Hi Martin- another great video. As a P38 on air owner i'd definitely be interested in a kit should they become available. Keep up the good work and i'm looking forward to the next video.
Hi Thank you for your kind words👍 I am waiting to see how much interest is created, then will remove mine and get quotes to duplicate. Have a few more videos coming up, a 4inch stainless steel snorkel and raptor coating fore the rangey! Regards Martin
Hi Steven Just been looking at your channel, and was wondering if you could supply air bags that are 2inch higher than standard. I realise that sensors and bump stops would need to be modified like the ones I have currently modified. I have several people globally waiting for a solution to a lift kit! Regards Martin
G’day Martin, I love the vid mate! It shows how you’ve done the 2” lift great! I really like the tyres you’re running too 😀 The spacers you have on the rear are from “Hard Range” in Australia, sadly they’re no longer in business. Originally run by Paul (great bloke) and then bought by other P38 enthusiasts. I love how you’ve done the Front spring spacers for your lift. It’s common to see air leaks on the front springs due to rubbing when lifted from below (as I’ve done, although I’ve not experienced the issue) rather than above (as you’ve done). It’d be good to see you knock up spacer kits over there, I’m sure the market there would be much bigger than over here in Australia. My recovery is coming along well, can’t wait until I can head out 4wding again! Cheers Keithy
Another nice and interesting vid mate. I am an air bag lover as well and i really dont wanna convert to springs but still i would like some inches lifting. Interested for the kit in Cyprus 🇨🇾🇨🇾😎
Very interesting kit. My truck is a 1996 one and still run on airbags, thank you for let me know about Arnott bags, which are going to be installed soon after being delivered. Interested to your kit, count me too.
On my 99 P38 I used the free version of EAS Unlock to reprogram the offload height to give me something like 4 inches of lift. In that setting I have 16 inches of clearance under the frame rails.
Hi Gordon Thank you for your message! Yes that’s an option but be careful as air springs may rip as only have a certain amount of travel before failing. Have been talking to a manufacturer about increasing the travel but is very slow😂😂 Good luck with things👍 Regards Martin
@@all4x451 As a matter of fact I destroyed an Arnott air spring on an offroad trail in Colorado this summer. The lower locating pin on my left rear bag sheared off, the bag folded over and ripped. Ended up driving 137 miles on the bump stops including quite a few miles of offroad. Was able to replace the bag and continue my trip. Some mechanical lift would take some strain off the bags.
Oh dear not pleasant on the bump stops😬 Still trying to get a company to replicate my kit for correct money without jeopardising quality, may have a solution soon and will do video on manufacturing and supply😀👍
@@all4x451 That's an understatement. If I didn't have my seat belt fastened my head would be hitting the roof top. OK on pavement but brutle offroad. Would probably buy a kit if not too expensive.
I have a 2" lift on my 2001 HSE 4.6L P38...same color. When I bought mine it already had coils so im not changing them out at this point. Question: where did you get the front grill? I like the one you have although i just ordered a replacement for my cracked one. thanks!
Hi Carl Thank you for your message! The grill is a standard Range Rover sport grill, the difference is that holes have been drilled in it😀👍 Will do a close up in next video👍
Hi Thank you for your message! I am currently looking for a company to copy my 2 inch lift kit from Australia! Although only the front has extended bump stops due to design! Once I have arranged copy will let you know! Regards Martin
Hi Martin, I currently have springs on a 2002 P38. I would like to converted back to Air. What Air bottles do you recommend? I live in New York. Thanks
Hi Thank you for your message! There is a company called Arnott that make better re-enforced air bags air bags, they are idea for off road as standard air bags tend to rip under articulation these are what I use on my P38. Check out the link below and thanks again for the question, if I can help any further just let me know👍 Regards Martin
Amazing work thank you for sharing your experience with us, Air suspension p38 when normal its headache for all now after lift up what will happen. I plan to convert my car to coil spring no more headache.
