looking for advice

[B rad]

Cheers thanks guys At the moment its still totally stock, regularly serviced as per manual, is still a baby only done 120 000. Im not that mechanical but do my best to research what I want. I would like to make it an all rounder as it is my work vehicle towing 2 -3 t most of the time and love to get away camping motocross general 4wding nothing to extreme at this stage. I have come across the mandrel bent 3inc exhaust system with a steinbauer chip and also the roo system they sound like the do basically the same thing just wondering if any one can advise me the best way to go eventually I would also like to upgrade the turbo as it was originally bought through a business lease for four years I have test drove nearly every new 4wd to hit the market looking to upgrade but as im sure all you guys know it is not replaceable nothing has come close to impressing me enough to trade it in so I have decide to work on it and release the beast with in I also want to lift it 3-4 inches have had mixed reports on how I should go about it is coil front and leaf rear keen as to here all of your opinions and thanks for the warm welcome to the club

I would also like to upgrade the turbo as it was originally bought through a business lease for four years I have test drove nearly every new 4wd to hit the market looking to upgrade but as im sure all you guys know it is not replaceable nothing has come close to impressing me enough to trade it in so I have decide to work on it and release the beast with in.

Dont worry you will get a reply from some of the guys that know a little more about the set up you want...

Hi mate,

Depending on what type of offroading you want to do and what size tyres you want to run, a 4 inch lift if its your daily driver and mainly for towing is probably not the best idea.

A 2 or 3 inch would be better IMO.

Below is a good thread to read about upgrading your turbo, exhaust system and some other goodies as well.
