Platinum Member Marcus Durand Posted May 23, 2018 Author Platinum Member Share Posted May 23, 2018 What's in the box? A nice shiny new 2" lift kit just waiting to be fitted. Only trouble is.... the instructions are in German! I'm hoping to get some English ones soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member TazMann Posted May 24, 2018 Platinum Member Share Posted May 24, 2018 Looking good Marcus. I have that lift kit fitted and its an easy swap to make :great: Did you get any wheel spacers yet? They will help bring the wheels out and provide a much more stable jeep. Well that's what I found.

Thank Simon. No, no wheel spacers yet, I'll think about that one, I can see the advantages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member Marcus Durand Posted June 3, 2018 Author Platinum Member Share Posted June 3, 2018 Lift kit fitted. Went from jut under 32 inches to just over 34. :great: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member Marcus Durand Posted June 3, 2018 Author Platinum Member Share Posted June 3, 2018 Some headlight restorer has made these look almost new again, they were quite dull and slightly yellowed. Before on the right, after on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member Clint Posted June 3, 2018 Platinum Member Share Posted June 3, 2018 Great job Marcus. How does it drive now with new springs and shocks? A lot better I guess.... :great: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member Marcus Durand Posted June 3, 2018 Author Platinum Member Share Posted June 3, 2018 Great job Marcus. How does it drive now with new springs and shocks? A lot better I guess.... :great: Hi Clint. Yes, a lot more stable. The tyres on it have quite soft sidewalls, so they wobble around a bit still, but I hope to get that sorted soon. Once those are on and I have re-torqued the bolts, I'll get the tracking checked too. Having said all that, it actually rides quite nicely.

Platinum Member TimC Posted June 10, 2018 Platinum Member Share Posted June 10, 2018 I need to find somewhere interesting to drive it now. Looks so much better now Marcus :great: Nice job!

Platinum Member TimC Posted June 15, 2018 Platinum Member Share Posted June 15, 2018 If you feel like showing me around some of them, let me know! :great: OK will have a look and see what we can sort out :icon_cool: Alternatively there’s roundhill woods near Tring, Whaddon 4x4 up near Bletchley or Devils Pit near Luton, all reasonably close for you, but laning is more fun in my opinion.

Matt Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Looks like it could go anywhere now! I'm up for a bit of local laning too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member Gbonesteak Posted February 27, 2019 Platinum Member Share Posted February 27, 2019 Hi Marcus, Jeep looks fantastic mate. Do you have any issues with the 245s on the stock rims or do they fit no problem? Any rubbing etc? Regards Grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member Marcus Durand Posted February 28, 2019 Author Platinum Member Share Posted February 28, 2019 Hi Grant. They are absolutely fine. No problems at all. These particular tyres were the only ones that I could find that have the type of tread I was looking for without going to a bigger diameter. Marcus.
