Td5 Build Thread
Thought I would drop my build (renovation) thread here on my member truck page.
I purchased the truck in September 2014, it twas straight off the boat from Germany, bone stock with aftermarket wheels, a bumper & winch along with some ugly lights.. Having owned a NAS 90 for 12 years, I had a good idea where I was wanting to go.
Here's a link to an article that was written by a local writer on my truck. There's some really good photos of my trip to Utah earlier in 2015.

First of the upgrades were OME suspension, poly bushings with graded stainless fasteners, Hannibal rack, overdrive, Td5 tach, heated windscreen. (oddly enough, I still have yet to see a TD5 that comes with a tach)
The Roamer drive is a great addition, being able to do 75mph on the highway without blowing your brains out is a good thing. 28% reduction in final drive when engaged, no brainer.
So I had been accumulating parts for close to a year, brought a few goodies from the UK. Puma seats, 5 Puma doors, YRM bits, (galv. rear seat crossmember, upstand, various galv upgrades brackets) Dinitrol for the underside. By September of 2015, it was time to stop collecting, and start working.
