Another image with winch, front protection and 4 x spots in the grille.
Anyone know if Uncle Ray has started front bash plate production yet?

Having initially had an immediate dislike to the D5, I have to admit, it is starting to grow on me. I wouldn’t discount it as a future purchase but I think a new one is out of my price range with the engine and spec choices that I’d want.
I’m very happy to have to put up with my D4 for the time being though 😎Bri

I suspect it's because that particular Matzker is built on a UK\EU spec so it's not NAS compliant. Should be easy for someone to trick up a NAS in a similar way though.

I’ve watched the video 2x and they.....for whatever reason......seem to skip over the back of the Matzker D5. I was certain we’d see a centralizing mod for the plate.16 D4 Landmark

The bit where the reviewer says "One of my biggest beefs with this build is the crazy roof load. I guess they’re trying to mimic the D1’s classic overland lines, but let’s not ruin the amazing handling characteristics and fuel economy of this new truck." gets me.
Does he not think the socking great winch, the additional fuel tank, the AT tyres etc. won't affect the handling characteristics and fuel economy? Presumably he just wants a "tough truck" for the drive to the mall...Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"

MY2012 D4 - It kept me hooked...gone

She is wise beyond words. Mind you re said D3, do you even have access to keys for it?
