Thread: LLAMS electronic height controller for D3/D4/RRS

Bobj you come onto this forum - you make assumptions about what Tote was talking about - he did not mention potholes at all but his comments were about clearances and then you insinuate he was bull****ting.

I know Tote and to give you information on one of the the specific clearance issues he had (he will correct me if I am wrong) but he was on Fraser Island which has lots of creek crossings on its wide open 120km of beach on its eastern side. The creeks cut channels through the sand that have 12" or higher drop offs. He raised his vehicle to offroad height as he was driving along the beach - with all the noise of the wind and surf he did not hear the gongs when it settled back to onroad height and with no visual reference he did not realise the vehicle had settled - when he went to drive through one of the creeks the rear of the car bottomed out on the drop off and ripped his rear bumper out - would most likely have cleared if at off road height.

Likewise, as mentioned there are plenty of other situations in Aust that offroad height is required above 50kph for extended periods so something like Llams or rods are needed.

By your attitude I don't think you would be a good community member on this forum so I suggest you hoof it off.

Cmon Guys,

Give Bobj a break, its not his fault his LR3 or LR4 hasnt seen anything bigger than a pot hole..

Once he gets it off the black top he may understand what you are talking about... Then again, his first post did suck.

Cheers Ean

.......on Fraser when you come to one of these drop off most drivers slow right down ie nearly stop especially if it's > 12 inches, look for a spot with least amount of drop off, check to the car is ready to negotiate the drop off and drove across at a slight angle to reduce the chance of the rear end bottoming out......even hopping and and pushing sand away with your feet makes the crossing easier

Anyways non of these posts are helping the vendor or the section

Not saying the device does not work.

Is this a womens club or guys?

manners?

No, not a woman's club, but generally a well mannered, friendly forum that obviously doesn't take too well to posts like yours. By all means, feel free to voice your opinions, but please do it in a way that isn't going to alienate you from the rest of the community here.

This isn't a Toyota forum you know...

I consider this small increase in height and therefore shock bump travel a very under-rated feature that until its used in situations like this, one could question the relevance of it. Much better for the occupants and presumably for the vehicle too.

Hi there. Has anyone done this install themselves? The instructions seem quite good, just wondering if anyone has any tips?

This system seems much better than the adjustable height sensor rods.

Cheers

sorry just answered my own question. new to the site and had a little trouble navigating, all good now

Did you see the links to Rich's detailed installation instructions with lots of pictures?
