And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.
I see you've gone for a 2" lift with upgraded shocks and springs - is the general ride much better that the stock setup? It was something I was considering as was told the stock units are poor. Did you fit yourself, or get it done at a shop?
I've got 140mm clearance under the garage door yet, so might as well use it. Cheers

There is nothing wrong with the stock setup as such. I do on a fair bit of offroad with our group, so needed a 2" lift to stop the bottom scratching out. I still have the stock tyres.
The general ride is quite improved and there is less roll as well. I got it done by http://www.zordos4wdsuspension.com.au
I have also put in a catch can, which I was surprised how much oil it collects.
2012 GU Patrol Simpson Edition. Auto. UHF, Bull Bar, 2" lift with Koni shocks, dobinson coils. 3" stainless Steel Exhaust.
That's the 2" OME lift fitted. Can definitely see an immediate improvement to the handling - seems a firmer ride and rolls less around corners... Looking forward to testing it off-road.
Next on the list im looking at fitting working lights to the rear. And the barn door hinge extension. I still can't understand why they have dummies and small lights in the bumper. I know the legal reason, but still makes no sense!!
When I get more confident a snorkel - don't want to cut the hole wrong! More pics to follow.
