Replaced the junk OME leaf spring front eye and shackle bushings with Nolathane will see how they go, only got around 30-40,000kms out of the OME before they started squeaking and clunking.

After not realising the Steinbauer module hadn’t been working for 12months or more, and at least diesalcare replacing it with a new in box module, I decided to go down the Safari Engineering Armax path, Bare in mind Steinbauer are still Bullet proof even though the issues was the plugs and loom, I just wanted something different. After speaking to a lot of end users the results are great

I have to admit the Safari module is honestly off the charts once is tuned to your rig , epic connections and looms and plugs IPF68 rating , torque and turbo spool up is honestly speaking off the charts

Fabulous mounting plate and stainless hardware overall a quality product.

I’d highly recommend safari engineering.

Hey Scratch, what sort of pricing for one of those fitted? Did you have to throw it on the Dyno?

Wasn’t cheap mate $2500 no dyno as it’s specially mapped to each vehicle based on snorkel , and all accessories INC exhaust , we did dyno it and it ran at 173 kw and 570 odd NM of torque , comes in 3 modes , sport , comfort and towing

The only bonus for me was Steinbauer sent me a new unit and I sold it almost immediately online.

Bit of a a clean and install new number plates after losing one on Adelaide Rd last weekend. Anyone in WA looking for a great and challenging track, check it out. We drive south to north, the last 4km took most of the second day.
