Thanks, JWG
That Teyes head unit looks like a biz,
I will talk to driving sounds first before doing anything.

Especially when you're mostly mile-munching on roads and tracks.
Good long-wearing A/Ts would be more suitable for him by the sound of it.

That's the plan, run it standard until I get the feel,
don't want to jeopardise the warranty for now.

First thing is put mud tyres on it.

I thought of that but all my other utes are MT and this is the only AT on it
will keep it as it is for now.

Do your homework and make sure tuner has dyno verify their tunes.
70 serier clutches don't like being pushed and generally need replacing when increasing torque / power
Be very aware of people who remap ecus without a post dyno run showing AFR, boost data etc.

Best of luck.

Thanks, maybe one day but for now, I'd run it standard until I get the hang of it.
