    I recon the ride of ours is as good as or better than stock,also very flat on corners with KDSS as well.
    But like i have said before they are not racing cars,although sometimes SWMBO thinks it is.

    Running BFG A/T makes hitting the bumps a bit harder,same as with the D4 with same tyres.

    Although i recon the D4 was better,it has to be,EAS,IS on all corners.
    It sort of was like just floated along,which is actually dangerous at times,particularly on dirt as one can accidently end up going to fast.

    I’ve heard that a lot about them having issues.
    Wasn’t even on the radar.

    I’m currently receiving the components from overseas for the GVM / GCM upgrade. It goes to the engineer for inspection and sign-off in January.

    Once signed off it’ll be 4,500kg/8,000kg approved.

    I’ve already had confirmation that I can go to this, just need to complete the updates and final test report.
    A process and upgrade well worth it's own thread. If the engineer is keen, he may well see a few more people lining up to seek his signoff on upgrade...

    I am actually waiting for this one before I decide to sell the D4 and get something I can load up and still be legal with the van on. Hoping this will lead to a viable option
    best car I have ever owned by a loooong way but if it can’t make easier to keep technically legal with the rear axle it sadly has to go

    Some more luvin..

    IMG20251128180114.jpg Picked this up today after I scoured the interwebs when the penrite mobil shell oil selector guides didn't tell me much re the transfer case oil.

    So going by this forum and others seemed a choice of royal purple, ravenol or s-tec oil0005 and maybe some we don't have here.

    The guys down the local parts shop said they stopped selling grape juice as the racer crowd were going off it due to some concerns or other, they had nothing listed for transfer case, and I had rang Penrite and asked if they had a suitable but unlisted alternative and they said no.

    I did read somewhere that someone had used the Penrite BMV stuff but being a newbie to this clutch pack for transfer cases stuff I settled on the Ravenol as it seemed like the common choice and I could get it in Adelaide.

    I did see the Rock Oil stuff too but it was online only and seemed much of a muchness and once again local availability won out.

    Now who is going to chime in and tell me I screwed up, coz I'm not doing it till tomorrow so speak up now.

    Multiple trips to the dump with tree limbs that were broken off during the cyclone.

    10 degrees warmer today than Saturday last week and the apparent temperature nudged 40 for a period during the afternoon.
