Australia: JMACX GVM Upgrade & Lifts

[TheDocAUS]

Just called JMAX (further to my rant below). Very helpful but...12 months-off as they have just started the process and Federal approval takes many months. I asked for a guestimate on price and was quoted 12k to 30k depending what components are needed
I would like to think that that very few components would be required given that it is built like a tractor.

Anyhow I set up my Grennie for a camping and 4WD weekend and took it fully loaded (inc Adblue, washer fluid, diesel and water cansters full) to a weighbridge......3,620kg 70kg over and still had a passenger to load!

Now not camping this weekend (weather is crap), but had to empty out water, wood, side molle panels with water carriers and 2 X 20l water canisters, Campboss shower, solar blanket, swags, Maxtrax x 2 and crashmats x 2, to get it down by 160kg. I hope that my passenger has not put on any weight! I can't believe that I am so heavy with bare minimum (well maybe more than the bare essentials): Fridge, ARB dual air compressor, Bison Gear roof rack, rear shelf, safari shelves, shovel, rear drivers molle panel, Starlink mini, recovery kit, first aid kits, fire extinguisher, UHF radio, table, chairs x 2, Bison Gear chair shelves, tire repair kit, tire inflation kit, jump start kit, OBD2 reader and a couple of torches. And also a Brown Davis 68litre extended range tank. And Black sheep rock sliders with side steps.

Another option is to use a Stockman Pod trailer and get that weight out of the car. The All Roada or Extreme can go almost anywhere I can get my 4X4.

I used the Extreme Offroader with the Nissan Patrol on my 27,000km Kimberly Pilbara trip.

It looks like JMACX took the Grenadier video down. They must have jumped the gun as INEOS ANZ has not formally launched the car - at least I cannot find the official launch.

What I know about the car so far (updated):

1. Norweld tray and canopy (the Elite Tray, and the canopy is the Deluxe Lite);
2. JMACX Alpha 2.5 suspension, with more to come including a front steering damper;
3. Rhino Rack 3/4 roof rack;
4. 168 litre Brown Davis aux tank (BD is also offering a 105l tanks for the QM, not the Grenadier);
5. camping lights over rear door, most likely STEDI and probably both sides. They look like they are plugged into the QM's exterior roof power outlets;
6. work light on the rear driver's side of canopy roof, probably STEDI and probably both sides;
7. STEDI lights (x8) on the roof rack, maybe Type-X EVO 4 mini LEDs (controlled by the Redarc TVMS?);
8. Redarc TVMS (you can see it in the Norweld tray video).

Waiting for reveals of fridge, UHF and recovery gear.

Why would Jmaxcx offer a QM and SW version of the shocks? I figured they would be the same.

I can see the ftiment bracket is different, that may be the only difference, but valving may also differ.
