raised 3"
Full uprated springs and shocks
Poly Bushed all the main areas
Down pipe and decat
EGR Blanking valve
Huge semi off road tyres
Loads of lights!

Certainly earned it's keep in the snow.

Do you have any future plans for it or are you keeping it as it?

not going to do anything major, i want to get it off the road for a week or two when the ticky is on the road so i can get under sealing it, fix both sun roofs, a window seal leak and a few other bits and bobs :D
its great for towing my trailer too, not fast but it gets there lol.

Its all relative. We only get 12mpg on average when towing with our rangie (4.6 v8 ) :shock:
Nice looking bus by the way crome.

My old Toyota Surf (diesel) only managed 24mpg on a run with me driving like a nun! I've no idea what it was like on my day to day drive but I suspect 'not good' would also apply!

Worth the benefit over a V8 is what I was wondering basically.
