Whats the GVM getting upgraded from/to ??
It is 3300 and the max we can go without altering the car is 3 500. It’s not a lot more but it just lets us take a little bit more without worrying if we are over gvm.
@@hapninemptynesters Maxed out on the 2022 DMAX at 3670kg GVM
Yeah I believe we could only get 3500 because the 76 is a 2011 model. We could have got more if we upgraded the brakes and diff but that was just too expensive and we don’t need that much more.
I've had a lovells gvm upgrade in my 76 for 5 years with no issues. I went with their heaviest load rated springs front and rear. I've towed a lot including the Tanami, Gibb and Fraser - ride is way better than stock suspension. Tjm Toowoomba fitted mine and i found them good to deal with at that time. A downside of ssm suspension upgrades is that no matter what brand suspension or combination you get engineered, you become restricted to that same brand and same spec parts if you ever need to replace anything in the future.
Thank you for all that information. You make us feel a lot more confident with our decision to use Lovell’s and we are also planning to use TJM Toowoomba. Thank you!
@@hapninemptynesters no worries. Our experience has been good and as I mentioned, our suspension has taken a beating. The Lovells shocks aren't flashy remote reservior etc but they are working well for us. I couldn't be bothered stuffing around in red dust or mud to adjust rebound rates - simple is perfect.
@17Viking that sounds just what we like. Simple, does the job.
🔝🔛🔝🔛

Sorry but you just made me unsubscribe.. each to their own…
We are all for feedback, can you tell us what we did that made you unsubscribe?
Simple question - is your vehicle losded with you, onboard gear and van ball weight at or below GVM? if you are over GVM, legal and insurance issues abound.
We were sitting right on our gvm so we wanted a bit more wriggle room. That is why we are wanting to upgrade our gvm.
Shop around, bigger the brand name = the bigger price!!!
Thanks that is good advice. We found Jmax was definitely out of our budget range.
Have you thought about Fullcum Slacks Creek, we highly recommend did ours for us and our new LC300. Speak with Anthony, tell Gary Neumann sent you.
Thanks, we will check them out.
Get all the work done by someone like ARB where you are & then the next time you are in Qld get the local ARB guys to certify the the GVM upgrade.
We did ask if we could do this and were told a definite no.
@@hapninemptynesters Funny that as I had my lift & upgraded suspension done on my 300 as I was fitting some heavy accessories on & only asked them to do a GVM upgrade as an afterthought. They were happy to do all the mods without the GVM upgrade for the green slip.
@jerryfrench2981 we were told the engineer had to see it before it left the workshop to certify it. Maybe it’s a QLD thing? We wanted to keep it registered in QLD.
Don't go anywhere near ARB, those guys stopped caring 10 years ago
@boc3499 we are thinking Lovells as their reviews are very good.
Lovells are fantastic. When I got my GVM upgrade before the 6x4, I rang them and they gave me their supplier in Newcastle. They were so helpful. Good luck guys.
Thanks Gaye. We have only seen good reports about Lovells.
Probably too late, but why not change front shocks in Vic & do GCM when you get home, only couple of hundred $, spend that on diesel
We did consider that but seeing it was over 10yrs old we decided to just do it all at once.
You're a pair off buggers! I've been thinking your dreams have been shattered all week. LOL. I should slap the pair of you.
I am sorry! I just couldn’t help myself.
@@hapninemptynesters that's ok. Cain would probably enjoy a slap anyway! Lol
@@HilltopFarmHomestead😂😂 you know him too well!
Those who smelt it, dealt it! 😂
😂😂 so true!
Why are you so excited about a bunch of concrete? Is this a fetish I'm unaware of? Hidden gems?
What the hell part of the internet am I in
The BEST part, exploring Australia!
Go cats
😂😂
We found an audio tour guide app with the story of these places. Storytowns app it’s called.
If only they knew, what a great day I would be for us today
Amazing day!
great vid
Thanks! We LOVED the Great Ocean Road!
Where?
Stick Shed at Murtoa Vic. Check out our latest TH-cam for more information.
Great vid... we were down in August... Not the best time.....
Thank you! I take it the weather is wet and windy?
Now that's a nice piece of gold! Loved this episode. The stick place looks incredible and I now have a interest in silo art 🎨. Thanks for a great upload. Have a wonderful week ❤🍺
Thank you so much! We really appreciate your support! And wouldn’t it be nice to have a piece of that gold!
That stick shed was amazing. We will definitely need to add that to the list of things to see.
It was AMAZING! Definitely go check it out!
That stick shed WOW thats is one hell of a shed and the art is amazing 😊
Yeah we were blown away by the Stick Shed!
Thank you for your service Mr Bennet. We all owe you so much.

I hope you were in front of him, Katrina 😅
Great episode on the Grampians. Wow, how crowded was that, reminds us of our trip to Blue Mountains, so busy. You would have had to change you hat to fit in too. 😛
Thanks Guys! Oh yes the Blue mountains are definitely very popular!
Thanks for another great video guys ❤
Thanks for watching, we really appreciate it
I love tumut❤
So did we! Can’t wait to go back to that area!
I love tumut❤
Loved your video guys. Heading up to the Grampians tomorrow with my daughter, her hubby and 4 boys. Appreciated your comments about your mum as I’m about her age. So maybe I may need to decline 26:22 trying to do the Pinnacle walk. Coped well with this walk 20 years back but I guess we have to be sensible as we get older. Love your channel. So glad I found it tonight. 😊💕🥾⛰️
Hey Paula, wow that was great timing! If you are super keen to do the walk go from the Sundial car park. Cain’s Mum was over exaggerating the sundial walk.
Gday Guys, great vid. We thoroughly enjoyed The Grampians when we were there earlier this year. Love the way Cain kept calling Halls Gap, Halls Creek 😂😂 Quick tip, there is some lurchyness (if that’s a word) in your vid when panning. You might want to check to see if the frame rate on your editing software matches the frame rate on your camera. Keep up the good work 😉
Thanks Guys, yes I had to keep reminding him we weren’t in WA! Thanks for the tip, I had noticed that in our last couple of videos and thought it was just our go pro. I will definitely look into it as it has been annoying me!
We just did some investigating and I think I have found the problem. Check out next week’s episode and see if you can notice the difference!
@@hapninemptynesters No probs, we love tuning in every week while we keep dreaming of full time travel 😥. Looking forward to it. 🤪
@@TravelAusOffGrid ❤️ thank you, we really appreciate it!
Hey Guys, You just won a Spotto Book for commenting on our TH-cam. Can you message us on Insta and let us know which book you would like. Congratulations.
Keeps the mozzies away so everyone can enjoy the cave. Very thoughtful Cain
😂😂 Mmm I’m not so sure!
Katrina...............I'm not sure you should take Cain on an Asylum tour. They'll never let him out again!............................"Bangkok!"...ROTFLMFAO!
Haha so true!!
