Jumbo the 4x4 sprinter travels Central Arnhem Road to Nhulunbuy Gove Peninsula NT open to 4x4 only

A 700kl rough dirt road tackled early in the season . The road was opened to 4x4 under 4.5 ton just days before we began our journey

Loved watching this, Agnes. Thanks for sharing. Looks like the sprinter is capable of taking you where you want to go. Cheers, Tonia.

Great video, we have a sprinter V6 4x4 LWB, but have not been able to but it to serious use yet. We intend to go to WA next year. What modification would you recommend, we intend to do some beach driving, Gib River Road, nothing to serious. How do you find the ground clearance and does diff lock much difference?

[@NuMoonvl4936]

sorry for the slow response Underbody protection engine gearbox and diff plus hand brake and bottom shocky mounts. taller tyres to give more wall flex and softer ride when deflated , we changed shocks to Koni , diff lock not necessary if not pushing it too hard, our new spring pack is a big improvment. over just adding an extra leaf which we did first. Aggie keeps suggesting we do a mods video cheers.

@@NuMoonvl4936 Thanks heaps for the reply, our van has standard Mercedes shocks, did the Koni shocks give worthwhile improvement? We do have underbody protection, engine gearbox etc.. I would love to see a mods video. Many thanks for your reply. Cheers Geoff

@gandbnomadsinthehorizon7898 hi. Yes koni shocks helped on middle setting . They come from factory in soft setting.

laughed at the writing on windscreen, gears indicator. I know the feeling I have sprinter to,RWD LWB bloody things are to smart for their own good. hey im thinking of upgrading to a AWD LWB. do you rate yours?

[@NuMoonvl4936]

Sorry for the slow response. ours is the last of the v6 mod but the new ones may prove to be better at some challenges . and not so in others The bottom line is the are great freedom machines and we are so happy we have the off road option.

Hi guys, i have a 2023 LWB AWD sprinter and would love to get a diff lock but cant find anywhere that can supply and fit. Any ideas? As i note you guys have one.

[@NuMoonvl4936]

ARB make them and supply the world with them. ARB Maroochy fitted ours cost around $6000.

[@simonhantler8062]

what tyres do you use?

[@NuMoonvl4936]

hi sorry for the slow response. I am not too good at this stuff. 265x75x 16 on the LWB . I think 255s would be ok as well particulary on the Mwb
