Hello fellow nav owners. Been a long time since I've logged in. Does the Navara club (bro OJ, Whistler/Jed, pedic, and the rest of the gang) still exist?
My 7 year old Navara needs a plastic surgery na. Planning on modest lift 2" siguro. Thing is I would like to keep my old Old Man Emu nitro shocks from bro Jed years ago. Ano options ko if I want to keep these set of shocks? Spacer (?) Sa front then shackles sa back?
How about body lift/spacer, max 2" maybe?
Any recommended supplier na pwede magship to Mindanao?
Hi doc, long time no see! 2" lift can be done a variety of ways but how you go about doing it will determine ride quality.
Are your front shocks' OME part number 90003? If they are, they can accommodate up to 1.5" lift. I have a pair of slightly used OME springs which match up well with those.
For the rear I recommend an additional leaf for the leaf pack instead of shackles. Shackles will flatten your leaf pack in no time. For the additional leaf you could get an additional leaf from a Mitsubishi Adventure.
If your rear shocks' part number is 60064 it can accommodate up to 2" in lift.
Don't know much about body lifts so can't really help you there.
My front and rear shocks are OME nitro sport shocks. Not sure about the part numbers though. Will try to look for the box in my garage. I'm sure they're still there coz that's where I placed the stock Navara shocks.
Just realized those shocks must have a lot of kms on them by now. Was it 4 or 5 years ago when you got them? Ang tibay ha.
Here's a good resource on minor lifts (up to 2"). It's for the Toyota Tacoma, but the same principles apply to the Navara as they are both double wishbones up front, and leaf springs out back.

Any idea what could this be? Im seeing 2 front oil seals but what are the MAW's, do I need to drop the whole axle to replace the seals, anyone tried this DIY'd?

^Just an update. Pinion seal (PN#38189-ZJ00A) replacement for M226 axle lowest quote from casa is P6k for parts and 1d labor. Apparently the problem is common with the vehicle age as per the S/A.
Thinking of DIY on spare time just doing some more research about risk of damage from incorrect torque/ pre-load crush gaskets and a 33mm socket w/c is hard to find.
Also need to diagnose if gasket wear is due high k's, crossjoints, drive shaft, or breather tube, but so far no vibrations or harsh NVH on tail-end.
Hi Mga Sir! Patulong lang po sa mga part no. Palitin na kasi. Thanks
Took pictures also.
1. Yun white plastic na holder ng hood prop. Biyak na kasi.
2. Rubber peg/paa 2pcs. Underneath ng hood sa leading edge. Perished na yun goma.
3. Plastic thingy sa inside ng door kun saan nakakabit yun rubber insulation sa dulo. Nabiyak yung paa kaya lagi nalalaglag.
Thanks mga master!

Siguro dahil sa init and constant hammering dahil drivers door pa naman.

Bro, pasensya na can't help you much on the DIY stuff. Ikaw lang naman ang McGyver dito.
Reading your posts makes me want to sell mine sometimes. I know I won't have the necessary mechanical dexterity to do what you can when the car needs it.
Been hearing some squeaks from the front end lately. Looks like the makeshift shock mount bushes are wearing out already.
Anyone know a good supplier of shock mount bushes? Most stores only sell them with shocks. My Koni shocks are still good. Don't feel like buying shocks just so I can use the bushings hehe
Finally got the time to take the pickup for a badly needed trip to the car bidet.
I think I lost 2 kg of mud. Car feels lighter hehe.
No prob bro, that is why I am sharing my experience as to help also others especially those worn parts that could be easily DIYd. With the vehicle age, these parts are normal wear and tear. I could opt to ignore but i'm OC with maintenance especially those that could make more damage. Yung mga dent dent ding dings at bumper benders diko na pinapansin, after all this is a farm truck. hehe
I got the P200 tool, have to machine if it would'nt fit as to no thin-walled available.

If that is a clunking sound when vehicle is shifting weight, then there's a high possibility of worn front body mount as this is a common problem with D40. Shock mounts and bushings as i've inspected would'nt make sound with simple movement because of the heavy duty insulation material and the springs plus weight of the vehicle that compresses it. Body mounts otoh made of rubber and center rod prone to rusting having lots of surface area of contact makes the sound.
Here's the looks of my body mount before i replaced it, notice the rust stain signs of center nut corroding. Nasobrahan yata ng carwash at swimming sa baha. hehe Fender liner needs to be removed to see these mounts.
