Impressed. 712km home and 10.9 on the in dash. Truthfully it will be 11.4/100km. Still real impressed !

Not bad towing a tonne !

Thats good economy Matt considering the weight and aerodynamics you are pushing.

Great build to.

UPDATE: The SB is a good thing. I reckon exhaust is helping also. Actually, the car is going great and I am very happy. I plan to get it on the dyno at Deisel Care in Tammworth. Damo has advised me to get it dyno tuned and fine tuned correctly. So far I have just tuned it to setting four (I think) and it pulls well. The fuel economy seems to be not really effected, next tank will tell the story better.

Im currently getting 11.2L/100km, no camper. Are you turning it off going down hills Matt?

Adam your tyres would be good for 1-1.5 lts per 100 reckon.

I reckon you are right Rob.

Na, no roofrack yet. That will eat a litre extra per hundred km, easy as..

Been busy, sick of the friggin rattles from the back seat/cargo area. Have removed the rear seats and need to build a floor now and re-fit the cage..

But, no noises now and about a 40 odd kg weight reduction....

My adjustable sway bar links showed up today. They look pretty good. Superior Engineering don't even charge freight for any purchase over $100. My links were $205. I will fit them on Saturday Arvo.

Cant wait for the report. This just may be my next mod too.

Matt what have you done to want the adjustable sway bar links? My lift ended up around 60mm and I haven't had any issues.

Just want to correct my rear sway bar angle back to the factory angle.

I have read up on this subject in the 120 area, and understand the discussion with regards to rear wheel travel and shock absorber limits etc. I am happy with my purchase and will see if my Prado Handles better with the links installed and the angle corrected.

Let us know if they're noisy.

I shall D4D, they should be ok, they have a grease nipple and I think they will be pretty quite once greased.
