    Aren't there a couple of video's on their website covering fitting? I seem to recall watching them a while back and thinking it would be an easy install.
    Between Patrols ATM. Had a beaut GU with 6.5 Chev TD. Next is a GU ute with a 4.5 litre Cummins conversion and a camper on the back.

    The one TD shows, and mine which is identical to his but white, is from ARE. Guest 4wd's in Melbourne here sell them. I think I paid around $500 for it though. And it simply bolts straight on using the OEM mounting holes.

    I was on their website, didn't really look for a video. Will duck over and check it out.

    Yep that's what I want. Looks really good. Like it means business. I can't see any videos on the ARE website. So you're saying that the ARE ones bolt straight on, no problems?

    I went to Guests after seeing Mudskis, and the bloke said it was straight bold in with their kit and plastic seals ( rubber seals for 4.2L), but the price was $799 ???

    I bought mine as the scoop only. Just used the old rubber from the original scoop. Found the receipt, it says $550 for injector pump repairs. Lol. One good thing about running a business.

    It definitely bolts straight on.
