If you're interested here is my procedure. Older model Terrano, but you get the idea: http://www.offroadexpress.co.nz/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=29240 Just some notes for you doing this.... - Don't go to high with the standard IFS or your angles for the steering, CVs etc will be very bad...

Did I mention how warm and sunny it was??? Oh yeah I did :lol

Gees, just returned from my business trip over your way last week (Windsor, Gosport) Could it get any colder. Forgot how bad it can get there. Glad I'm back to the nice warm sun again. :thumbs

:lol You just reminded me a mate of mine has as his signature.... Lift your truck.....fat chicks can't jump :lol

Then you can throw a nice lightbar on it....

Yeah a custom bar would be the way you want to go. Mine didn't end up that expensive when you compare it to replacing the bumber. I was tired of smashing the front bumper so got a custom one.

Setup one of these.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgx1hc5GikU

Good VERY important point. Last thing you want to do is have a meltdown.

OK, so let it be. It was either fabricate a complete manifold from scratch, or modify another. I prefer to modify. I call it recycling, good for the planet :lol I just need to make sure the weld will stick to cast iron ok. I'll be in the UK all next week, so will get onto it upon my return...

What engines are you guys running, the TD27eti ? If so, anyone got a good picture of the exhaust manifold for one?

Well all I can say is that 18psi is safe. Start sitting above 20 too long and the turbo gets eaten. Really need to have a better dump pipe and exhaust to make it work efficiently. I guess its really how long you sit at full boost. I free-spooled mine for a little while, but watching the boost...

Bloody electric rubbish :doh I keep forgetting, my truck is 22 years old, basic and mechanical.....perfect!

And stops all that mud being splattered around the engine bay. I just switch mine off not, fly through the mud and water and then back on again. Never had an engine bay looking so good after a trip :lol

I've been seriously thinking about the options here. So once I sort out the new exhaust manifold I'll be going with a straight top mount intercooler with fan. Was going to do water-to-air but like to keep water well away from the intake. Especially in a diesel. Plus the benefits didn't justify...

Cheers guys Yeah we moved back after our daughters were born. So we could bring the kids up with family around them. Those tyres are Maxxis Bighorn MT762 32 x 11.5 x 15. You will find the actual 'true' diameter varies slightly between manufacturers. A mate of mine has the same truck, but 2door...

TD42 Turbo manifold:

Out of interest, anyone got any pics of the later model TD27 exhaust manifold? Just trying to work out a better flow option before I start slicing something up. TD27 Turbo manifold:

Not sure if the models are the same, but here is what I did... 1) Remove bottom section of radiator cowling. This will allow the radiator to move up with the body while the viscous fan stays in the same position. 2) Remove driveshaft loop. This will stop you lifting because it is bolted to the...

Cheers Mick, yeah she's taken a bit of work to get there. Latest interesting mod was cutting the viscous fan off the water pump shaft and installing a twin electric fan setup...that was fun :-)

Hahaha, sorry just worked out the dating for the posts. Was a while back :o Not certain about your model, but my 32's ever so slightly touch when turning lock to lock. Has a 2" body and 2" suspension lift. Didn't want to trim the guards and I can go pretty much anywhere, so I'm happy. Even...
