    Next mods on the list are the OCAM roof rack and exhaust and EGT and Pyro gauge.

    Also got chatting with a guy who had a great patrol parked at Jaycar (as you do) and he asked if I had a fuel management system /water detection unit... I drew a blank & then he explained why he had one and the cost of fuel pump replacement! Sweet Louise.. I had no idea. Will add it to the investigation list. So many things to consider.

    Cheers for checking in mate. You raised the bar
    Thats what I did. Pretty sure they are just a 10mm x 1.5 bolt. I just took one out and took it into Bunnings and screwed it into one of the nuts there to get the size, then just bought 2 bolts to suit. About 40mm long I think, same length as the threaded section of the one you're using now

    Nice. I'll add that to my weekend todo list Rod. Cheers mate.

    Threedogs, was chatting to the nice guys at opposite lock this afternoon and they recommended a dieselcare water trap/ filter. Will give them a call tomorrow and ask about microns and flow rates.

    Also spoke with dudes at ARB about a 3" OME lift kit. Did not expect a quote for "$3800 plus engineering otherwise it's illegal". :-O. Plus a comment that they wouldn't sell me the parts so I can do it myself! Dafuq?!

    Hahaha ARB = Australia Ripoff Barstards.

    Sorry mate, I shouldn't laugh.

    Search for suspension on here, there's stacks of advice and options to consider.
    Cheers Rod

    check out mcnally gauges mate, i got one from them after Mudski suggested it. they do a real nice Boost and EGT gauge in one, the Boost is shown by the needle and the EGT is shown on a digital readout on the bottom of the gauge. i mounted mine on my steering column, and its real neat and doesnt get in the way of anything.
    I got red dust in my veins.

    Cheers rusty nail (great name btw! ). Those are nice gauges, but I've already ordered a redarc gauge pack and pillar pod from Mark at Extremelimits 4wd. He did a great package deal for me

    Received my full length aluminium roof rack from OCAM Industries on Friday, so that's been my mission this rainy weekend. Took a week to arrive from Melbourne and everything was very well packaged.

    Started working in the garage but realised the truck wasn't going to fit in there with the rack. Hasn't even been lifted yet, so it looks like i'll be relegated to the drive way for any future work :-|

    According to their video instructions, it should have taken me 1 hour. Has currently taken me 4! Just cant seem to get the last part of the puzzle right - the cover plate. This is the part that's supposed to hold the rack to the roof gutter. Am finding that due to the design of the cover plate they bite into the side of the roof gutter when screwed in!

    Also had to retap some of the screw threads in the brackets as they refused to accept the screws - mostly just full of paint. Makes the assembly frustrating.

    A trip into Clark Rubber and $8 worth of flat thin rubber fixed the gutter issue. I added some thin protective rubber to mount between the plate and the gutter.

    Job done! Look forward to putting it to the test.

    Nice post mate and good tips too. Thanks for sharing.

    By the way, how's the garage clearance now?
