hi all
im buying a 2005 glx dual cab turbo diesel and just have a few questions, im new to the whole turbo diesel business know nothing about them, ive just upgraded from an old 82 petrol shorty patrol
1. has a top mount intercooler, should still be able to put a snorkel on right?
2. i did the body lift on my patrol easy enough, how hard will it be on this and how high can you go without having to make 2 many mods with hoses ect?
3. suspension lift, how high and how hard? i did my leaf sprung patrol myself, i wanna at least be able to fit 33" muddies or 35" in the future
4. whats the gearboxes like, i had a mate who knows a guy that said they start shitting them self at 240xxx

cheers

1. No reason a snorkel wouldn't fit - if one is available, but you should be OK.
2. On a Paj, a 2" body lift is pretty simple - not sure about Triton, but somebody here will know. How about NewTriton.net? Have you tried there?
3. 2" suspension lift should be straightforward. 33s should be OK, 35s I'm not so sure.
4. I'm not aware of any particular problems with the gearboxes, but that could be just me.

yeah the newtriton thing seems just for the ml tritons, 1 thing i forgot to ask about the body lift and intercooler is the bonnet scoop seals to the intercooler when the bonnet is closed so a body lift would put that out a bit, whats the go there?
