so got up here a yesterday, had a good two and half hour drive down a sandy / gravel track was about the most fun ive ever had in my car!
120klm/h with the turbo whistling, and fish tailing for about 100klms, classic.
A couple of sections would have seen the bottom of the car propper rooted had i not had the desert spec suspension.
yew! pics soon (when i suss out my camera, not often have reception / internet available.)

pretty fun ride, just got back last night did a 15 hour drive straight through!!!
i took my tools, fuel, oil, 1 x spare tyre, 1 spare afm, 1 stock stock cross over pipe in case the fmic bottomed out / broke. I dropped the sump and changed 4 liters oil up and back too.
the new risen suspension was really good to ride on the road, sand and gravel, you can pump up to 150psi into the shock valve and lift the end by about 2.5"
the polarizers are the two carbon magnetic cells that clip over the fuel lines. they get a charge from the battery. my theory is that the charge changes the fuel molecules somewhat and helps it burn 100% of the fuel and produces less carbon and gives a better fuel ecconomy. I seem to be using about 10 or 11 liters per 100klm on the highway and about 20 or 22 liters per 100klms in town with the turbo whizzing..... so im not sure if its proven anything yet?

haha yeah its boss, was doing about 120 kph at one stage for 30 minutes up a straight track, so its good to feel pretty "at home" too.
im going to put on a different intercooler for more clearence, one that sits right behind the bull bar.
and locked minispool diff and some wider rear tyres needed a bit more traction, the lsd was doing all kinds of whack maneuvers at speed.
