Keep it stock ish IMO. 2" lift, a nice set of 31" AT tyres, a nice lot of bar work and rod holders..
That's a start..

Cheers Kallen.... I was also thinking a smallish lift and some decent rubber and what would you suggest in regard to more bar work and rod holders I am a bit naive on that aspect........but my first thoughts on the bar suggestion was more bar work = beer and your rod holders work =fishing now thats a man after my own heart I thought...but I'm pretty sure you weren't on that path .....:oops::D

Thks guys yeah I don't want to change to many things some good rubber and take it from there bit of a lift...got a boat do a lot of fishing and have to spend the coin between the two so in saying that time will determine what I end up doing, but I love the look of some decent sized rubber on these wagons...I was playing with the idea of a snorkel but my knees are knocking at the thought of cutting a hole in that guard would I get any benefit from a snorkel : ie fuel wise, running better etc would it be worth the effort ?? its a TB42E ....cheers

Think that pictures a bit small ....:icon_bonk:

A snorkle shouldn't affect fuel mileage, power etc. it purely move the position that the air enters from behind the LHS head light to above the window so water crossings are a lot safer.

As for bar work.. Beers and fishing all the way.. Lol
But a nice winch bar and winch make a great accessory. Also add to the capability of the vehicle.
Scrub bars are also a nice extra. Saves slot of paint when exploring river edges for secret fishing spots..

A 2" lift is nice and simple, and nothing really needs to be changed apart from springs and shocks in a LWB.
You can do castor correction bushes on the front diff but not really needed.
Make sure you get the right rated springs to suit current / future mods. If you buy to light then they will sag and you'll be up for a new set..

Cheers Kallen...its good to get ideas thrown around and in a way I'm pleased that I will not really get any benefit from a snorkel ??......can leave the guard to rest in peace:clapping:
