Gvm upgrade gu iv wagon

[stevemc181]

Good morning.

A few of you have read that I’m in need of a GVM upgrade for my 2005 Patrol Wagon (4.2 TD)

I’ve been searching for places, found one who will upgrade to 3300. I was looking for 3500.

I have found that Pedders do one to 3500.

Has anyone here had a GVM upgrade done with Pedders and if so how did it turn out.

I had the pedders 3505kg GVM Upgade done prior to first registration on my 2016 LE GU CRD, I'm still running it today. It does the job, but its a pretty hard ride if not loaded. My rear diff was braced along with the rear coil towers as part of the GVM increase. It also had to be registered as a 5 seater and the larger cat 6 side indicators fitted. Keep in mind that once you do the upgrade you're stuck with using the same suspension.
I've attached a photo showing the rear diff bracing and axle capacities.
