groper Member 611 Member For: 18y 3m 10d Posted 21/03/07 06:30 AM Share Posted 21/03/07 06:30 AM well I finally bit the bullet and decided to buy new instead of used as I wanted the stronger engine and I couldnt find many 04/06 or later used, for a decent price...so anyways, its a new rip curl pack ute, in manual and coulor is conquer... was wondering if any of the factory options are worth it? what you guys reckon?I decided to bail on the zf tranny and go manual too, drove a zf and its good, but still its an auto...

Definitely go the sports steering wheel, and the luxury pack if the budget stretches.

groper Member 611 Member For: 18y 3m 10d Posted 21/03/07 08:22 AM Author Share Posted 21/03/07 08:22 AM whats so good about premium sound? I use it for work so no hard lid either...

Might be a better base to start modding instead of my ute.

Excellent system for a ute, most wouldn't bother with an aftermarket system over premium.Not real sure on the brake options, but the BF brakes are much better than the BA - the rear rotors are the same size as the front.
