IF you want long travel shocks try rears from a GQ patrol for the rear and rears from a 80 series cruiser for the front, they work a treat. I've tried EFS amd Procomp and they seem to work quite well using this vehicle combination

Im looking at putting in an air locker in the front of my patrol, either an ARB airlocker or TJM pro locker, which of the two would be the way to go, for performance, price, and compressor type?

I have td42 with an AXT turbo and i am looking at intercooling it, now what i want find out is which intercooler to use air to air or water to air, and which brand is the most efficent and consistant, any advice eill be good.

Can anyone give me information on the 1KZ-TE, reliability etc..., i'm looking at fitting one to my lux, if all checks out.


Thanks
