I like the shroud that came out very cool, the ramped corners will add alot of strength
Nice work

Hey Tom, where did you get the 3.5" bends from..? for the snorkel.. Been thinking of doing similar.. :mrgreen:

to get the extra 10 or so hp out of mine.. :roll:

also main reason is I have to go 6 point cage and need to move my snorkel.. :cry:

Posted: **Thu Feb 06, 2014 10:27 am**

Noice!! Thats exactly what i've been getting at..plenty of room between the airbox and filter which is what the zd30 box lacks!

Posted: **Thu Feb 06, 2014 10:27 am**

Don't what Tom does for bends but I just bought a 3.5" donut from Chase exhaust.
http://www.chase.co.nz/part/528/0/DN89X177
Roughly $120 from memory.

yep its quite good.

Definitely thought about it. Still havent got my head round how to makes it work. Thinking if I was to keep the lexan lid I'd have to make the box 2 piece to clamp the panel filter. .... or maybe clamp the panel filter with the lid :idea:

either way.
two piece like factory setup with clamp half way down the 'box'. window on top.
or make the lid as an insert to clamp the filter and fasten it at the top.

Hi Tom. Awesome work mate. Am building up a ln106 with lexus v8 at the moment. Are you doing anymore of those beadlock rings as would be interested in a set myself. Cheers Sam

Time for an update. :mrgreen:

My first Suzuki :shock:

Vitara diff swap on this little beasty. Apart from the mounts everything is factory Vitara

Posted: **Mon Feb 24, 2014 8:10 pm**

Then got back onto the Prado. It needed a brace between the coilover struts. So in true redneck fashion I got carried away :mrgreen:

There simply wasn't enough room under the bonnet so.............................. :mrgreen:

I'll post pics of the bonnet tomorrow night when I've finished hacking :wink:
