    I think you'll find a re-map will give you greater gains over a chip.
    Being a CRD may I suggest you buy a "SCAN gauge" a must for CRD owners
    Thanks threedogs, I have done some reading and I think remapping looks to be the better option also, I'm getting the exhaust done next fortnight will keep everyone posted. Saving some dough now for the Kaymar rear bar with Twin Spare holder (does anyone recommend not getting the twin spare holder and getting 1 spare and 1 jerrycan holder?)

    IMO I reckon twin wheel carriers in favour of the jerry can hplder.
    If funds allow down the track fit a 75ltr AUX tank that should give
    you 1000K plus range

    Did you look at the Rasslar rear bar????

    Better late than never I guess, finally getting the remap and 3" Exhaust done this Friday at Diesel Tuning Australia in VIC. Hopefully all goes well. After that thinking maybe the HPD Series 2 intercooler. All in good time I suppose.

    Haha I actually had to cut the top front of the car port off to fit her under because the driveaway goes on a down slope. You may or may not see green paint on my roof rack

    Had some rear bar detail here (now deleted), noted you bought one.


    By the way get some webbing straps to tie down your fridge. Got a set of those draws not bad for the $$$s, noted though that the slide locking pin fell apart the other day it could not handle a couple of rough creek soak crossings. Using a bag between slide end and rear door at the moment.

    You are doing well. Be interested in your boost behaviour and egt's post remap (when your foot settles down, I no its hard).

    Haha thanks Bidja, I might head down to bunnings today and get some of those straps or search through the shed might have some around somewhere, The titan draws are smack on money wise. I didn't want to fork out $2000+ for a set of arb or other top draws so I bit the bullet and bought these, couldn't be any happier, plus the color looked really light blue on the pictures on 4WDsupacentre but turned out to be like a very dark color which surprised me. I will be on the lookout for the locking pin might even reinforce it while it's still new, thanks for letting me know.

    Redarc Gauges arrived today EGT+Boost including temp sensor and Dual voltage plus the lighting control. Just gotta find someone to fit them now because I'm clueless with Auto Elec stuff.
