    Newbie introduction

    Hi all,

    I've been a lurker on her for a while. I bought my first 4x4 a year and a half ago. It's a mint 97GQ 2.8L turbo diesel. I have since blocked the EGR and have fitted a safari snorkel. Next on the list was an exhaust then a dyno tune, a 2 inch lift and some bigger black Kings wheels, however it has just done the head at 322.000km. So now re-assessing what to do as the 2.8 was slow. I have a few ideas. I'll start another thread about that.

    Looking forward to learning a lot. Plenty of good info here.

    Cheers
    Rick

    Here are some pics of the old girl before the snorkel was fitted.
