Default Leveling width GAP IId Tool

Using the GAP IID tool to level your Defender for roof top camping or a lofty perch is simple enough.

Who doesn’t like getting horizontal?

It takes a minute or so A small time investment given the duration of a comfy nights sleep ahead

I don’t use a RTT but thought I’d test the process nonetheless.

I wonder if the GAP crew are coming up with a single button press to level the vehicle @stevemfr

One more cool feature of the GAP tool An X-lifter in disguise.


After leveling.

Each corner can be inflated/deflated as needed.

There might be something...

BTW, you have to put the vehicle into 'Build Mode' first to keep the EAS from trying to level out when you leave 'Test Valves' if you want to sleep level in your RTT or platform in the vehicle, etc.

I don’t see a build mode in the menu. Just the options I’ve shown.

nothing happens to the suspension settings once I stay there. Is there another option to select?

I thought the service/test section was the same as build mode for the L663 and GAP G4/G3

is there already a one touch button option I’m not seeing or one on the way? That would be cool.

I forgot - "Build Mode" was replaced "Manufacturing Mode". It's in the CHCM (Chassis Control Module).

I should have written "there might be something coming..." Sorry

No worries.

I don't see " manufacturing mode" either. Still only seeing the menus I showed. It works just fine, just not got the same labels you mention.

Keep us posted on the one touch button.
GAP tool has already rendered lift rods obsolete. LLAMS too albeit less user friendly. Would be cool to add X-lifter to the arsenal.

I hadn't really considered that remote possibility.
