Setting up D4 with the lot!

I am very conscious of axle loadings and for this reason alone I have kept my D4 close to stock standard. No roof rack, but have added Traxide DBS and UHF radio. We tow a 2.6 T off-road caravan and carry an Engel, some tools and clothes in the D4 with only 150 kg up front (driver and 1 pax). The towball weight is about 260 kg and that, plus the Engel and full tank of fuel, takes us close to the rear axle limit of 1855 kg.

Would suggest checking out the Xlifter over the LLAMs system, have used both and my preference is the Xlifter for ease of use and easy for the wife to also see what settings are active.

If you have space in the passenger side rear compartment you could do this for a TJM compressor install Onboard Air compressor (aulro.com)

Also put the adapter plug for the mike between the drink holders same as Scott. Pretty neat over all.

Not sure what you’re talking about. My icom remote mic uhf is under the drivers seat quite happily. I’ve even fit my cellfi go under there too

If you have the good audio I believe you have an amplifier under there like I do that limits the space

Under my drivers seat there is a stereo amp, must be the upgraded system. I thought I could mount it to the top of that but turns out there isn’t enough room.

Is the Xlifter a straight forward install? It’s $990 compared to $550 for the LLAMS. Any other advantages besides the ease of use?

Thanks Dudela!

From what I understand, the x lifter will allow you to raise each wheel independently. A benefit of you sleep in the back of the car. Llams makes raising or lowering for any length of time easier. You can however do the same as llams from an iid, just less fast.
