oh thats right never took a photo of the *** of the xf my bad, sorry keeping the one on the au not sure if its heavy duty. first up was the iridium spark plugs, runs like a dream, half way through putting my "fooley sick" sound system in which consists of 5" jbl kevlar? cone 55wrms splits and 6" jbl kevlar? cone 70wrms splits and a 750 sony xplode amp(needed an amp and it was cheap) having a little trouble with the wiring though... next up is lowering it, hard top, rims, possibly a special "tamed down harlequin" paint job, that'll be cheap as my brothers a spray painter.

Your ute is also remarkably similar to my sedan! Same colour, grille etc.. If mine was turned into a ute this is exactly what it would like!

Another member that came from X-series to AU ... I went from an XG S manual ... to an AUII XLS auto LPG model.
Manual AU's can only tow a maximum of 1200kg anyway Superroo .... so it'll be less than what you have already. There's a hell of a lot you can do to these utes .... just take a look at mine over the past 2 years .... it has changed remarkably. So many things to do to it ... and still many things yet to do to it. hee hee http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=33186

I have driven a manual dedicated LPG model ... and they do go better than the autos that's for sure ... much more flexibility in power delivery.
Auto is great for towing and load carrying though. I have the lights and nudge bar due to where I live though ... also intimidates taxi drivers when doing courier work ... and pedestrians as well ... hee hee. intake and exhaust mods will really open it up a bit more too ... even a cam upgrade will really make things interesting as well (as I just found out on mine).

exhaust is standard except for what i think is a straight through pipe in the rear muffler, has pretty meaty tone. yeah yeah i know you mean i don't really have any need for the spotties in keysie nor do i drive around all day so no need to intimidate people... except for tough revving peds... thats fun
