A punch hunt looks like a fantastic event! Shame there aren't more of them around the country.
And as Martin says, the perfect fighting ground for a small, nimble Jimny!

Who said "Jimny's don't flex with Poly Bushes fitted" somewhere on the board?

That would be me! And I'm afraid I'm yet to be convinced. Using the plastic door trim as a crude measuring tool, in that picture you appear to have no more flex than a standard Jimny....

I hope this doesn't sound harsh, but given that you have around £1000 worth of suspension and probably 200kg more weight acting on it I'd have expected a little more? Get it on some ramps (or a forklift), it'd be interesting to know the point at which you raise a wheel.

Better photo then...?

It's probably slightly down to my choice of springs too though, I have JimnyBits Diesel front springs ON THE REAR to compensate for the extra weight I carry (bumpers, winches, roll hoop, recovery gear(, so it will take a bit more to compress them... If I had a forklift to artificially show suspension flex it might be a different matter, but I use mine offroad instead
