Has anyone any knowledge on the Patrol SWB variant

Spotted a SWB Troll at the V&A last night.... quite a "DISH"... :thumbup:
Were these variants available ever in SA? Are there any owners of SWB's in SA?

Re: Air Springs - rear suspension height leveler (under load

Hi Clem, With my application, I've added the Gremel Tech Air Springs, in addition to the already fitted TJM Gold series upgraded suspension.... so I think the shocks are already the heavier duty type...

Re: Air Springs - rear suspension height leveler (under load

Hi Peter, Thanks.... your suggestion rings true, as the Troll responds best to the temps I'm trying. I do think i'll go to 0.8-1.0 bar then, for the Air Springs, then I should avoid the possibility of pinching, and still have an assist reserve, should I have more than 2x passengers + groceries, as i...

Hi, After recently having experienced headlight height negative issues, when fully packed and overlanding, I've just had rear suspension Air Springs fitted, and can't wait to test them out in August, on the next "away" trip. Can anyone tell me the PROS vs THE CONS, regarding this upgrade, ...
