  1. No shame in that Choliver. I hoped to peek at mine through a fence too... Really happy with mine and it's come in handy enough times now even the wife thinks it was a good idea!

    Towing

    Self/Load levelling = dunno. I'm thinking the HD bar bolts up to the chassis rails in such a way as to spread the load toward the axle. Rather than just hang off the back of the car lioke a regular towbar would. The stock rear shocks in the ute must be designed to cater for various load too huh? I mean they're gunna bottom out of you put a heap of weight in the tray but they must 'level' somehow for regular loads? I'll get the trailer first and see how it sits level wise. Most car trailers seem to have lower ball height I've noticed. Thanks for the responses guys.

    Towing

    I bought my FG XR6T with towing in mind. Car and trailer to be towed would be tick over 2000kg. A few noob questions for those with Utes & towing if you guys don't mind: I have the Hayman Reece HD tow bar fitted. I think it said something about self levelling. Sound right? What's it do? Lowering. Anyone lowered and towing my sorta weight? Dont want to go super low. Looking at Pedders springs and reverse eye leafs. Shocks - should I do now too? Trailer brakes. I'm looking at Tilta Trailer out of Qld. They have electric drum brakes. Are these controlled simply from the 9 pin connector or is there additional equipment I need to fit in the car? Thanks in advance
  4. FG. I'm thinking it needs lowering sooner rather than later. Not much point getting dealer fix then....
  5. My RR rubs on the rail on the inside. Hooked up a trailer and discovered the rub marks after towing it :^( Off to dealer next week...
  6. Herrod - anyone runnning these? Sorry tiny pic.

    I'll show you mine 2012 FG2 XR6T Auto.
  8. This could be the best thread on the entire site! Thanks to you Worm for trying to fit every goddamn wheel and tyre combination known to man and putting up pictures for everyone. You are a legend! My spanking XR6T Ute has to live outside in suburban Sincity at the moment. Whilst new wheels aren't on the agenda for me right now, I friggin love this thread!
  9. Haha pics yes. Raining here today. Will post some promise! Took it for a spin at lunch to get fuel. Nice wall of power comes on at even 3/4 throttle. A gut full of 98 should help. I'm impressed by the standard inclusions and the fit / finish. Great bluetooth, iThing connection, USB (what file types will it play off the USB?), climate air, touch screen looks the beans. Even the sound systenm sounds OK. Wheezy exhaust has to be on the list for replacement after suspension. I've booked Brant for an alarm and reverse sensors next week. Suspension on the next Saturday Castle Hill can do it. I want to get it run in and past any warranty issues before going with power upgrade type mods. Happy days!
  10. I'd bet with sales levels they've reduced PD to one guy :^( Anyway, not long to go...
  11. Mine arrived at the dealer today. Delivery next Tuesday!
  12. No word today from my guy. Not surprised though. Expect delivery this week. Yours Choliver?
