Put 25mm spring spacers in the rear springs. Mostly to compensate for the car with trailer and fire wood, and camping stuff is getting too low in the rear on trips. The trailmaster 2" springs might have sagged a bit too from age and wear.
My springs pop out a bit from their seats when offroading so I think there is no need for any more mods.
I Might add damper spacer brackets later if needed.

Generally i do not approve of spring spacers as my impression is that they are technically inferior.
Or maybe i am just a snob.

Looks OK though and the car do not look like it is too high in the back unloaded.

Norway 2005 Jimny M16A VVT, 235 BFG MT, 2" Trailmaster, ARB rear lck, 17%/87% high/low gears.

Finally got time to update the exhaust and manifold.  I had a stainless system with the original manifold on previously, but it looked a little out of place due to the smaller rear bumper exposing the large muffler.  4-2-1 manifold was wrapped in preparation for the heat shield being removed and new exhaust fitted. A marked difference in performance.  Going up hills is a lot less of a gamble in high gear, it also looks a lot better, albeit a little louder.  Next job is to sound deaden the cabin space.

2" Trailmaster suspension lift, 2"body lift, snorkel, full breather kit, 29" steel wheels with BFG tyres, tinted rear windows, CRT CB radio with modulator antenna mounted on rear, dog cage and tray in the back.

Yet another set of roof bars.  These I think look a little less me and a little more shop bought. Still need to get some more hardware to complete the install but happy not to have the foam lagging anymore. Will be interested in how quiet the aero profile is at proper speed but so far so good.

Gave her a good wash today after Saturdays lanes and wild camping on the farm.

Also did the 5 wheel rotation.
