Hey guys

Fantastic work done.

I'd really like to have more info on the turbo setup e.g. what manifold was used, psi, when the turbo kicks (RPM), etc.

the turbo setup was quite simple, the standard manifold was used with a adapater plate from a member on an aussie forum, im running about 13-14 psi and it comes on boost instantly it is at full boost around 1800rpm so it has plenty of power!

Heres some pics should have some more for you guys in the next couple of days! just sucks because you cant see the pearl in the photos.

How much weight was shed? Lol

Gas mileage ought to be better now

 

[stonemountain]

I love it!!! Looks awesome! Are you going to enclose the bed? What are the plans for storage? Beautiful job!

 

[_Mitcho_]

thanks guys!

there wasnt heaps of weight shed as we had to make all new inner quaters etc but i will get it all weighted up once its 100% finished.

i wont be enclosing the bed but ill be getting a custom stainless box made up for the bed for recovery gear etc! ill have to get some pics of inside the cab just so you guys can see how much room there is in the cab its rediculous haha

Wow. I have to be honest, I've really never been a fan of utes, but this is impressive and it really does look great. Loads of respect!

Really good looking truck. I may have missed it, but what size boggers are those, and how wide are the rims?

 

[_Mitcho_]

Stylish and robust at the same time. Nothing like an 80 -- and nothing like your version of it!
Impressive.
