Easy to fit, lever off (gently) the black plastic thingos (absolutely no idea what you would call them) and pop the existing spring locks, there are 3 in total 2 of which are the same, you will reuse the 3rd on the pipe at the engine end, and one of the others at the intercooler end. Take off...

Put mine on over the weekend, restored the performance and improved the economy as well. Cheers JM

We have a James Baroud. Expensive, fast, secure, stable on the car and when up not affected by extreme winds. Leave your bedding up there and made up. In a word, brilliant. Cheer JM

Actually don't know if it fixes something or anything - as far as I know it's just the maps that are upgraded.... As I mentioned above, my unit sometimes just gets lost from time to time and I could be anywhere....sometimes for a short time, sometimes for a few days at a time. Its a bit like DR...

Interesting price difference... I wont be getting the update either, simply not worth it for the money. The nav system looses its location and sits in some other part of the country for a while until it finds its way again.... Cheers JM

In late September I got an email saying there is a map upgrade available - no mention of a cost. I just booked the car in for a service and the quote for the map set upgrade is $480 on a 12 month old car..... Not a happy camper..... JM

10 per hundred not towing, bout 13.5 with the KK

Finally got an answer from the local TJM distributer, their plates dont fit the 550 either (no reason given), So I have bitten the bullet and have ordered the Ironman variety, apparently to front two should fit, and the transmission one may fit. Other than finding a custom maker it seems to be...

At the risk being shot for yet another bash plate thread.... I have been hunting for a set of plates for my stx 550, so far my research has found that ARB dont have a set, Ironman have a set of 3 plates, but the transmission plate wont fit, and I am now looking at TJM. Just to set the scene, I...

Had one fitted from the start (dealer fitted), no issues with it.

A good result is the short of it. The bloke in Cairns (Stan - Springs and Blacksmith) knows his stuff. He originally thought that one leaf would be needed with maybe new shockies as well in the back. In the end he did 2 leaves and left the shockies alone. I think he also did some magic over...

Folks, Thanks for your responses - having pulled into Cairns late last week looking to get the ARB (OME) version done this week before heading home, it seems that business up here is booming and nobody can do anything for many weeks. I have found a smithy who specialises in spring resets who...

Hi all, discovering that the standard (STX-550) springs are sagging under load (tub full of camping stuff and heavy trailer ball weight) and I am looking to replace the suspension. I think I should do the lot but I don't want the ride to suffer too much - does anybody have the ARB or TJM...

thanks guys, the V6 is great. I am starting to notice the back dropping a bit with the weight on board now getting ready for holidays!

Hi all, Been watching for a while now (before the ute arrived). I thought its about time I showed myself....moved from a Pajero NT (and NP before that) to a ST-X 550 premium. Like more people these days I intend to use it for a tourer rather than work. So far loving it and looking forward to...
