Ride Height Survey

[PukkaT6]

No i think it can go lower but i didnt really want to have the wheel arch liners cut which i would need to go much lower

That sits so well - lovely van mate

Thanks fella I come to the T6 after 14 years behind the wheel of a 110 Defender, a lovely tank but the T6 is a quantum leap in all but off road ability

 

[Paul Holmes]

Just right nice van

 

[Chopman]

Looks great @dubdub, are your wheels the same width front and rear?

 

[dubdub]

No the fronts are 8.5 x 20 and the rear 9.5 x 20 and at mo running 255 x 35 all round but about to swap the rear for 275 x 40 in the hope of protecting the rims a bit more

I came across this listing on Ebay. The suspension setup is APB Accuair Elevel, Bilstein dampers, Twin 444 compressors and a seamless tank, all fitted underneath the van.

Well that’s just depressed me. Same age as mine and a lot more mods for £22k.
Dread to think how much mines depreciated in 12mths.

Ah, thought it was a classified. That makes me feel better.
Never planning on selling my van so depreciation doesn’t really matter anyway.
Back happy now.

True that VAT will be added...but there's no reserve and only a day to go. I reckon it'll sell for £24k+VAT

That hasn’t helped.

I can’t take anymore of this emotional roller coaster. I’m off to the pub for lunch as I’m not working today.
