Leave the matting off. it looks crap anyways.

@Mr Polson

I prefer the look of the XG unless the XH is an XR6 or 8. Either way they are both equally as nice to drive.

So i settled on a set of Proflow tuned headers only to be told they dont make them anymore, despite still being offered on the website. Im still thinking i might take achance on the stainless ones as above and see how they fair.

Yeah i ahve insulated everything round the current headers with heat proofing. The floor used to get mega hot before i put in the sound deadner shit.

Are you running a manual or auto Dave?

Yuck Yuck and Yuck

Im not sure how close the XG and Xd are aligned with gearbox linkages etc being different trans and motor. Basically i replaced the entire steering column with an adjustable XH column so i didnt have the gear selector on the column present. I removed all the linkages form the column change from the steering column right down to the box. The box for column and floor change are the same in the xg so i used an AU fairmont gear selector to actuate the gear select on the trans. I sourced a trans shifter hump and just started cutting the floor in the ute until i had removed enough to get clearance for the shifter to operate without removing to much metal. Screwed in the shifter hump and connected up the linkage. All up took about 3 hours to complete. Wasnt very hard but everything just fitted which was nice for a change.

I did it on an XG cause column shift sux

Cheers Searly, ill follow it up!

Just diff with calipers, possibly tailshaft for yoke and handbrake cable.

Should have a 327 lsd if its a longreach i believe. i would be interesred!
