that are about £1500.

Yeh but that's not a Navara bumper Doug so will need fettling.

I'm surprised there isn't more offering on eBay to be honest :nenau

Jim, macabethiel, guys lets stay on point here ie. winch bumpers.

He didn't ask about the chassis issues and I think we can assume Zippy's mate has checked the chassis thing as part of his purchase checks.

I know you could take them in to a nissan dealer for a free check at one point.
One of the main causes was how the rear was loaded.
Too much arse end weight will cause a lever effect and put stress o n a certain point in the chassis.
Not just exclusive to the D40,many other pick ups suffer with the same issue.

can i suggest that you look through other posts and name other people too, i find it offensive being named like that.

Sorry, panelbeater too.

My point was Zippy asked about winch bumpers, not the well documented chassis issues :nenau

Oh thought it was Navara, I wonder what they have in Australia, might be a case of find a picture of one he likes and get someone to fab it for him, like going to hairdresser :lol

Absolutely you are 100% correct off topic was not what Zippy asked about.

 

[macabethiel]

We do have some interesting meandering though don't we ?

I have no issue with being distracted by post replies and going off topic - in real life conversations are like that.

When reading posts it often triggers memories that I often feel I need to share.

So back on Topic - sorry I know nothing about winches. I will try to say nothing if I know nothing. After 41 years of being married I should have learn't to keep my own council.

Oh no there I go again........

 

[terranosaurusdoug]

:lol I think the point barrbeast was making is that someone asked for some advice/info/help about winch bumpers for a d40 and the first and almost only replies were about the chassis breaking in two, and as I read them they seemed pretty negative :nenau
No wonder the poor guy hasn't replied

 

[Banshee]

Not sure where you can get one from Zippy but also know of someone else that I follow on Instagram with quite a bit of exposure and they have just brought a D40 to start overlanding in and I think that they want to get a Steel Winch Bumper.

I'll ask them where and when they are going to get theirs and you might be able to do 2 on one order for a bit of "forum discount" if we're clever about it?

Hey, Zippy, Did you know them D40's are prone to Chassis Snap!!!!!
