    Unless you want a "note" leave the exhaust till you lay a few more bricks,
    Factor in $800 when the time comes.
    figure out your mods winch, bar work side bars are handy on a ute imo.
    What on the back a POD or just a flat tray??

    ROFL... He's a brickie so my guess is...

    1/2 a ton of bricky sand
    1/2 a ton of bricks and or rubble
    1/2 a ton of tools
    1/2 a ton of beer from 'cash jobs'
    plus 4 beaten up wheel barrows to hold the load down.

    It's a CRD so...
    No 1 priority is a Scan gauge, then a Scan gauge and if you haven't got one already get a Scan gauge.
    After the Scan gauge I would put on a nice suspension (esp the rear end, towers etc), exhaust, EGR block and an EGT gauge if you chip/remap.
    CRD's go pretty hard out of the box if you get them breathing better.

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    Recently have done the first engine mod to my 2012 CRD. I put a Beaudesert 2.75" exhaust on and loving it so far. I went with a resonator instead of a full muffler.
    So far it has amazed me with the change in the uterus. Heaps more power (haven't measured it) but I reckon I have gained a gear. There are some hills around Brissie I used to have to go back to 3rd but now just powers over in 4th.
    has a nice note but not intrusive when travelling.
    The only annoyance is about 1500 and 2000 RPM the engine gives a little flutter where it feels like it looses power for a second then comes back again. Probably a reason for it but I can live with it until it gets a tune. Will mention it then when the ECU gets remapped.
    My truck is a daily drive with an ally canopy on the back full time setup for camping and touring.
    Can recommend the Beaudesert 2.75" so far, nice zorst.
