Hi sorrieboutdat here from Brisbane Australia
im new to the 4by scene and to this site
i have a 06 kia sorento my 07 ex sport 3.5 l v6 5 speed auto with 4hi and 4lo
its black with black/red and tan leather interior,we have fitted a bullbar,driving lights,gme tx4500 uhf radio,a rear tow bar and a fairly solid rear step,it will have hema nave soon linked to a laptop and google earth as we plan to do some touring around the australian outback.
i have some build up plans to toughen up the sorrie but have come up against it here as no one does any tuff bits here no one rate them to be capable.
plan: old man emu 2-3" lift medium duty, i would have preferd a winch bar rated to around 10000lb but no one does them here, fit twin fuel tanks at 21.1 gal each,pull the spare out from underneath and fit twin swing aways, with the ability to carry 2 jerry cans one each side and 4 maxx tracks 2 each side,fill the space underneath with a 30 gal water blader internal fill covered with a bash plate so that its protected from underneath,bash plates also up front to protect raidiator,sump,box sump and transfer case.taller profile tyres to get a bigger foot print on the sand,mud and better grip on rougher terrain,id also like to fit air lockers or locking hubs and diff covers.
other mods that i would like to do is to do an engine to just make it hang together a bit tougher and then supercharge and chip it to extract more torque and of course hp. then finish it off with either a roof top tent or an offroad camper, and a set of drawes up the back and a swing out mini 3 burner cooker and fridge.
so if any one has any other info or ideas i'd love to hear or see them.
regards
sorrieboutdat
