What did you do to your WK Grand today?

Not stock, that's the owner's addition. Clearance lights in the grille are a thing in the US - they call them Raptor Lights, after they were popularised by the F150 raptors. They're definitely bred a bit different over there.

Those leds would attract the Maroon roof top lights I think here .............

Upper ball joint is clamped not bolted to the steering knuckle, that would have to be an expensive mod I reckon, its not a small part at all, unless things changed in later models ????

Being ambers I think they'd be fine - I've seen few Rangers that have a saggy arse and CV angles that would make you cry running around with them...

Yeah ball joint won't be an easy fix, but I'm not sure if the setup on the 5-seat variants has been confirmed yet - although I imagine it would be the same. Could be offset and maybe flares (if someone makes them) are the way to go

After posting the WL yesterday I did some more digging and found a guy who runs 265/70/18 (32.6") on a 0 offset rim with only some minor trimming to the pinch weld. Apparently the camera's playing tricks and it sits flush with the guard.


Dropped mine at the dealer this morning to get the W58 and S51 recalls done - actually had a very pleasant experience with both the service and sales guys! I had a look at the WL demo they had there and was pretty impressed - definitely a different class of vehicle, but fit and finish is great. Looking forward to when the 5 seaters (specifically Trailhawk) get released here next year.

They were required on the raptors, because they're wider than allowed for a regular passenger vehicle. I forget the exact number, but they're slightly wider than a stock F150.

i cannot justify pushing $100K for a jeep . If i am going to drop $100K+ on a car it will be probably a defender . Deffo wont be a yota or nissan unless nissan actually give us the updated interior that the rest of the world gets

What were the before and after DPF soot percentages?

Mine did its speed run to Dans, 120km round trip mostly at 105, temps normal, have no idea of soot oven temps or anything as forgot, burn rate was 9.5l/100 so happy with it all.... really would like a pyro gauge on dash, using a phone app is a pain.... I do know its scary half a tank of juice is the same in dollars what a full tank was costing...
