Thread: P38 Coil Suspension Conversion

That is the point we bought the most capable off road vehicle and i am proud of it i managed 9th in the recent Alpine challenge with a two inch lift and 33" tires out of forty vehicles the rest were comp trucks i am wraped we made it. Let alone got a place i was trying to stir some faith in the Range Rover that couldn't due to computers and too bloody sophisticated as compared with Comp NISSANS AND TOYMOTORS There was a shorty ninety driven by Andrew from HILINE Traralgon who manged a second i believe it had four hundred K"S on it at the start and it just went did amazing thing's i was more than happy with the Rangger she did it hard i have virtually no clear coat left but it never faulted. To do the Barclay river Jeep track after the fires is hell let alone the rest of the trip 350KM's and no letup was a trip of a lifetime the trip was well organized and fully catered i am in for next year but one of the other guys is driving his car so i will be either a passenger or a navigator. I believe the Range Rover P38 on a good day is the best off road vehicle to date without all the bull**** electronics that we see and pay for in the rest of the field.
Love my Rangger

I run a P38 on tracks all over Tassie, and am running the EAS system and since I replaced a of a faulty height sensor about 2 years ago it hasn't put a tyre wrong.
I replaced the airbags standard airbags with Gen 111 Arnotts about 18 months back to get the increased length and softer ride at full height. I have changed the height settings at off road height to gain approach and departure angle improvement but as Paulp38a says, the standard height is the one for best articulation. A set of Bighorn 265/75's makes it a very capable offroader.
For on road use it runs Toyo open country all terrains in 255/65 which are quiet and give better fuel economy. On a recent trip from Hobart to Smithton and return the fuel consumption was 13.2l/100k mostly sitting on 110k's.
I think I get the best of both worlds this way because on highway height with the firm ride that the Arnotts give at that height, the handling is excellent.
This vehicle has done 268000k's and is origional. But it is very well maintained.
