Depending on how the vehicle is used there is potential for needing them more often. I don't "touch park" etc so I seem to to get a longer run.
Fitted mine yesterday=D Gone from looking like a car to an actual 4x4! Not that bad without the white writing, still would have preferred it.
Just so you could find it again after washing the mud off? :angel:Quote:

P.s Anaconda has 20% off Waeco... Wallet emptying fast...
Looks good...
On a side note:
When I had the latest D697s fitted they were balanced conventionally using steel stick on weights.
Over time a few had been flicked off, lost etc so I decided to try ABC Balancing beads...
Great concept, and several locals have used them in normal road vehicles and trucks with great success.. On the D4 it resulted in a continual shimmy.
Well... Today we spent an hour removing the wheels, vacuuming out the beads, refitting the tyres and dynamic balancing with steel wheel weights... [emoji41]
Took it out on a private road and not a shake or vibration up to a steady $1.60.
But it was worth a try..
Good to know thanks.Quote:

However, I'd forgotten that I had the wheels rebalanced and realigned after the original fitment was a bit average.
It's something worth keeping an eye on ....

I think it's definitely lost some acceleration Andy. Thing is they're that quick for a large 4x4 that it's not going to bother me. Will use this one 90% for touring/day trips anyway. If it was a daily i might be more disheartened...
Nice one Tombie, I was a bit annoyed when I saw those on instead of stick ons, now not so much.
Haven't attempted puting the spare under yet.https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...016/06/277.jpg
