05 A/T 2" trailmaster, 235/75

Tidy truck conversion looks factory

Its got much more torque, and suits the automatic quite nice. Before I had to shift manually to 3rd gear on hills etc. But now I can add a little trottle, it drops out of lockup and I still have the power to take the hills. With the M13A I had to press the pedal t the floor to make anything happen if I did not gear manually. So instead of applying trottle, I shifted up and down :laugh: much more torque off idle as well


I used the M13A intake, exhaust (welded a crack between cyl 1 and 2), sump, pickup etc. So it looks exactly like stock

I have some pics from the swap, Ill post them with comments a bit later

Painted the stock rims White. Dont have the flaps on as I have tried to get the MPG up. Im avarage 8.2 liter/kilometer. not too bad, been down to 7.6 liter/kilometer

Looking pretty good. I think at some point I have to find a bigger engine too. Still hoping I will find a cheap Vitara 1.6l one day.....

You have the g13bb in yours?

those alloys look pretty good painted white
mine are well blistered and bubbled and on the list to be done (but it's a long list) :whistle:
think I'll go for a dark colour or possibly khaki
