    Looking good mate, she has a nice stance too. I'm so torn between going 35's or staying at 33's but that combo of lift is what I have planned for mine and it looks perfect with those tyres. Turbo setup looks the goods too. Look forward too seeing the progress

    Gees Mate looks good but there cant be much gap between the intercooler thermo fan and the intake piping.

    Are there plans for a bonnet scoop as well? Also you may just have it that way for fitment and testing the wiring and hoses seem to just hang free may cause issues down the track. But as i said if its tidy now then dis regard this

    Yea man, was a quick weekend fit, it now has a bonnet scoop for the exchanger. im slowly getting through all the wiring tidying it up. got plenty of it to clean up from the last owners alarm install mess.
    Also its now getting a 400cu diesel, probs sell off the motor and turbs.
