Whilst off-road mode cancels at 50kph, it cannot be selected if travelling faster than 35kph and even then the height change will not occur during significant deceleration. Often by the time you have slowed the vehicle to less than 35kph, found the raise switch without looking at it, are no longer braking and have waited for the vehicle to raise to off-road height, you are in the middle of that rough patch or hidden rough little creek crossing - too late! The extra suspension travel afforded by even +30mm greatly reduces the incidence of bashing the bump-stops, which apart from the improvement in occupant comfort, is going to improve the longevity of the vehicle. Repeated attempts to raise to off-road height soon results in the compressor having to cool. Its much better to travel those roads and tracks with a semi-permanent 30-50mm lift, which was the reason for developing the Llams unit.

So, is this the same D4 that I saw yesterday, whilst we were both stuck in traffic on the hill by Adelaide Oval?

If so, then very nice car. Externally, the mods are subtle, and dont distract from the overall appearance at all.

Ha! Yes, that was me! Small world - I did note the kitted out D2! Both cars look Significantly better than the Australian cricket team.......
cheers

we are back from two weeks in the Vic High Country - LLAMS was brilliant!
Other 4wd's were agog at the "lift kit' we had!!!
Really REALLY impressive - if you are a serious off roader (read: like challenging 4wding in your D3 or 4 or RRS) and you dont buy this you are mad - it transforms the car and what it can do!!
Thanks Graeme - you have improved an already brilliant car !

And some report comments on the 19" MTRs - please!

**CSBrisie** · 10th January 2011, 09:40 PM

Yes, thats a Warn 9500XP winch with genuine LR winch kit (ex a dealer in the UK, shipped to my door). Fitted in Adelaide by Sovereign Autos. Not needed this trip

The tyres were fantastic. In Bright we learnt another Stornoway Grey D4 has been through (service station) week before with MTR's and had done all the tough tracks at 22psi so we copied him and had no issues whatsoever on all the rocky / muddy tracks and river crossings etc. No chips, issues at all. Perfect. I'm really pleased I went with this combination now - having a second set of rims is a bit of a luxury (2nd hand RRS rim sfrom Barbagallo Tyres in Perth, WA) but nice to have!

Apologies if this has been already covered in other posts (but the threads grow so quickly):

Do the MTRs fit in the space for the spare?

Cheers,

Kev.

Yes, MTRs fit just fine in the spare compartment. I've had one there in both a D3 and D4 for years (not the same tyre).
