    Sounds like a nice ute mate. Got any pics?
    Also how do you like the getrag? Have you had to replace a clutch yet :P I used to have one in my ute and when I went to replace the clutch I almost died with how much it costs haha.

    Did a little bit of maintenance today and grabbed a couple pics, pod haters don't burn me cause i know it sucks arse and how the law frowns upon them but it was on the car when i got it. I plan to go back to the std airbox and maybe some CAI very soon.

    POD is fine but its sorta usless when its not enclosed contact mace one here in the sponsers section he might be able to sell you just the box for it. Overall i like it just change those tail lights back to standard
