Hello.

In my GL the main panel looks like this (US spec):

Is is hard to retrofit this "extended" suspension panel?

It would be very difficult. It's not just a matter of installing the panel. The off road package includes a two speed (High/Low) lockable transfer case that the normal GL does not have. It would be easier to sell your GL and buy one with the off-road package, if you could find one.

Seems like there are very few GLs in the US with the real "Off Road" package.

Thanks. I think I'll pass.

Looks like you have GL320. IIRC, they did not make GL320s with off-road package.

When I was researching mine, I thought I saw it on the option list, but never saw one for sale with it.
