Hi all,
I've just posted our old 2006 GX D4D 6-speed in the For Sale section, and here's the first build post for the new addition.
First up I used the great instructions on this site to remove the roof rails and fit Rola 3-bar Heavy Duty Racks (part CGM16-3) that I bought cheap on eBay. Same as we had on the 120, so all the accessories will be carried over. I departed slightly from the install instructions and only used a single height adjuster on the rear-most bar, and none on the other two. The three bars are to all intents level, and I saved a little height overall with a better look IMO.
Also, removed the Grandtreks and put them on the 120, replaced with BFG 265x65x17s. Comparing to the 265x70x17 Cooper ST's that we had on the 120 the first impressions are good. A different tyre for sure, and a bit of a compromise, but I like them.
Next up is a trip to ARB, and a Dig-options unit to install. Again, same as the 120. There is a theme developing......
Cheers,
Rob
