Build up thread for my GU

Well though i would post a few pics.

Bought by 2011 GU CRD AUTO about 2 months ago now - was very stock standard on purchase, but a pretty clean rig under 70ks

Its my daily drive, but want it as a weekend tourer as we do a lot of weekend travel in SEQ - My missus is a Photographer and loves to get out an shoot new sights.
Also love our yearly trips to fraser so it needs to be capable of week long camping trips.

Here's a couple of pics stock standard as i purchase it ....

First item on the agenda - window tinting for the hot QLD summer ...

Front Drivers and passenger legal tint, rest went a fair bit darker - luv the finished look and works great inside ....

Also threw some spotties on the bullbar - i don't do much night driving so not a huge priority for me - but had to fill in the space on the bull bar with something hey

Catch can next on the agenda - decided no to go pro-vent, rather bought a standard can, mad my own internal baffle and filter inside it.
Mate of mine has a pro-vent, and since fitting it had a rear seal leak - Nissan said it was because of the back pressure of the catch can
Probably BS, but hey, my cat i guarantee is catching most of the oil most, and has no restriction in flow at all, so im happy.

Next is a replacement inter-cooler. The stock one is leaking on the corners
So purchased one off ebay - yep i know, its the cheapy, but ive heard some good reports.
Fitted up well, also fitted an under-slung fan on a really wired up to ignition

Very happy with the final result .

Oh, and i Blocked the EGR while i was at it!

Well today's addition was roof bars and a bonnet protector.

Heading to fraser at Xmas so want to fit a decent sized awning.
Decided i needed three roof bars, and wanted higher set ones so is still easy to clean the roof under them

Worked out a set of RhinoBars on special at AutoOne for around $500 for a 3 set.

As luck would have it, this week i saw a used set of the exact same ones for sale on a local FB buy/sell page - for just $60

They are used, need a clean up, but i just saved myself $400 - so it means i can really splurge on a good awning now.

You'll be able to mount that awning under the bars on those hi set sides. .
Great start on the gu.. and very clean rig..

Very nice rig indeed, will be interested how the IC goes, great pick up on the racks.
Maybe a Bat Wing awning down the track lol
Might want to invest in a Scan Gauge for when the check engine light comes on.
Did you drill a hole in the egr plate??
Also fit a boost and EGT gauge to monitor changes when any mods are done.
Love spending other ppls money ,,,,lol

Oh and a bigger scoop ha ha
