My new Aventura (now with bling)

Hi mate, thanks, yeah i collected the replacement yesterday 08 spec, i've just finished putting all the accessories on it, i had to buy them all over again, Nissan paid me to leave everything bar the wheels on the old truck, so everythings new again.

I'll get some pics up later :wink:

Regarding the handle covers, the ones on the first truck i got from a guy on ebay, they're Dragon stainless steel, i paid £50 for them but he doesn't sell them anymore

so i had to pay a bit more and get them here:

Not cheap, but they look very nice, so much better than a lot of the cheap ones i've seen. There;s also some dodgy stainless ones going around i wouldn't touch them mate. As for fitting, very easy, they come with double sided tape, just make sure the handle is clean before fitting the covers, i cleaned mine with some alcohol, and i also used a dab of silicone as a backup in case the tape failed, they take around 10 mins to fit properly

If you search around you might get a good deal on a set, but i couldn't find any, only cheapos!, just make sure they're the Dragon ones.

Hope this helps, if i can help further give me a shout :wink:

Nice looking Navara

Would it be possible to get the details on the wheels and tyres and where best to purchase them

Hi there, the wheels are Italian, they are "River TST full painted silver"

22inch, tyres are Hankook 285 x 35 x 22"

I think there is a supplier in Scotland?, if i find the link i'll post it here, i gotta tell you though, they ain't cheap

:wink:

Can't wait to see the new truck Steve..
The sidesteps look very impressive on your 1st one. Would you mind letting me know where you bought them?

I'd like to modify a set with amber LED sidelights fitted, three or four down both sides. Now that would look impressive with the winter months upon us soon. Not sure on the legality of this though.

Hi mate, somebody does some illuminated side steps, but they want silly money for them, i think your idea of modding them would be a lot cheaper.

Anyway here's where i got mine from:

lil trucker,
what size are those wheels?
Nice looking car by the way.

Do the sidesteps fit to the same brackets as the original ones or are they a different fit Steve?

Thanks axr, i no longer have this truck as there were problems with it, i got a replacement a few weeks ago, here it is, i know it looks the same :wink:

Replacement (08 model)

The wheels are 22" x 10" :wink:

Hi mate, you get 2 pairs of handed brackets, nuts, bolts and washers etc supplied with the steps. The stock steps as you know have three brackets, the new steps only have two brackets, they only need two brackets as there is no flex in them at all very strong.

They're easy to fit, you get a little diagram etc.

Steve :wink:
