Thread: Setting up D4 with the lot!

Nice. I’ve ordered the Lllams. Not sleeping in the vehicle and the camper trailer has leveling airbags so we are all good there.

Thanks.

Thanks Dudela!

Fairly easy to install and takes less than an hour, easy to bypass if required for some reason.

The ability to see the digital read out at any time on the local display, with our Rhino roofrack and bike racks on top I need to ensure we are at the access level prior to entering our garage. As the wife can confirm the 0mm lift on the Xlifter display ensures we dont have an interference issue which would be expensive. There is an app however have not used it in anger however can see the easy trailer lift may come into use from time to time as some locations are not level when un/hitching.

Custom heights can also be set however have not needed them mostly use it for the sand at +55mm and on highways at -15mm.

Turns out mine doesn’t have an amp under the drivers seat. That explains my confusion my cellfi-go is mounted behind the uhf.

Ok I’m a little stuck.

I’m installing the LLAMS and I want to put the control knob in the position where Scott has it on the side of the steering wheel column but I can’t work out how to get it up there or how the plastic comes off. I took out the two screws on the column but still cant get it off.

Anyone got any pointers?

I just found a forum that describes how to get the column cover off, I missed that third screw down the back so hopefully that should do it!

Can't understand how anything could be easier than Llams to use. You simply rotate one knob. And what setting is selected is entirely visible as the indicator LED changes colour to indicate the setting.

This cover is 13/10 difficult to reinstall and start the screws. The front two screws do the job well enough.

Bit late to the party but heres my take for the average traveller that wants some of the better gear:

Prospeed front bar with hoop - gives you a winch mount, light mounts and a bit of additional frontal protection - all behind the standard bar so looks pretty nice.
For more serious use an ARB or equivalent - although a bit heavier

Rear wheel carrier - single only- RIjidij unit

Rear tank is a huge bonus if going long distances

Take 3rd row seats out to drop weight

Keep storage simple and light - draws are nice but heavy - so think about that
