If you don’t mind me asking, how much did this set you back? I’m thinking of getting the same setup. Thanks.

No probs at all. It was $2450. It’s all there in the ARB price list. Price could vary depending on what setup you go for and whether you have pentastar, hemi or diesel, but it should land around there somewhere

Hmmm. Will def have a look. My pentastar has done over 175k so might help the old girl a bit. Especially as we’re towing a heap lately. Would upgrade to something newer but TBH. There’s nothing out there that’s ticks the boxes. If the WL had a TDV6 then the order will be in.

In years gone by the diff additive was good when you were doing a lot of creek crossings kept the surfaces covered so condensation didn't get a start.

Took the drone out for a bit of a play today.
Had it follow me through the bush, wasn't sure if it would be able to or not as there is quite a few obstacles.
It was more experimental than anything So I took it slow about 10-15 km/h max and had the daughter hang out the window so she could warn me if it was going to hit a branch.
Set it on Activ Track and let it off, if you look you will see it detect the obstacles and move around them.

Thats rather cool, youtube page will now fill up with yobs yabbering on about duaghter hanging out of window I suppose.
