e61's 2020 Armada/Patrol Y62 Build

So am I to understand a lift solution has been found to just bolt on shocks and springs, keep everything else stock and not have alignment issues?

Yep, with the Lovells springs and Ironman shocks.

If Iron man 4x4 ever gets the Patrol/Armada shocks back in stock. Haven't been on the US site in ages.

Yep, there are a few other shock options. They should all work as long as the springs are the correct length. Like the bilsteins.

Also, if you add longer shocks upper control arms are necessary to allow for the droop. Basically you won’t get the benefit of the longer shocks. Just the improved ride quality.

I had some time to kill and clicked through EVERY Y62 page on patrolpart.au looking for interesting things. There are many items that would require some modifications to work on the USA spec rigs, but many that would likely bolt right on. Enjoy...

Removed air compressor and rear seats today. All fairly strait forward.

Swapped the 4x4 control module for fun. The dial and traction button work, which is what I was expecting. If/when I import the patrol rear diff with e-locker I will chase down which additional modules and harnesses I need to swap to get it all working.

Oddly, there is a placebo effect just by having a locker and mode selector buttons. Emotionally, I feel like I’m a better off-road driver ;-) Hey, isn’t much of what we do to our trucks driven by our emotional needs?

That's awesome - building the Armada we should have gotten!

Do any of the throttle mapping modes work?

Not as far as I can tell. But it could possibly be working and it’s just not showing in the LCD because the software version on the dash isn’t listening for those messages. Who knows at this point. But I hope to tinker and figure it out over time.

Right on, keep chipping. Awesome concept!

If you get the rear diff and modes working, you'll be a hero to many!

It's been a while since my last update. I've been taking things slowly, but here are a few of the changes...

New RTT from iKamper...


Boos Bash Plates...

Removed side steps (after smashing one at Big Bend on Black Gap Road...


Just FYI regarding ground clearance to the frame with my current setup.

Here are a few pics of the new tires...
