Fitted my new exhaust up after work today forgot to get some pics while it was in the hoist! Noticed a bit of difference spools up quicker and feels slightly more responsive

Installed a turbo timer today got quoted by the auto sparky $180 and then found the turbo timer he was using was a shit eBay one and was trying to charge me 120 for it. I bought one from repco they retail for 120 but only cost me 20 I was surprised by how much they mark them up! Very simple to install aswell!

Fitted up my xrox bar today got it for free! Even got the bumper that was cut to suit it only 1 spring washer was missing super happy with the look and still can't believe it was free! I also removed my sr5 style flares as I didnt like the way the double sided tape held up and put some 65mm bush ranger flares on now I just need a lift and I'll be happy for now!

I was going to buy it then he hit a roo and said it was bent and I could have it free if I want I thought it would need a new wing but picked it up and there is a tiny dent on the top of the centre of the bar barely noticeable and doesnt affect the bar in anyway and he claimed a new one on insurance

So yesterday I painted the white bits behind the bar black and it looks so much better once the bar was on the front was sagged a bit so I ended up getting some strut spaces not a fan but for 150 for spacers and shackles untill I have enough for a rekon stage 2 kit no point buying a proper 2 inch kit

So haven't done much lately I've just had a clutch replaced under warranty with 12000km on the clock was pretty angry that it had to be done it was free but they dont exactly do a perfect job.
Any way I picked up a brand new tray yesterday and am swapping it over today hopefully
