I thought I had better throw up some pics of the troll. She is my daily driver and family getaway. 01' GUII 3L TD. When I first got her about 3 and a bit years ago she was stock with no mods.
Since then, she has had a bit of a face lift including:
ARB Bullbar
Runva 11XP winch
Manta 3in exhaust
OME 2in Lift
Dual battery install with red-arc SB112 isolator
Lightforce 240 spotties & light-bar
Uniden UHF 80ch
Pioneer Stereo & speaker system
3/4 length roof rack
rear drawer system
side awning with LEDs
with engine mods including:
Provent Catch Can
ERG blanking plate
Boost/ pyro gauges in pillar pod (boost set at 12psi @ 100kph) this gives me about 300c EGT
Over Xmas leave I ripped out all the old carpet and replaced it with nice new stuff using waterproof underlay. I will never ever do that again.......................
I have connected the rear power panel to my second battery to run my fridge and other electrics in the back, and hope to get a cargo barrier installed soonish. Before Christmas I hope to also get a rear bar installed and have everything setup for touring/ camping with the family.
I will also look at upgrading the intercooler before Christmas.
Nice truck, tyres look small.
You really started from the beginning again.

Cheers mate, yeh tyres are standard size for the time been, I have been looking for a long while as to what to replace them with, not sure what I want yet. I was looking at going the black ROH type wheels, but my wife thinks they look "yukky" and she would like something nice in alloy to compliment. Either way I think I will go MTs. I have had these BFGs for about 3yrs now, they are amazing and hard wearing, but over the next year or so I plan on doing a lot more camping when we move down to Brisbane at Xmas.
very nice now for some 305 muddies to fill the guards,
couldn't see but did you dyna mat it
Hiya TD, cheers. No I have not done a dyno yet. To be honest I really didnt think about it at all, but now you have mentioned it I will have to organise when I get a chance. I may even be able to talk myself into chipping it as well
Nice truck mate. Does need some bigger shoes on it though to fill the guards. Where did you get the rear draws?
No need to Dyno it. I never bothered as I don't want to know how slow my ZD30 is...

Cheers Mudski, yeh I know she is slow, but she can go anywhere.....even though I have not done a dyno yet, I am averaging about 1100k to both tanks which I think is pretty good for an old girl.
I got the rear draws from a fella on fleebay, payed about $600 delivered I think. most of the items I have bought have been second hand or hand-me-downs to help keep costs low.
Thanks bud. I'm looking for draw for the back of mine. I found a dude local who has them for 9hunge with twin built in fridge slides. Just a bit concerned on quality though...
