    Is it the 2.6 4 cylinder petrol? They're a good truck, but hoover the gas and you might discover an issue with the airflow meter at some stage. Mine had a 3 inch lift and was on 33s just before I sold it. Still regret that sale.

    Congratulations Initiaz but sorry to burst your bubble. It isn't high enough above ground for half the things your mates will want to use it for.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I had the Double cab courier version and found it to be really good on gas, until I put big mud tyres on.

    Just before you go off roading, and especially in deep water or slushy mud, wrap the computer in the drivers footwell up nice and tight with plastic bags or similar. Can be very pricey when water gets in it.

    Torsion bars and blocks Rushy, super cheap to get some bogan height out of.

    Nah bro, had the vac line off for unlimited boost for a bit. Waste of time as its limited by fuel anyway. 375km and still chugging away. Done the box earlier in the year, shat itself at the lights down the Mt

    Gibo... another good mod is to lighten the fulx capacitor and if you lengthen the dipstick it doesn't need as much oil , hence lighter and faster!!!

    Looks very tidy (at the moment) Initiaz and may have a few more uses than the Holden...
