Hello all,
Firstly, thanks Stewart for all the effort you have put into providing this info for everybody.
I have a PX2 XLT fitted with a canopy and rack. Any mods I do need to allow for work and play. I'm a trady (refrigeration and air conditioning....taught by Gerry !) so need to allow for tools and camping gear.
I am awaiting delivery of my WiFi Dongle so I can start deleting as many bells and chimes as possible.
I have bought a second set of rims and fitted Falken AT3W tyres in 265/70 which I was very happy with on a recent trip up the Darling River Run and through to Coffs Harbour.
The rear suspension only has Iron Man Load Plus springs currently. I do highly recommend these for their adjustability. I had them wound up on the trip to Coffs but then I could back them off when I got home. I am interested to hear others experience with rear suspension as I would like to lift it but not sure if 0-300kg or constant 300kg springs would be best.
I have run a power supply to the tray with an anderson plug fitted. This allows for the second battery to be installed for camping duties but again, I can remove it when it's not needed.
Overall I love my first 4WD and look forward to sharing some info on mods plus other great info like camping spots etc.
Thanks for having me :D
