At the moment putting on a set of sliders and wanna get some brush bars, n the suspension was thinking tough dog adjustable shocks to eliminate some of the body roll ha ha, but besides that set it up better for camping with rear awing and some more lights and maybe set of rear draws but that's it. Try and enjoy more camping and wheeling when get the chance ( oh if motor ever dies, v8 diesel :-D)

ha ha yeah i know aye, costly excercise to with that flex, didn't have to sussed out very well and resutled in a busted fuel tank and tail shaft, but thats all been modified now. i had in that picture 8" rear shocks and 5" front shocks, but now pulled them out and selling them and got 6" tough dog adjustable all round and still pretty good flex, yeah those coils drop pretty far with also coil retainers and drop out cones in the rear
