    Canning Stock Route good idea?

    Hi, been asked to join a tag along tour to CSR next year. Good idea or not in my 2010 TDV8 luxury sport? I know that I have to put better tyres on, and carry bulk fuel, but am good tetras packer, and will be in a group. I reckon we should do it. Thoughts?

    Do it -make sure you have LLAMs - will keep you up off the ground in the faster sections and will save the air compressor trying to pump you up and down.

    Garry, thanks for positive comments. I have the GOE rods for height adjustment, which should work for this. Concern for me with Llams is the amount of warranty still remaining, and fact that I am pretty sure that at some stage I will be hitting LR up for dynamic response roll bar issues. Hasn't happened yet but suspect it will at some point. And expensive if it does go wrong. So aim to keep the car looking "stock" as much as possible. Until warranty is no longer a consideration.

    Then just remove LLAMS - probably will take about as long as will take to remove your rods for that warranty claim.

    Good idea. Thought of it as something more "permanent" but if not sounds like a plan.

    Give it a go should be fantastic.
    How do you find the GOE rods?, are they easy fit?. I was just on their web site reading about them.

    Haha good question they arrived this week have yet to fit them. Pretty simple idea, once you locate where they go there is nothing too difficult. But, suspect that we will get dirty working on them. As per the instructions some spray silicone lubricant supposed to help.

    Ok if / when you get them on post how it goes.
    Good luck , but if you do the CSR I would think that the GOE rods or LLAMS would be wise.
    Cheers

    Agreed. I need to have better tyres, carry heaps of fuel, spares, some sort of suspension back up, hard liquor and some canned food. Perfect! The rest is just extra!

    Meccles & Tony,

    I have GOE rods and they take about 5-10 mins to fit the first time each wheel as the originals are hard to remove (easy to put back). Once fitted however, swapping them to standard position takes about a minute per wheel. They work a treat.

    Neil.
