Cheers. Need to find one... the ones the dealers supply here hang out a bit and use the recovery points as mounts. Got a bush ranger recovery hitch but could be do with it all being tucked further away. |

Still working away on this - just not very good at updating!
I needed to lift the spare wheel to get the 285's (33's) on
And make a 1.5mm spacer to clear the callipers

The intercooler took a bit of a hit on one of the 1st outings and after a while it started to weep. it is located in a terrible place and is actually not overly effective when working hard or driving slow, could easily see air intake temperatures over 100 degrees AFTER the intercooler when towing up any decent hill and the computer then drops the fueling and therefore power.
I guess that meant it was time for an upgrade
It cost a arm and a leg but is a work of art and the results are amazing

Because I haven't chipped it yet there is no performance increase an normal driving but EGT's are way down as the air going into the engine is 80 degrees cooler and after it does rise a bit it cools back down much faster. |

Guessing that intercooler was specific for the car not just a universal?, how much cooler are your average inlet air temps? Getting tenptations to shot one on mine now |

Yes this was a kit specifically for this model. And the inlets are way down, cruising is 5-6 degrees above ambient, slow off roading, about 30 above ambient ( would have been at least 50-60) and towing is the same, way down. |

Great thread, thanks for sharing.
How did you get rid of that annoying seatbelt beeper? |

Plug under drivers seat, simply unplug it. 2 min job. Leave the yellow plug plugged in as it’s the airbag one. |

What details do you want, should all be pretty self explanatory in pics , pricing was about $1500. |
