  • Advice: Order of Mods or Upgrades

    I am looking to slowly upgrade my 2015 GXL. since $$$ don't grow on any of my trees, I'm looking for advice on a logical order to upgrade. I've already got a tradie rhino rack and I've setup a brake controller and Anderson plug for the in-laws caravan.

    I'm considering:
    • Bullbar
    • quality winch
    • 50mm suspension upgrade or whatever is required for weight of bullbar, etc
    • second battery & fridge, led lights
    • spot lights
    • CB (currently use handhelds which have limited range)
    • front recovery points (obviously done at the same time as bullbar)


    I'd like to install everything myself to save on costs. The first big trip planned is Fraser next year. obviously some upgrades will be handy before then. I'll also need to replace my factory treads soon as they're not going to last much beyond 40k kms.

    My pref is for quality product over cheap imitation.

    Any advice?

    Cheers,
    Mark

    If you go to a trade show (or perhaps this 1st April to ARB where everything you mention will be 15% off) then try and get a group deal. As you've rightly pointed out, Bull Bar and Recovery points go hand in hand. But then you have around 80kg's forward of the front wheels, which is really the point in time you want the suspension. I got an ARB Recovery point, Bull Bar, OME suspension (30mm/ 50mm - no difference in cost) and IPF Spotlights (which you don't need just yet) for $4200 fitted. Take around $600 from memory for the lights and fitting - you might get it for $3500. That's a Deluxe winch bar (not that I intend to fit one, but...). No doubt there are cheaper options out there though.

    Those three lead (Bar, Recovery point, Suspension) onto the rest of it (but noting it's a big hit first off). You then have a place for Spotties, a place for your UHF Antenna and LED light bar if that's what you mean. CB's a later job for sure - if you can wait for 6 months, get one at the Black Monday (Friday?) sale thing. But they can be pretty cheap in themselves - prestige.net.au is where I've always bought mine (as have others on here).

      if cash is a problem, the only thing you will 'need' from your list for Frasier is "second battery & fridge, led lights." and UHF
      for the front recovery points you can just use a recovery bridle to balance the load.

      if you are going during school holidays there are plenty of people around.

        I was told to get all the heavy mods done before doing any kind of suspension upgrade. Basically it should be your last big upgrade.

          Thanks for your thoughts. I didn't think I could do all the initial major mods (bullbar, suspension and recovery points) without some serious saving. nice to get some confirmation

            Mate like as many pages on Facebook as you can and wait for the sales.
            Get all the electronic brochure sales as well. You can unsubscribe once you have what you want.
