What’s the point of an XU4?

So all the utes and vans had the smaller spring pack? I actually swapped my springs for the 6 leaf ones on my WB to stiffen it up and make it handle better.

From what im aware yes. Might have to look in my parts books when I get a spare 5. =)

I get the different tyres thing. It just seems odd to me that you'd order a commercial vehicle and then lower the carrying capacity purely based on different set of tyres.

I guess I also just want to believe I have an XX7 not an XU4.

cost would be a factor. Sandmans were much more expensive than the base model.

Cost yes. But the XX7 and the XU3 where a sports package. gts bits n pieces etc.

XX7 and XU4 both got sedan tyres. So the reason for this is they handle better. The commersial tyres where not as good on the road.

only differance between the XX7 and XU4 is that XX7 got the gts bits aswell. =)

You say you have a XU4. What model is it?

[ambientgoat]

I'm not sure if it's an XU4 or an XX7. It is a Mint Julep HX 2 seater, derated, 254 aussie 4 speed. However the interior is 67V and the headlining strip is either removed or missing.
I've spoken to you about it in an email before. If you remember the van that has the random bits of station wagon and scrap metal welded together and covered in bog to make a side.

I spoke to guy the other day that says he has evidence that Sandmans were delivered without full length headlining's..
He said some were ordered that way as they were used for commercial purposes.
maybe they could be deleted from the order ?..I will try find out what documentation he is referring to..
