[tyler-k]

pyro and boost installed
chip soon
rear drawers have been removed /modified for cape york trip and refitted
i was very happy how the raptor lining is holding up

Great looking truck mate. What pillar pod did you use, and where did you get it from. It looks neat as. Gauges are close to the top of my list of things to do.

Cheers

pod and gauges were both from ebay
pod was $90ish
gauges were $230ish
gauges have audable(loud) alarms you preset
pyro is set at 600f
boost is set at 20

Thanks mate they sound the goods, happen to know the name or style of gauges? They would look good at night with the standard cluster.

Nice new rack and lights mate.

 

[sparra04]

thanks brad
hows your build going?
we have to catch up and have lunch

 

[LLadnar]

My builds on hold, not spending a shitload of money on the Titan swap if the autos shit.
Yeah we'll have to catch up, how's you back?

Looking great mate. I have the same boost gauge. Just make sure the plugs are pushed all the way in to stop it going crazy. Apart from that i love its super responsive. I'm hoping I can get one for a dual battery setup as I'vealready got a digital egt gauge.

2 am thismorning leaving work
let there be light
4x 100 watt narvas on roof
2x 70 watt hid roolights with a 8 inch led bar
love seeing where ime going
the roof spotties certainly help light up the side of the road

All you need now is a supply of kebab skewers for the skippies - hold 'em out the window, by the time you drive past they'll be perfectly cooked!

 

[sparra04]

i thought i could smell burning fur
i watched the volt meter all the way home and alt seems to handle the load
oohh and if it was you at the punt road roundabout,ime sorry,your sight should return shortly

I feel sorry for the next bastard that tries to high beam you, he will cop the "RETINA BURNERS" and may never regain 20/20 vision.

Hi Sparra the rear beam that you have may i ask what it is and the supplier
kind regards
John.

 

[sparra04]

today I got rid of the 4x100watt narvas on roof (bad voltage drop issues)
replaced with a 40'' lightbar @16000 lumens
on special at tigerz11
$555 with 5 yrs wty

coupled with the 70 watt hid roolights I should be able to see where i'me going

Does the bar cast weird shadows/light being that far back?

 

[sparra04]

Does the bar cast weird shadows/light being that far back?

not sure yet mate
the centre is a spot beam while both ends are spread beam
will take it out tonight and adjust ect
from what ive experienced with other light bars they throw so much light up close its not really an issue
not really intended for on road use, more suited to off road
will have to do a night run at muster and report back
cheers

 

[sparra04]

here are the night pics

low beam


high beam with lightbar



high beam with lightbar and hid's





very happy with light spread and combination
the light bar fills in the shadows and highlights everything

 

[nathand22]

Looks like you could light up the SCG with that set up mate! Nice!

 

[sparra04]

finally got around to fitting catch can
I extended inlet pipe to bottom of can, surrounded with stainless pot scrubber, then put a baffle in about 1/2 way
I had to relocate some wiring for 2nd batt and hid ballasts
as usial there is f/all room under hood
