The 24hrs before the ute was written off i installed the new intercooler hard pipe in place of the stock rubber one, so here are the pics

I must ask, in the all of 24 hours that you had it fitted was it worth it, i do apologize

I know right, it is a shocker but i hadnt had a chance to give under the hood a proper clean since the previous weekends trip.

Well even though i only had it on for a day i did get to do about 4hrs worth of driving with it and in a few different conditions form a cool 12' degree morning to a hot 34' degree arvo and both in and out of 4x4 so it got a half decent test and enough of a test for me to decide that if i do end up with another D40 i would buy another hard pipe straight off the bat, not massive amount of change but it was there none the less and most importantly since i had split one of the rubber ones already it gives me piece of mind that i wont have to wrap it up in a coke can and a roll of duct tape while im 500km away from home like i did the last one after it split in the bush.

So in short yes it was worth it.

well done on the dint mate
looks like a new guard
those light bars are great, I love mine
reading through the specs it states its quakeproof??

Maybe they are Quake proof after all??????? It did survive the smash when nothing else on the front end did including the chassis
