Nope not going to paint it now im just going to prime it And or paint it flat/matt black or what ever it is, Because why try make your truck look good wen your going to have to reado the paint everytime you get a big scratch on it?
I got some new rear shocks for xmas maxxi track heavy duty long shocks or somthing like that.. so much better then the stock ones!.
Oh and ive found a cupple of little rust spots but nothing to major.(i hope)
I think im going to put a 3'' exsust thru her, And then wind the turbo up more, and get a new temp gauge that actually reads the tempature not 5 minutes later it pops up.
Ummm and and proberly getting 33x12.5s for offroad use only.
And if i have any money left (don't think i will) ill buy a body lift and some bj spacers.

(UPDATE)
I am now looking for some bj spacers, Can any one make some and ship them to me for under $150 nzd?
I hooked up the boost gauge and installed, It runs at about 8 psi at 3000 rpm, Also went and got a arial for my truck so now i can listen to the radio and not the same CD over and over and over again.
Also added a fart canon to the rear, Looks good from behind but not so good from the side haha, It sounds the same but
And i buaght my self a early Bday prezzie from tony
And do I need a cert for the body lift?,

Do you tow anything often? I would remove the low hanging rear hitch setup, and relocate the spare tire. I did and I have tons of departure angle, just my opinion though. Nice flex.

some one correct me if I am wrong but
you would be better off returning that fart cannon and putting the money towards a larger exhaust turbo diesels run better with no back pressure.
seems like if you went to 3 inch pipe you would have less restriction.

ya that fart cannon is not so nice its ugly, put straight 2.5/3" pipe on there with a nice lil chrome tip nothin fancy! oh and wait to do your exhaust til you put you body lift on! if u dont it will look like your pipe is hanging down where it comes out!

THis beast just got bigger. i swapped my 15x10'' rims in for some 35x12.5 tires wrapped arround some 15x8''.
So wen i get back from australia the 2'' body lift goes in so i don't get any rubbage wen i turn full lock with the 35's now.. .. .. iv tested the 35's and they only just rub wen i turn full lock.
Will try post pictures assoon as posible
