Hi Tinus thanks jip must say it goes well, on my brave days I've take it to 1seventy on the speed and once to 1eighty before.
My pump was built in pta but I've done the tickling part, and turbo built in the cape. All else I've done from scratch and reading.
The dyno was done at the coast but I'd love to do it up in pta one day on a dyno used by most members so I can get a reading to confirm.
But I tell u wat I lose traction up to 4th on th gravel road.
I got th truck at 140k km and started modding 2.5 years ago now has 240k so, so far so good.

Hi Sjc
The spring pack is just curled up a hel of a lot and lengthened by about 40mm with extra long shackles and custom shocks. The prop shaft is reversed to allow for the extra lift. It is not the idea setup at all, bouncy wen empty but wat a pleasure wen u load a ton.
I have plans just need the time now but I'll be puting in coils and leaving only 3 or so blades so as to have the same lift but more comfort and flex. I'll take pics wen I do so.
