    What if I get a 3 or 4 inch coil conversion or reset the standard eas to a higher setting???

    Nooooo! If you're seriously considering a coil conversion, a better idea is to sell the P38 to someone who appreciates the EAS and buy yourself a Disco 2 (non SLS) or Defender

    Certainly possible... with stock air springs, I'd go no more than 20-30mm taller than EAS High mode. If you replace them with Gen III air springs maybe 50mm. Remember, you want to have some travel in the springs to assist in articulation.
    When I am playing offroad, I like to keep my P38 in standard EAS height to allow for articulation. High mode is for clearing obstacles and water crossing.

    See my earlier post... I do run 33"s but I have a 50mm suspension lift... so does Range Rover Rogue.

    The Hard Range 2" lift kit is currently unavailable as we tweak the rear spacer design and height sensor extensions.

    Cheers
    Paul.

    I'll be getting the lift kit later this year (fingers very tightly crossed)!!

    And Paul, my alternator is still waiting on parts from Germany, about 1 month until they will arrive. I'll rip your one off and send it via my auto leccy uncle in Nowra for some TLC prior to sending it back to you mate!

    Cheers
    Keithy

    It's the $1,000,000 question at the moment

    not $1,000,000... we are aiming for sub-$500, including head and air-box connector piping. Up to customers to supply their own Sikaflex to seal the air-box or we could probably supply at cost... just adds weight to the shipment.

    The second RAI is still in test with another member of this forum.

    Andy is back from the NT mid-this week and will be getting more RAI's made up taking Captain's feedback in to account for the "final" model.

    Then we make up the fitting templates and write the instructions. Shipping is going to be a pain though... too big for Aust Post, so it will have to be pickup or via courier.

    End of the month looks promising... gods willing and the rivers don't rise

    BTW: this is supposed to be a Muddies thread.... FWIW I'm planning to put BFG KM2's on one of the P38's when I can afford it, might even drop down to 32" to avoid scrubbing altogether.

    Cheers, Paul.

    Put me at the top of the list paul! I didn't mind your RAI in the flesh - actually does not stick out like dogs bollocks as I first thought, however, if your making a pretty one i'll take it!

    As for the KM2's! I say do it! I would have gone 265/75's but not keen to trim guards as yet... Mine measure in at 30.3" according to the BF Goodrich site, and the front mudflaps are feeling it! But on the tar - oh my god! I had a wet emergency stop with 5ppl in the car the other day and they pulled up on a dime! Great impressions so far!

    Cheers
    Keithy

    OFF ROAD ONLY???

    What do you guys think of these for off road only use? THe price is sensational and the tread pattern is very much like a simex centipede... they are remoulds, but so were the mongrels that quite a few people swore by not so long ago.

    I am lucky enough to have an extra set of rims for dirty weekends, soi I am thinking why not give 'em a bash?
