Always keen Trav, just a matter of being in Oz at the time, spend most of my time international these days, had the Tri for just under 3 years now and done less than 15k.

Very nice indeed. 
Tub chop, front mount and diff drop. Great combo
That is a great image. It really shows the travel in particular the droop that's achievable with this kit.
What is the hub to flare lip measurement on the front?

Haha you've got pretty much the same combo, how do you like your intercooler? So far I've seen a huge improvement on my air intake temps.
The droop is pretty good, height with that photo was 600, and full droop after its settled is 665. Handles great off-road to.

Where did you get the cooler from ?
Thinking of doing it to my car one day after i get suspension sorted, just looking at buying the MRR kit or the Monster rides kit , i may go the Monster rides as i seen a few people mention its 1595…
As for the diff drop was it pretty easy to put in on your own ? Cv's look to be on a decent angle at that hub to guard height,
Looks like they're the go !

Intercooler looks like http://www.crosscountry4x4.com.au/4wd-i ... olers.html
MR at $1595 is struts and rear shocks. Leaf springs are extra.

Cooler was from cross country, and as l200 quoted the monster rides gear is 1595 for shocks and coils, for a full kit around 2200. The diff Drop was alright to install. I've had the front diff out and done a few suspension installs so Was straight forward except for getting the axle out. Will let everyone know how the cooler goes. So far temps are sitting around 55 max where as on the stock cooler 86 was the average and peaked in the low hundreds under heavy load.
Cheers

Ha yes mate.
The IC has been working out well. I've found it keeps the inlet temps about 30 degrees above ambient. The stock inlet temps were way above that at times from 60 to 70 degrees above. Sure you don't get the detonation problems you face with a petrol motor from high inlet temps, yet your power doesn't drop off either. The motor seems more consistent now. From my understanding they're now offering a thermo fan option to the IC also.
On a side note I found there was no noticeable increase in turbo lag from going to the larger unit.
One day your life will flash before your eyes. Will it be a good show ???
