Comp PD1880 hubcaps?

discotwinturbo · Feb 16, 2013

With the dual batteries, most have a battery under the bonnet, but after having batteries failing too frequently over the years from under bonnet heat I now have it located in the rear. It's a 105amp agm in a battery box, charged by a redarc dc to dc charger. Dc charger is hooked into an accessories live power (30amp fused under the dash) in the rear left hand side panel. This turns the charger on and then puts up to 20 amps into the battery. Voltage drop is not an issue and its a 3 stage battery charger. 70 litre fridge is located between the battery and the tailgate on a customer fridge slide/box. Next to the battery I have located my compressor. Having fridge and compressor close to the battery sees no voltage drop and fridge runs up to 3 days without D4 being turned on. I also have outlets that run led lights in the roof topper, on the awning and also my inverter to charge iPhone, iPad, etc...everything in one place.

Umbertob,
How did the 5th/spare tire fit ?

umbertob · Feb 16, 2013

Perfect, fully inflated (I got 5 new TPMS sensors on the new wheels and the warning light never even went off) and without removing the exhaust heat shield. If it was 1 mm larger, I don't think it would have fit, seriously. There is zero clearance all around.

awesome. if you ever get around to taking a picture, I'd love to see how it looks. Strange about the hubcaps...famous British quality control ?

Hope it works out.

I am sending this video to Compomotive and will see what they have to say... Something must be missing from that center, or they drilled it wrong. Sorry about the shakes, but you get the picture.

Regular height

umbertob · Feb 16, 2013

Offset of the Compomotive wheels has been decreased to ET44 (from stock 53) to make room for the front calipers, so the wheels "stick out" an extra 9mm (approx. 1/3") compared to the stock setup. The bulging sidewalls of the plus sized tires amplify the "wide track" effect. I like the look, the stance appears more aggressive to my eyes.

Spare tire hangs a bit low - it's a chunky tire - but still not as low as the exhaust in front of it.

And now some glamour shots. :biggrin:

This is offroad height +50 mm (dialed in with the LLAMS module):

And this is access height. I drove around in the parking lot at locked access height and could not hear or feel any rubbing regardless of steering angle.

Hopefully you don't have the color red permanently burned into your retina.

Great shots Umberto.....she looks the part.

I drive around with LLAMS set at -20 and no rubbing when using my 285/60-18's. still wont rub on access and -20. They do rub ever so slightly on full lock in reverse on the chassis rail.

Might need to go out and give my Fuji White a polish after looking at the depth of your colour.
