    G'day mate and welcome to the forum.
    2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder


    And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.

    Don't know who is in the Newy area, took ours to DieselCare in Tamworth.

    They have a dyno so set it up nice for us. 122 hp at the rear wheels up from 90something, driveable yet economical.

    After the mods talk to a well set up tuner and you should be happy, maybe talk before to get some good ideas first.
    Cheers
