Maybe you should lend her your nappy if yours works so well.

actually i took mine off first, then my misses realised how much easier it's to get in and out and how much less dirt u get on ur pants and suddenly she's out there with the socket set (literally) taking off her sidestep. makes sense keeping them if u got cab racks i guess, I'm 6'4" so dont find it difficult anyway plus have the racks on my canopy so use the rear step2 access it.

I have no rear step. And it's suspension lifted and body lifted. Roof height is an issue. Haha.
Ill take them off when I get sliders. I'm just going to get them off at the leg.

Rembrandt is a great spotter. I'll just tie him to the bottom of the Nav

Is that the chip from overseas

Yeah mate, from the uk

 

[shan_b]

just ran some rough maths on the situation,
it seems on purely a financial situation, the chip would pay for itself in about 50,000K's
not too bad actually!

425GBP = 670AU
say diesel is $1.50 (as it is bound to go up)
670/1.5 = 450L (roughly)

fuel comsumption is currently 8.8L/100K so remove 10% = 7.92L/100. difference is .88L/100k
so for every 100k's I drive, i save .88L of fuel.
(450/.88)*100=51,137k's

Just my 2c and some food for thought, plus you still get the great performance increase
