Haha, you gotta watch those pelicans...LALALA

The snorkel is actually about inline with the roof but the photos show it as way above. Must have been how I took them from below the roof,,,hmm or this trick photography of mine...LOL

Yeah, mighty close mate, probably have about 120mm spare so my roof racks have to go on outside. Funny thing though, my last GU was 2" lift and I was able to drive in/out with the roof bars on. Now with the TJM 2" I can't. It looks closer to 3-4" lift. I hope it settles a lot more!!!!

Looking good there Kris. They just don't make sheds as they should!! We just fit in ours but put the roof top tent on and the Troll has to live outside!

We don't fit in any shopping centre car parks any more either. Made that mistake once!

Loveday will be a great for you to test her out. Hope to see lots of pics.

Would have been funny if you put the roof bars on in the shed then couldn't get the Troll out!! hahaha - NOT!!

Great looking Patrol!

I took one for a test drive today and love it!

Does anyone have any more news on the possibilty of lift / bigger tyres affecting the Stability Control?

I really want to get one but need to know i can safely lift it and put bigger tyres.

Yes, they are very nice to drive.

Personally I haven't noticed any issues with Stability Control and 2" lift. Not sure how it would affect higher lift though.
I've tried to engage VDC but I must be soft as I haven't managed to do it yet. Maybe it will be easier on dirt...lol

Also F40, jump into the introduction section ans say G'day and tell us about yourself.
