lol ... thanks mate! Next on the agenda for me is the sliders - front custom tube bar goes on sometime in the next week when finished, I'll do the sliders, gotta build the Ironman drawer system and install it when the wings arrive (bought and paid for, just not all of it has arrived), and then ... well ... who's to know!! lmao ... the front bar is winch compatible, so getting one has moved up the priority list, and the LPG is getting pulled out over the coming weeks with a 140 litre long ranger going into it (will give me 212 litres on board), and then finally the engine rebuild and super charger which is sort of scheduled for August ...

Then it's only the new tyres (going 305/70's to get a bit more traction), the front camera mount (have a reverse camera which I'm going to 'retrofit' in the front so I can take video from the bullbar), and the front seats to be re-padded and re-lined to accommodate my larger bottom half!!!

Wishing you hadn't asked now??!! LMFAO!!!!

He reckons fully tweaked as such, the engine alone should be doing about 140 kilowatts (124 or something off the showroom floor I think, but even if wrong, certainly nowhere near 140). With the super charger, he's banking on over 200!!

With that, probably looking at about a 30-40% increase in original torque also!

That's enough for me.

Play it by ear mate - it was a reconditioned unit about 18 months ago, so hopefully up to the task!!

Another happy snap as I was walking to the carpark today ... it's definitely better than what was on it - even if done by an amateur!! lol
