Ronny Dahl Bought a Quartermaster

Half canopy goes on the QM. The car rides so nicely with that JMACX Suspension.

It's all for content really, I honestly don't see the point in the half canopy, weight savings would be IMO minimal in the grand scheme of things

Ronny is working with NORWELD and they have a full canopy, half canopy and 3/4 canopy and he gets to test the lot. Then QM owners can watch and make a more informed decision.

Plus I like to see the different power systems these NORWELD canopies have installed.

Yes, I understand this, this vid seems a bit - "meh" for content, I was hoping for a bit more substance, maybe I was expecting too much

That is just the teaser, he always puts out a more through review, after he tests it.

The Toyota guys just can't stay out of the comments. How to telegraph jealousy and tribalism in one fell swoop!
Meanwhile - as a contented fanboy - I just like to see brand exposure and progression of options.

The different weight in a empty norweld half canopy is 106kg and full is 169kg.

The Toyota boys did that to me when I drove the Nissan Patrol. A very insecure group, blind to our common interest of 4WDing.

My favorite story is a Prado owner telling everyone his Prado was better than my Patrol before we crossed the Simpson Desert. I REALLY enjoyed recovering him a few days later - all the while he was loudly protesting he was not being recovered but towed (I used a recovery strap). The Nissan Navara recovered the other bogged Prado.

I would love to know why it is the Toyota fanboys are the only fanboys that are extremely vocal about anything thats not a Toyota
I have never understood it! you never hear any other brand fan be so anti anything else

Substitute reliable and tough for fast.

This is where Lloyd's Open Form should apply. If he accepted your recover strap willingly without prior negotiation then I reckon could be your Prado now!!!

The Quartemaster really suits the lift and bigger tyres, I was surprised how much I liked the stock ones having never been into the pickups we get in the UK

 

[Tom109]

But stock suspension fits 35’s (or 34.8’s)???

Lucky for him I did not want it. I had a Nissan Patrol.

I think it had more to do with the two Prado drivers, than the car.
