DO IT! i have a 2.8 intercooled turbo and the best thing i did was put a 3 inch dump pipe of the turbo and straight through with no mufflers or anything just out the back. if you can with stand a little noise not to much you will be very greatful. The quicker you get it out the better with the ...

i am currently running 33 nankang muddies on my gu. i have done approx 20,000kms on them and they have worn 2-3mm, speaking of off-road capability they are great, but sitting next to a 33 mtr or bfg the size difference is outstanding they are a very small 33. over all a great tire on and off the ...

personally i have owned both i currently own a gu 4.2 non turbo. my previous truck was a 1hz 75 ute, and with out doubt the ihz blew the pants of the td4.2 i do lot of towing and the ihz had more torque to. i found the 1hz wanted to rev more mine reved to 4000rpm easy (took it there wonce or twice ...

just cut it and do this. lol

one thing i did have to play with alot was the settings while driving on road to get right. to soft while roll alot and bounce feel real unsafe, to hard well it was like riding in a hilux (no offence). those setting numbers will stay with you when you hop out to unlock your hubs. if not you will ...
