Very nice truck, nothing to do but drive good luck with it.

wow, that is gorgeous. I bought mine from NM about a month and a half ago. Drove it home to NY, although it is a 2h engine non turbo. Your rig looks awesome. Jealous of the rack.

Rig drives great, tracks straight and has great power. A bit of white smoke on the start for about 5 seconds and then nothing. Normal boost is about 10 with a max of 12 that I have seen so far, EGT's are 900 @ 60-65mph and the highest I've seen is 1100 on longer hills at max boost or trying to drive above 70 mph . I'm curious what the experts thoughts are for max EGT recommended in a turbo 3B.

The center console is one that is designed for a Jeep and sold from Quadratec with custom mounts. The top is comfortable to rest your arm on and the extra cup holders are nice, though the two for the rear on the top are pretty shallow and I wouldn't recommend any tall cups as they will just end up on the floor. The storage below is great and does lock up with a key.

The drawer system is from AT Overland Equipment and is really nice. The drawers just clear the tailgate and provide plenty of storage room and extend far further out then I would have thought to begin with. You are width restricted by the separate drawers but that would be the case of any two drawer setup, only time will tell how useful they are in actuality.

The cooler mount is from ARB and is designed specifically for their larger coolers. One of their fridges is on my short list of things to get when the budget allows.

Is this with the EGT probe pre or post-turbo?
If it's pre, I wouldn't exceed about 625 degrees Celsius on a 3B. I think that pans out to about 1100 degrees Fahrenheit, so you should be fine where you're at if the probe is pre-turbo.

The winch is the 9.5 XP running synthetic rope

I will have to check but I believe the probe was installed pre-turbo, if so I'll use 1100 as my back off point
