Today I say by to my Kakadu, traded in on a 200 series....

Cheers for everyone's help and following my build.... loved my Kakadu but need a stronger tow tug....

I even think the prado drives nicer, the 200 is a truck. We upgraded the caravan and had no choice.....

Over n Out!! Slips

I've been meaning to ask. Does the winch control box interfere with the Radar cruise?

Nope

I've also taken the Fuel Beast Wheels and KM2 Muddies - 285s off.

I'm back with the stock kakadu 18s & Bighorn mt764s. 275s....

I oved the look of the 285s

Just seeing if there is much difference in performance between the two setups...

I feel the gearing is noticeable.....

Fully extended... 615mm to 620mm maximum open length.

Slippery you have me worried now as I'm about to install the Bag's and carry over my MRR setup from my old car. Are you running the standard MRR shocks in the rear?

MRR All round...

Slippery,

PHs' post above refers to concerns over open shock length, but you say your bags have only popped with the van on. I'm running the same bags (and the same van as it happens) and have not had a problem yet fortunately. Is the bag failing on flat ground simply under the load of the van, or when you reach maximum droop? I don't imagine you'd ever be near maximum droop with the van on, yet surely the open shock length would only be an issue when approaching full droop?

What's your rear axle load on the weighbridge? Are you running a WDH to reduce rear axle load?

Hi Dave,

It's only a 170kg ball weight. Never had a issue with the Toyota airbags...

I went over the weigh bridge about 6 months ago and was well under the vehicles limits. The local weigh bridge has now closed down.

I received a defective product. Airbag Man just had a hard time believing that there product failed... I've got a new replacement bellows with new top and bottom seats.

I get caravan back on Monday and I"ll go for a drive and see what happens....

Helper bags shouldn't be connected to the onboard compressor because the airbags aren't the same type. Helper airbags should only be pumped using a hand/bicycle pump before the load is applied to the vehicle.

Emailed you....

Just waiting on tow truck should be able to talk around 4.30-5

Cheers

Just gone pop again !!! Coils it is ... how do I get my hands on them ?

With the helper bags can that work with the on board compressor?
