Think I will give it a go, can always sell it on once its MOT'd if its no good.
I dont expect it to be as good offroad as the Jimny was but it will be better on the road.

I had one for a couple of years, 2" lift, custom rear shocks, 29" Maaxis Trepadors Custom snorkel sliders & underbody protection. Punted it many places it shouldnt have gone following a friend in a Toyota Landcruiser ( I swear it had little car syndrome :whistle: ). It had more space & better driving position than the Jimny (in my opinion)
Still on highway tyres :whistle:

Springs were Dobinson. I think about 35-40mm lift. Front struts must be KYB - the spring plate is mounted ~20mm higher which gives room for larger tyres. rear shocks were custom Tough Dogs with longer droop.
