    what to buy??

    Hi all.
    i have a very stock 08 gu patrol with an iron man deluxe bar on the front.
    so now i want to spend some dollars on it in the next few months but not sure where to start.
    car stereo has been done as well as a uhf but thats it.
    i am wanting to set it up as a tourer so any input would be great...
    thank you

    What's your budget?

    As mentioned above the main things I would get for touring would be...

    2" lift and some good tyres
    snorkel
    Recovery gear
    Roof rack
    Loads of spare's (filters, hoses, fuses, etc)
    GPS

    It's an exciting position to be in, Malgreen. Be wary of your weight though.

    ZD30? I would start for pyro and boost gauges, water/methano injection kit, oil can and manual boost controller, from there all the other stuff they posted... A turbo timmer is always nice too.

    Howdy Malgreen.
    I agree with josem about the gauges and the oil catch can and I would also look at blocking the EGR {talk to Ferrett} but you dont need a manual boost control on a CRD.
    If you are after suspension give SUSPENSIONSTUFF a call, here is a link.
