Back to the rods.

Got mine today, so decided to install them tonight. Have to say the OE rods don't come off easily, albeit I did it without taking the wheels off. It was also confusing as to which fuse was for the EAS module, as the fuse list did not relate at all to what was there, so ended up pulling both 20A fuse. Luckily the suspension didn't move whilst crawling under the car to do the rear rods.

There is more play with the GOE rods, as the rubber bush is not as wide as the OE part, but it means it can be taken off and changed much more easily, certainly under the 3 seconds.

Interestingly the suspension did not lower to normal after putting the fuse back in; someone said theirs did.

Now awaiting the GOE bash plates, then ready for some off-road runs.

Had you put it at offroad height before you changed the rods ? Gives you a bit more room to work. If you left it at normal height, and installed the GOE rods on the longer setting, then there will be no change in height when you reinstall the fuses, likewise of you had put it in offroad height.

The fuse is the 20 amp one, third one back on the passenger side.

With the RRC membership you can also nominate a direct family member (wife, son, daughter etc) who also gets a membership included in the one fee.

Personally I think the club is well worth joining and they provide some excellent courses as part of the membership fee.

Most certainly did put it into offroad height; otherwise no room to work as I didn't take the wheels off. But I have had a look under those area whilst installing mudflaps (which are hopefully more flexible than OE ones).

Thanks for the heads up on the fuse; how does their numbering system work?

Thanks for the heads up on the fuse; how does their numbering system work? Fuse box next to battery. If you are looking at the fuse box from the passenger side, its the closest bank to you and third from the front. On the cover it shows you a pick of the suspension with an arrow.

I am just waiting for mine to arrive, I paid for them last week so I am assuming they be in soon, then on they will go. Looking forward to getting them on.

Did some fun off road stuff this past weekend, including a couple of river crossings and some rock crawls. I just love it off road, and can't wait to have it stay at off road height above 50kph! The auto lowering is pretty frustrating.

You won't regret it they are a fantastic piece of kit allowing flexibility for the terrain you are experiencing. Cheapest lift kit I've ever bought!

Change over is very easy less than 5 seconds per wheel when used to it.

When I take the RRS to the beach with rods adjusted but in normal height I.e. off road but can do more than 50kph I just point and shoot and the rangie will go up pretty much any dune it is pointed at and I get very pleasing looks/ respect from other marques observing the rangie in action.

Well done Gordon for a simple but very effective piece of off road kit.

Cheers
Mike
