What started out as a work ute, has

turned into dedicated touring D-MAX!

BARE

I

t’s pretty safe to say

that 90% of 4WDers out

there have one 4WD to

do it all. Whether it’s

the vehicle that gets you

to work during the week,

carries your tools or gets the

kids to and from school, most

of us need a vehicle that will

do it all. Then, come the

weekend, it’s still gotta be

able to lock the hubs and head

bush. For Sydney based

business owner of Big and

Little Floors Commercial

Carpet and Vinyl, Reg Jenkins

originally got behind the wheel

of the D-MA X with the

intention to set it up as a work

ute. “I bought the D-MA X

brand new from the dealer in

2014”, explains Reg.

“Originally the plan was to set

it up as a work vehicle which I

started to do, but once I got

into the build more I realised I

needed another work ute and

this became my dedicated

tourer.” Safe to say the touring

bug bit Reg and bit hard, so

let’s checkout what he has

done to prep his D-MAX to be

his perfect touring ute!