Hi Thank you for message 👍 Yes a lot of people are changing to coil springs, my P38 was not great when I bought it! I rebuilt eas block and checked and changed faulty height sensors, all been good since for a few years now. The main problem that I can see is the hight sensors, as if one is faulty the system will work but not great! Regards Martin
@@all4x451 Thank you Martin for your quick reply and interest and patience. I tray to calibration by RSW EAS unlock suite with new air pump I spent hours but still not correct hight until I damaged the new pump. Same doubt in hight sensors faulty. You change the orginal or aftermarket sensors any help. Again I need new pump with sensors. Best regards,
Hi I was lucky to find nearly new original parts, my next purchase would be from Arnott they also make very good air bags at reasonable prices! Regards Martin
What's the use of a 2" lift when you extend the bump stops with 2"? Isn't the whole idea you have more flex? The P38 has plenty of ground clearance, chassis wise, so that can't be it. Genuine question, not to bash you. What you say about equal pressure with the axles flexed as in the video is partly right. not while driving, it only gets the same pressure when the EAS has enough time to adjust.
Hi Thank you for comment. Is always good to air views😂😂 The 2 inch lift is also for the fitment of larger tyres, and increasing wading depth. The larger bump stops have to be fitted or the flex will be too much for the air springs, and will damaged them as they have only so much travel! Regarding the air pressures, once the wheel sensor detects a wheel drop the designated valve opens to allow more pressure, combined with pressure switches rapid opening and closing of said valves occur. Granted the faster you travel the harder to control👍 Regards Martin
Hoorah! Not a wheeler but often at near to 6 tons with a 21' trailer and another P38 on the back. Wouldn't entertain the thought on springs. P38Addicts.
Hi Sorry for late reply! You can get kits I believe, will not be difficult as air springs come out easy. Problem will be having the warning lights on dash and disabling EAS!
@@all4x451 Awesome. I want a P38 as my weekend ride and will very rarely be used off-road. I'm considering buying one here in South Africa though it needs a gearbox and cosmetic repairs
@@BonganiMagadu you will not be disappointed with the P38 it’s a great off roader and tourer, keep me posted what you think! If I can help with anything let me know😀
Hi Thank you for your message. There are a lot of people and manufacturers now seeing the real benefits of air springs, I personally think that many will start choosing air over coil springs in very near future! Regards Martin
I do over 1k miles a month in mine with coil springs fitted. It was already converted when I bought it. I rarely go off-road and for what I do with it, it’s fine. I get why people prefer bags for off roading and comfort but I like the maintenance free aspect of coils. Drives just fine running standard 18s with ax7s. I drive many p38s at work with bags and coils alike, I prefer coils. I read a lot of passionate comments on forums over this topic, there is no need for it. Your vehicle, do what suits you.
@@oumaniac, the ONLY thing a Land Cruiser, or most Toyotas have going for them is the claimed reliability.. There is much more to a good car than just reliability. They lack style, they lack comfort, compared to any Range Rover. They really are nothing to look at, and, if you buy one new, 6 months later there will be a new facelifted one on the showroom floor, making your brand new Cruiser look dated. Every generation of Range Rover had around a 10 year run without notable changes, and even a 10 year old Range Rover still looks as modern as the current one. A 2 year old Land Cruiser on the other hand looks dated, as theres a new updated version every second day. And that goes for all Japanese marques… They just can’t seem to decide what they wan’t their cars to look like, or who to copy.. Look at Lexus throughout the 90’s and 2000’s, their sedans were shameless copies of Mercedes E/S classes, just somehow hideous, and ungainly.. And keep in mind that the Range Rover is the original SUV, the big daddy. Toyota was still busy trying to figure out how best to copy a Willys Jeep when the first Rangie rolled out…
I too am interested in this kit. Thank you for a great video

P38 was never designed to be on coil suspension. The EAS is what sets the P38 apart from other shite SUV’s like Land Cruisers and Patrols etc..
