The mods I have done so far are.
Installed a uniden uhf.
Full nads with auto meter cobalt gauges.
33677
33678

22" light bar on roof racks which is switched from a switch on pillar pod.
3 inch fully adjustable tough dog lift kit.

And a draw system which I am still working on

I am loving it so far, am still playing with the needle and Dawes valves ( thanks to mudski who I got them from)

I like the idea of fitting extra toggle on the pillar pod.
Looking good BTW

Got my new intercooler on. I am loving it, she has so much more up and go, fuel economy is much better. Great value.
It is the diesel smart intercooler.

Nice progress, might have to think up an excuse to do the IC upgrade, think its a great idea for peace of mind over the factory job.

Yeah, I do like that switch position. That's thinking outside the box. Might take a look at that myself.

Hey bud thanks. The top one is for the 22inch light bar on the roof rack, the other is for a rear work light.
Love them, it looks neat and tidy

Got me some new rubber.
305/70/r16 MTZs on 16inch dynamic rims.
They are awesome. They are my weekend wheels.

You'll be happy with those MTZ's good grip, quiet, probably not the longest wearing.
See you have them a weekend tyres so you should be fine.

Its been a while since I've done any mods.
I have installed a dual voltage guage in the cab and got rid of tge old dual battery isolator and replaced it with the ctek d250s. Great little unit.
Mounted it in tge passenger foot well.

How do you find the battery monitor, I have been looking at the same setup, except I was thinking to adding the CTEK Smartpass too also what is your batt bank (1 x 12v, 2 x 6V or 6 x 2V)?

I find it works well. Great for keeping my eye on the what my usage is
I only have 1x 12v battery.

That would drive me nuts, having it at my feet .... I would have tucked it up as high as possible under the dash - less chance of damage, or someone breaking off a wire with their boot. I am a bit of a neat freak though .....:wink:
