Good on you mate. I would find out if the Quadra lift is working at high speed as well. If not, I would rather wait for an OME lift kit, (and lockers and bars) when they become available. The other very necessary piece of equipment will be sway bar disconnects. Without it there will be very little wheel travel.
The new Nissan Patrol is tested in the latest Aus 4x4 mag and it works well off road with full IS because it has hydraulic dampers (rally car style) and no sway bars. Same with the LC200 with its hydraulic sway bar disconnects (Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS)).

Certainly will see what there is in terms of accessories, I guess it always take a few months for them to reach aus? The disconnects sound good. I like the KDDS and was seriously considering a prado but just couldnt justify the toyota tax.
I will get myself a set of offroad tyres, the dealers said they would sell me a set of the 18's but maybe 17's with MTs are a better option? I found a few pics on the web, with a few options.
The blue one has 255/75/17 BFG MT and the black one 275/65/18 BFG AT

Congratulations on your purchase, make sure you buy extended factory warranty, they're expensive beasts to repair out of warranty! -
Very nice, I would like one too!
Did you or has anyone else done any research as to the impact a suspension upgrade would have on the Quadra Lift System???

[QUOTE=johnv;1164633]make sure you buy extended factory warranty,
What does an extended warranty cost and actually cover out of interest?

Correct me if I'm wrong - same as what you currently have with Jeep Assist except it excludes batteries and a few minor things (wiper blades, globes etc)
I believe it is for an additional 70,000 Km 2 year.
Just waiting for them to send them my extended warranty offer over the next few months.
Cost is around $2,000 not cheap - a holed intercooler (not warranty, off road rock)cost me around $1,200 supplied and fitted 18 months ago!

From what I've seen on the US forums, 17's typically won't go over the brakes.

I am most interested how easy it is to live with the handbrake in the footwell, as in the WG at least there isn't much room there already, particularly if you are in the bush with boots on?
