Mate, I am interested why you put a long range fuel tank in, for the extra 46 litres (and extra weight, I am assuming you are going to upgrade your suspension), what was the cost?
My SX gives around 9-10litres / 100 when in the bush (better than that on the highway), so the standard 87 litre tank = a range of around 800-900km.
cheers
Simon

As for suspension I am going to do that. It will be the last mod I do. That way I can roll in go here it is and this is all the junk I have. Please raise it three inches.
Hope this helps?

Hey Sol given you have a tow bar perhaps the hitch mount winch cradle from Tigerz11 is an option?

Hey Sol,
I've also got the Genisis 50W HID which I find are extremely good.
I dont use any filters because when I use them with the Std High Beam, I find that the spread from that is sufficient.
From the pic, you will probably find you may have to point them up a little higher to get you further down the road, and also a little less glare off the road itself.
Great Build Sol,
Cheers,

SOL,
I have the Genisis 50w HID on my SX with the clear combo lens on both and they are great. The only thing is that when you dip the lights to low beam, it looks and feels like you are in the dark for a second or so until your eyes adjust. My son has the blue combo lens on his Genisis and he likes them also.

Gents, Thanks for the replies.
Brother is doing a run to Albury on Wednesday and will set the lights up whilst out in the open. He is also going to check the trip computer to fuel usage ratio to see if we need to get it recalibrated to the larger tank.

Tell Pete to pull off that Mazda sticker, wouldn't want to give the shorty a complex now!
These are the first time I had seen the rear and that their was stickers on their. So yes they will be coming off. It was my plan to get a Prado point one and put it on. But was debating on the side windows or the rear door?
