Thread: RODS RODS RODS

The rods (using the off road hole) just push all the height selection up one. Normal is off road, off road is extended, etc.

I've never driven the car for any distance at normal height (access mode selected) as I leave the rods set (say at Fraser Is) for the week then once off the ferry, select the normal mode hole which takes maybe 60 seconds to do all 4 wheels.

All good I now understand that the 3rd setting is for emergencies only.....great

Just fitted Gordon's rods this past weekend. The last task before heading off to Cape York for 6 weeks. They are so easy to adjust once you get the originals off.

I am looking forward to that extra 50mm ride height once away from the black top.

I fitted the Mitch hitch, with the rods in extended mode(shorter) the base of the Mitch hitch sits 600mm above ground level, this will put the TVAN rear down about 100mm. Will post some picks once coupled and ready to go.

Hi Steve & herrblick,

It's been 6 months in planning, looking forward to the drive, scenery and people.

Heading of Wednesday, Melbourne to Dubbo, St George, 3-4 nights in Carnarvan Gorge, then head to Undara, Cairns where we meet three other vehicles to head to the cape on the 9th via Daintree and lakefield old Laura.

Regards

Only word of advice, plenty of silicon spray or even WD40 onto the originals before taking them off and when the GOE rods go on, get them nice and lubed for ease of changing. And simply enjoy!
