Agreed. You could do a lot worse than putting it back to the standard suspension and a set of suitable tyres for the prevailing terrain. It might not get absolutely as far down a forest track as it could potentially like it is in the pictures but it will be much more user-friendly.

I have a shopping cart with standard spec KYB springs and Monroe shocks, together with some additional maintenance items. Still deciding on the tyres...
I am looking at the Maxxis M8060 205/70 r15 mounted on the current rims.
Do you think these would fit well in the 7" wide rims?
Also, do you think it will look ok with the big arches? I have spacers installed, but I don't know how thick they are...
Any suggestions on tyres (muds preferably, but some aggressive A/T could work.
A 7 inch rim is plenty wide enough for a 205 bot won't be a problem. Not used the 8060 but the maxxis buckshot is a good tyre so can't see there being a problem there either.

I have KYB road springs fitted with 15mm seats. They have proved to be very good, both on road and off.
They have only been in for about 5k miles but have no sign of softening despite some pretty hard off road work.
After spouting their merits, they are being changed today for some Eibach pro-lift +30mm....... I have found myself doing a little more off road than I first envisaged, I want just that little more off road but I don't want to lose road manners.
The Monroe dampers have been positively received by other forum members.
Depending on the cut of your tyres, you may find the spacers need to be removed to avoid catching.
