Hi all
Just install a VMS unit, it is a new stereo that has all the good stuff on it. Main reason i went for it is that is has normal street navigation GPS, but also has oziexplorer, no more need for running the PDA and tom tom. Its a great unit, also has reversing camera and dvd and touchscreen. Fits neatly into the 200 series.
I love new toys, just wanted to share my joy. haha.

Crazie,
for the benefit of others there's quite a lot of info about the VMS on LCOOL.
Some questions about your vehicle:
the Ironman website doesn't mention
suspension for the LC200. What have you got on yours?
Dobsons Springs in
Rockhampton offer a 350kg or 500kg GVM upgrade with their LC200
suspension. Do you do similar?
What size, load rating, speed rating on the Maxxis tyres?
cheers

Hi Mate
Sorry this was not meant to be about my work. so i will answer the question, not here doing a push or anything.
All of the Ironman LC200 is just about finished development, so not on the website yet, the
pic was taken minutes after i finshed puting my truck together9suspension, bull bar, steel side steps and roof rack), minutes later it was on a truck to Qld for the 4x4 show. We will have a full range of front and rear
suspension. I do have our kit on the 200. I have our performance coils on the front with new struts and heavy duty rear coils and our foam cell shocks on the rear. We do not have the GVM upgrade compliance yet, but are working on it. I believe the GVM upgrade can only be done to vehicles that have not yet been registered.
The maxxis are great, 285/70/17, now with the lift, i would try and go a little wider. not sure about the speed and load, i will
check when i get my car back.
cheers

Lets just say its many thousands cheaper to have done prior to rego on any car...
I've been working on it for the GU Patrol.. but it aint going to happen in Victoria. Although NSW you can get it done.
Spoke with Mr Al about it, and even if you get the GVM increased, then you will suffer with tires that legally allow that weight limit, which are only AT's or HT's.
Some info on the GU Patrol gig here.

VMS unit (Vessel Monitoring System) are installed on trawlers in the
Shark Bay Prawn and Scallop Fisheries in WA soas the Dept Of Fisheries can monitor where a vessel is fishing. It was introduced to assist the fleet but has turn out to be a lucrative revenue raiser for the Fisheries dept .
It is being introduced to several other WA fisheries Snapper and other wetfish fisheries.
It can be very costly as should the unit fail you cannot leave
the wharf which can cost thousands of dollars a night.
