Gomo to fill your tank drill a hole in the tank lid and fit a hoselocck Male connection to it then make up a length of hose with a connector on each end attach one end to the lid and the other connector stays at the back within easy reach. I've gaffer taped mine to the inside to prevent any kinks in the hose. Just connect and fill no hassle. Now would be the best time to apply insulation etc before it's full of gear. ;D

I fill my tank from a static tank with 40mm corrugated hose. Takes about 10 mins to fill 500l.

I don't think it  would be a problem at all, if I kneel on the tailgate I can reach across to the far side of the tank to open the lid.

Although you are right, I could probably do something like you said to make it a bit easier but I'd need bigger  tubing, normal hose slows down the process quite a lot and I imagine strains the pump.
Search Geka hose fittings. They have lots of hose sizes. I'm sure you could use them to set up Alan's suggestion.

Someone said the anchors are the weakest point,they are always the weakest point in any van-truck. A chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link.

Navaras have universal chanels  on both  sides of the pickup  tub another along the front of the tub and two in the floor the hooking clamps can be locked in any positions that are required and extra clamps can be bought if needed probably got the best load securing arrangement of any vehicle out there.

Spares aren't bad price if you check out Milner off road.

Be very wary of MIlners stuff.
Some of their spares are very good and well priced too - others are absolutely appalling.
Check with the Navara forums for trusted sources.

Can't say I've personally had a problem with them but as with buying anything it's best to shop around 👍I've had parts for a shogun a pathfinder an l200 and navara without any issues but thanks for the heads up 👍

I've bought a few bits off them over the years for my Ranger / Mazda B2500.
The ARB kits were superb and only about £10.
A clutch master cylinder only lasted a week and was of incredibly poor quality.
An overall take on the Ranger forums suggests this is fairly common - replacement heads being made of chocolate etc.
Of my four local mechanics who work on a lot of 4x4, none of them will order anything that's costly or labour intensive from Milners.
Much of it seems to be very Chinese and if it were anything else would probably be on sale at Wish.

You'd have been better off buying a Ford.
It would have been The Loan Ranger. And when you'd nearly paid it off and owed about 80p you could have said "I owe silver".
I'll get my coat on to leave.

Just a word of caution on the soft opener. I had one fitted from new on my Ranger. That failed, so they fitted two and they both failed too. Fitted by the Ford dealership. In the end I just gave up.
