Nice, just like a swag only with more room

Pretty much! I've got a tonne of tents. When I worked at BCF, I'd spend more than half my pay at work haha. Good discounts though and I still get them because my best mate still works there friends with benefits haha.

How many kms do you both get to a tank?

I can easily get 1100 km,s out of my tank, but it's 125 litres. And being a older zd30 motor with a lift and big tyres and a tray it lowers my economy.

Depends if I'm going 110 on the hwys or 60 around town. 110 chews the diesel like no tomorrow. But usually about 700-800 ish ks

Yd25 motor in your nav gets a bit better economy than my older zd30.


Big tank is good if you keep it filled up, but jeez it breaks the bank if you don't fill it for 6 weeks

 

[d22dave]

Before the long range tank I would get about 650 with my mods and before my mods as stock as factory I could get 700 before the fuel light came on

I'd love a long range tank. I can imagine it'd cost some serious $$ to fill up though. Why is it that a lift lowers thr economy? Wind resistance? More drag?

I'm guessing a little more wind resistance, bigger tyres add a bit to it, plus my steel tray catches a bit more wind, there all insignificant on there own, but together they add up, in saying that I'm only 1to1.5 litres per hundred worse off than standard. And I'm running 32" tyres 2" lift steel bullbar and winch plus big driving lights and a light bar plus roof racks and a steel tray

Oh wow, you've got a bit dragging you down. What lift have you got?

 

[d22dave]

Just a 2" lift with new torsion bars, as I have a steel bar plus winch and dual battery's.
I went the cheaper end of the market and got a ironman kit with greasable shackles, a mate got me trade + sweetener for around $800. So that made my decision easy, but if I had to pay retail I was looking at the EFS kits

Ahh cool. I was looking at a tough dog 2". Still comparing and prcing though. I'll check EFS out.

I was looking on ebay last night and they were reasonable...surprisingly.
