    Diesel-Mates Td42 GQ

    Brought the old girl mid 2012 stock standard from an old man that used to use it as a shopping vehicle (sad but good for me). Had never been on the beach and had barely seen anything else then tarmac. It already had a winch bar and winch installed so a very big plus. Very good deal for 6K.

    This how i got it.


    Then i installed some 2" lifted king springs.


    Then I got hooked and wanted more mods so i got a snorkel


    Then built my own turbo kit and installed it one weekend

    Nice neat rig there bud. Any plans to scrap that flexy tubing? It won't be doing you any favors on the intake side o things. It's always a good buy when you get it from an older owner.

    Brought myself some 4" flexy coils and 6" suspension stuff monotube shocks because I was getting bored of the HD springs. Made a huge difference in off-road driveability. Awesome flex now.

    Diesel-Mate....looks like a great buy, and very clean. Well done on your purchase and mods - coming along nicely. It reminds me of my old truck which I loved to bits.

    The only thing that stands out, and it could be just the photos, is the tinting on the windows looks really dark ( just like the way I would have it if it were legal ). You would have to be unlucky, but you could get pinged for it being too dark.

    Yeah your right mate the tint is way too dark. It makes it horrible to reverse in the dark so i have to make sure the path is clear before jumping in the car. It must have been on for years before the laws of tinit came in.
