Angle grinder would fix that!

[budda]

Just curious, do the bottom row of lights light up on low beam with the angel eyes?

[02agro]

if they are the same halo lights as mine which they look like the led strip lights up on low beem, looks great

Plugged the seat sensor back in and did the seat belt beeper mod the correct way, now my airbag will go off in.case I have a crash..

Good piece of info I found on the site!

First I unbolted the exhaust just after the muffler, it made no difference.

So I went to the closest exhaust shop and got them to cut the muffler out and weld a pipe on to make it dump above the diff. Was a bit loud right back where it was chopped, but is perfect noise level now sounds good, not too loud and I reckon it's quicker aswell.
Best $100 I have spent so far.

Do u get the didgeridoo noise now? Scared the shit outta me the first time haha

[ajh]

Yeah it's awesome I feel like im driving a diesel patrol. Can only here the didgeridoo when my window is down so it's at a good noise level that it doesn't irritate me. I'm just worried when I bother to get a proper exhaust It won't sound as good.

Where did you dump your pipe?

[benzo]

That's awsome mate! I did the same with mine for a while its really not that loud in the cab hey

[Loosey]

Do you hear the turbo whistle a lot more?

[ajh]

Do you hear the turbo whistle a lot more?

probably twice as much as before. I would recommend it to anyone. Best $100 mod I have done.

[ajh]

Flipped my towbar today to get a better departure angle. And raised my number plate by over an inch.

[benzo]

Thats the go mate, atleast 3 or more inches of clearance now, and its still rated haha

[ajh]

Over the weekend put a VRS winch in and also some light force 140's. Havnt wired the 140's in yet. And just waiting until I get some switches so I can mount the winch box in the engine bay and install in-cab winching switches.

Yea mine only does it at certain revs. I didn't dump it I should have though it finishes in the same place just took the muffler out. Hopefully have the full 3" kit soon

[D4D luxy]

Was it hard doing the towbar flip? Pretty keen!

[ajh]

Nah piss easy. If you have a Toyota tow bar start by snipping any cable ties that are attaching any wiring.

Undo the 3 bolts on each side of the tow bar, it won't drop out because there is a lip on the ends of the towbar that keeps it sitting in the brackets.

Undo the first 2 bolts that bolt the bracket to the chassis on each side then you will be able to pull it out.

Flip tow bar from side to side not back to front otherwise bolt holes won't line up..

Now just bolt it all back up.
