Thread: Defender 110 lane change test

I should add the springs are actually 5" but at the moment truck sits 6" higher but that should go down a bit when it settles

Interesting, when I did mine it had to be loaded to the GVM but it doesnt look like yours was?

Mind you I also upgraded my GVM so that may have had something to do with it but I was told by my engineer that they needed to be done at GVM.

The Armageddon vehicle is a comin'!!!!

it was reasonably loaded with all tanks full, drawer system and tools but probably not at GVM which we have also upgraded. which GVM did they give you?

Out of interest, what did they upgrade the GVM to?

with the 35" and big lift only 3500 otherwise he would have gone higher.

We have been in the VHC for the past 5 days and Daves truck behaved as expected in various situations very happy with it will order my springs upon my return

3500kg but at that fully loaded with 33's and a 2" lift it only just made the lane change test at 100km/h and failed one of the brake tests. If another brake test was required there was no way it would have made it.

Knowing how mine reacted I am surprised an engineer would pass one with 35's and a 6" lift up to 3500kg.
