Hi All,
I have been adding to the bits on the disco and have recently replaced the rear springs with Kings KRRR-04's and then use the old rears up front, these were then accomanied by OME Nitrochargers allround. The install went well and I used spring compressors both ends cause it was easier, the only PITA was the top nuts on the front shocks :evil: :evil:
With about 500km under their belt the backs have settled to a 60mm lift with only a full fuel tank load and the new fronts maintaining a 40mm lift with the steel ARB bar. The ride is much nicer on and off road and the rear should hold up better when there is a load on board. Travel hasn't been tested yet.
While under the car I also installed a pair of 4x4DE front recovery points, although not cheap they are super solid and fitted well, the only problem was getting the steering protector back in place :evil: nothing that the lump hammer couldn't handle style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif and a bit of swearing helped too :oops:
I also had the glass tinted with a film called "Black Pearl" by tint mart, it is the blackest film I had seen on the market while remaining legal and it certainly makes a big difference to heat inside the car, it was well worth the dollars spent :wink:
Seeing as the interior was like new when we got the car I wished it would remain that way and to save having a coranary every time we went near mud etc with the young bloke and the impending puppy arrival :roll: let alone food and drink in the back while travelling I invested in a set of waterproof seat covers. I chose Takla waterproof canvas and these covers are tailor made for each car, they fit and work well and looks like the will last for years 8)
I have had a couple of lucky wins on ebay of late also scoring a pair of genuine headlight covers and fitted rear rubber floor mats.
