Dear Turist,
We have been trying since we joined the group in 20/12/03 to chat on the open
Forum without success ( not very familiar with group chatting and
computers)
So decided to try contacting the chatter who seems to
try keeping the others in order.
We live in Newcastle and have a GU Patrol 4.2 Turbo
2002 pulling a fully fitted out 16 ft.
Bushtracker weighing 2.1 tonnes empty.
Last year we spent 3 months in Queensland with the BT
attached, plus 3 months on Cape York without the van ( left it at Port
Douglas)
The Patrol performed quite well without the van but was
very slack when we wandered up and down the Great Dividing Range.
We intend leaving again in early May to travel around
Australia and occasionly leave the BT so that we can go into the real backblocks
as we did on Cape York.
We would like to get a bit more KW and torque so that
we can pass a few ' 27 Chevs on some of the outback long straights.
No doubt this has come up for discussion on the
forum
at some time but we have not seen it.
Our questions are;
Is it better to just have it tuned or
Tuned plus enlarged exhaust or
Tuned plus enlarged exhaust plus enlarged rotor via
MTQ
Have any of the Boggers had any experience in this
field ?
Any experience with Aussie Tow Mate device that
indicates on the dash when a tyre is going down?
For the person going to Cape York....If you want to see
the beauties of the Cape it is far better to leave it somewhere south of
Daintree and really enjoy the place.
We enjoy the
forum and hope to be able to chat in the
near future but haven't much time left to decide what alterations are necessary
to pass that '27 Chev.
Kind Regards KIRKO
