Hi, I have Dobinsons heavy duty springs and shocks on my LC120. I want to swap out the springs for OME springs (2883 & 2895) ones - a softer ride and slightly reduce the lift. Q. The front shocks are twin tube - will the OME springs over them? Now: Dobs GS59-221 with C59-302. Planned...

Love the wheels. I would say you need new suspension. You will also get more clearance when the body it higher.

Before I start making one, has anyone done something like this? Have always wanted a quick shade / drizzle cover over the back door…

I have KDJ120 D4D 5 Spd Auto (750F) UK spec built in Dec 04. I lost 5th gear so took it to my gearbox specialist who had a look. He tested it, nothing wrong. I picked it up and lost 5th gear again. He then took the valve block out, tested all the solenoids with nothing physically wrong traced...

Thanks. Will wire it and see what the voltage drop from that socket is. I don’t have a 120v socket as it’s an LC120, though I do have 2 batteries fitted as standard.. And to buck the trend I have my fridge on the right hand side…

Before I go down the full split charge route I plan on making my rear DC socket more useful. Take the existing socket and add a switch (facing outwards), meter, 2x 12v outlets (fridge & water pump), 4x USB for charging lights etc… Thoughts… It’s rated at 120w so guess there is a 10A fuse...

It is really, and so early on a Sunday morning. Thanks so much. Will post pictures when it happens

And why not - they are amazing cars. A couple more questions (mainly as I'm in the UK and there are not many around here let alone that have been lifted)... Do you remember if a spacer was added (have seen one post one was added to the your driver side) Could you measure from the bottom of the...

Love the rig Slowhog. How have you got on with your OME suspension. Am looking at the same 2885 front and 2895 at the rear. How is the ride at the front without a winch or metal bumper? Most of the time mine runs empty and only loaded when out on the trails so want something not too harsh....

Having spent hours reading all have pros and cons - just cant decide. Am looking at the following three tyres: Yokohama Geolander GO15 Toyo Open Country AT Plus Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S Usage = daily driver / motorway / cross the Pyrenees... and UK greenlaning (non mud) Any preferences /...
