    Can I get some info on the cases that you have on your roof rack. I'm looking to buy some soon and I haven't seen those before. Look like they would work for me. Thanks

    I'm thinking of a tray (flat bed), once it dries out the shell will come off for the summer.

    I was in Australia last year. The flat bed is VERY popular there. In fact they have camper shells that are made for them. A VERY versatile way to go for an expo rig. I can't imagine all the possible configurations you can come up with. If you do go that way...I can't wait to see it.

    The Generals are great, a little more noise than the BFG's but a great solid road feel. I have used them a bit off road and they have worked very well. I'm going to do some more research on the "ute" beds and make a decision.

    did you have to reflash the ecu in your truck after the install of the snorkel? the reason i ask is i have had mine in for a little under 2 weeks and since i removed that crazy resonator from behind the front fender i was just curious.

    i was told that my combo of less restrictive exhaust filter snorkel evened things out enough for the ecu to compensate. just thought i would ask you because i believe that we are now some of the only guys on here that snorkeled a 4 banger.

    Went up to Demello's this morning and swapped out the prototype bumper for the production model. Here are a few pictures(cell phone). I'll get some better ones once I get all my stuff re-mounted. For some reason the front picture makes it look giant, it's not and has great lines as the other ones did. Thanks Jason.

    Ran the truck through some big holes and no contact or noise issues. Demello has done a great job on making a great bumper.
