Congrats :)

 

Nice low k's for a 12?? year old "workhorse"

 

Am tipping the tub is nice and straight too? Perfect platform to make a trailer out of if you go the tray on the back?

This thing has been loved I could tell the moment I saw the photos on the net went straight down to Bris and bought it. No dints in the cab at all mostly original paint with a few little touches. Never been hit in the front (hard) clean underneath I am cheerin the tub is very straight, two dints maybe. Hadn't thought of making a trailer that a good idea cause as far as I can see the tub is worth sh*t...... I am happy and I think the Km's are legit I have seen enough sh*tbox in my time

 

 

thanks all for help let the games begin

no definitely not, I like LPG. but I am impressed with its fuel economy on the petrol, mind you its running 98 at 1.50 per litre. I also like the ability to run dual fuel, its mighty hard to fix if one should run out of LPG. I just went thru your divorce thread, how is your ute running? I am starting my research on gas next week and I found one of my old gas converters that I am going to put a seal kit thru. It will go on the bottle regardless, I do way too many km to run unleaded. I am just starting to read thru the turbo section of the forum to start working out turbo and manifold choices

Most cost effective way would be to run all factory gear. I would probably choose a 3576 also over the 82 for that low down punch. 

Then chuck your gas gear at it. 

Probably wouldn't hurt to get your hands on some hptuners software so you can tune it too.

You liked the rims?

 

Now you've got 2 tubs you need to deal with?

 

:)

 

edit: the canopy tub would make an awesome trailer ;)
