| Black Perth moving to SA....hmm.. "Java Adelaide" |
|
Well, I'm on the move "back home" gents so will look forward to meeting all the SA D3 owners in due course - sad farewell to sunny Perth  but returning to the grape growing centre of the universe  after 15 years "way out West". Now I have to put up with Adelaide Jeep Club - brother has a heavily modded Commander so i'll be dragged along to all their trips. Should get used to towing it out of trouble I guess.....  2006 SE TDV6 with G4 Options ("A" Bar, Driving lights, expedition rack, ladder; fr & r light guards, side steps, G4 logos) door moulds; plus Long Ranger 115L sub-tank; OL rear wheel carrier; OL rear drawer system; Kenwood / Garmin Satellite Nav/bluetooth/iPod/rear camera/DVD); LR roof mounted DVD; GME 3440 UHF; Tyre Dog tyre monitoring system; Optima Yellow second battery and Traxide dual battery management system; Mitchell Bro's tow hitch;

Hi Black Perth - well didn't manage to catch up with you when we travelleed to WA last year, so hope we can be more successful now.
As for the heavily modded Jeep Commander - that would almost give it 50% of the capability of a standard Disco I would imagine.
Cheers, and welcome to the land of good red wine.
Update; - it's actually raining here. Looks like we'll have the first rain to speak of sinc last year.

Chris,
Hope you have more opportunity to prove you can drive as far up sand dunes as my 21 yr old daughter did last Sunday (but maybe on your first attempt next time) 
In fairness it was a delightful day and I hope you enjoyed the last of the winter sunshine in Perth + comaraderie as much as I did.

Oh, I see, give a man a V8 and low tyre pressures and this is what we get, on line teasing! 
I'm going with the "a gentleman always lets the lady win" line....
Cant wait to see what the Adelaide Hills have to offer - hope its up to the standard of the Powerline Track! Although the long range fuel tank capacity is depleting every time I go out (one BIG dent during that ambitious assault up the hill) - even with the shortened rods!!! 2006 SE TDV6 with G4 Options ("A" Bar, Driving lights, expedition rack, ladder; fr & r light guards, side steps, G4 logos) door moulds; plus Long Ranger 115L sub-tank; OL rear wheel carrier; OL rear drawer system; Kenwood / Garmin Satellite Nav/bluetooth/iPod/rear camera/DVD); LR roof mounted DVD; GME 3440 UHF; Tyre Dog tyre monitoring system; Optima Yellow second battery and Traxide dual battery management system; Mitchell Bro's tow hitch;

Always the gentleman. Ladies first is a prudent policy. Yes I hope to enjoy the V8 roar somewhere around Adelaide with you in the future. Cheers.

I've never seen a Commander heavily modified. In fact, I can't even remember the last time I saw a Commander at all. Got a photo? --

Try Adelaide Jeep Club website - I think www.adelaidejeepclub.com. .., lots of photos of it there on trips. Best thing is probably the Quadrtrak 4WD systrem which is next best thing to LR's. And I note the 2010 Jeep has a new system almost same as Terrain response. 2006 SE TDV6 with G4 Options ("A" Bar, Driving lights, expedition rack, ladder; fr & r light guards, side steps, G4 logos) door moulds; plus Long Ranger 115L sub-tank; OL rear wheel carrier; OL rear drawer system; Kenwood / Garmin Satellite Nav/bluetooth/iPod/rear camera/DVD); LR roof mounted DVD; GME 3440 UHF; Tyre Dog tyre monitoring system; Optima Yellow second battery and Traxide dual battery management system; Mitchell Bro's tow hitch;

That's not a dent Chris, that's a badge of honour  After all, you got up that hill where Mike's Defender failed, even with his rear locker on.
