Got a 2011 D-max and now sorting it out, has any of the
well travelled d-max owners had any trouble with stones etc hitting the fuel cooler, I dont know wether to make some sort of guard over it or leave it ( seems very exposed to me ) it will be going around the
corner country in June.
Cheers

My rodeo has the same setup - It has been no real issue - Have not hit it to date.
Have buried it under the mud which led to fuel issues and a temporary engine shutdown to low revs :-)
All fixed when I got it out and washed some mud off.
I do have a 3" lift and 1" extra tyre height to get it away from
the hazards though.
Cheers Tony

thanks mate just got it lifted today picked it up in the dark and its to bloody cold in the shed to measure it but seems to be more than 2" though. gota say it seems to ride better on the 20k's to
home. I am a bit worried about the stones on the strzelecki though.
cheers

We have done the strzelecki a couple of times - Its a highway :-)
It seems exposed but also seems to miss all the bumps as
well :-)
I have done the
Maytown Old Coach Road without an issue, and that has some serious
rock shelves.
This
hill was also a very steep climb with
rock shelves, wife could not take pictures on the way up, had to seriously hang on :-)

I've done the corner area, simpson, plenty etc in the colorado. It looks a bit exposed, but
mine hasn't so much as a stone chip in it. Can't say the same for the rear skirt of
the tub though - looks like a bag of marbles :).
