Halfords Dog-Taxi

spent an enjoyable afternoon in the sun with some good company

and got the new toys out :woohoo:

2" / 50mm Avo Premium Suspension Lift Kit from Jimnybits



along came a man with a reasonably priced jimny





all I need now are some bigger boots and I'll be all grown up





drove home on setting "0" which is basically shocks switched off - it was like riding in a limo, I never new a jimny could float on the road so comfortably, mind you the roundabouts were a bit scarey as the car wallowed like a drunken hippo climbing up a river bank.

so after a quick pit stop it was onto setting 4 - a little more stable but just as comfy,

will try setting 8 in the morning when I take the missus shopping, or maybe setting 16 (max) as the last thing I want is for her to suddenly take a liking to the Jimny :evil:

awesome - feeling the jimny love again

thanks Gaz

Looking really good Halford I'm a day behind you

I get mine fitted tomorrow ( trailmaster not Avo)

Cant wait :silly: :lol: :woohoo:

How long did it take any problems?

couple of hours at a leisurely pace,

some stubbon nuts, but resistance was futile at the hands of Gaz

thankfully the bits had been off a couple of years back, had the fixings been on since new I'm sure it would be a battle, with new nuts and bolts required.

good luck tomorrow,

:woohoo:

Seriously impressed with the shock absorbers what a ride they give ! Need to get saving.

pleased you're happy hal that kit has transformed the way your's drives now.

Been a canny little day lovely weather

When are you changing your signature

I'm very pleased to hear there is a way to make the jimnys ride smoother!

Nice work Mike & Gaz ....

lots more playing today, have set the fronts at 9 and left the rears at 7 (max=16)

at 9 the front end dsiplays the best urban cornering/comfort compromise

now if only there was someway to attach stepper motors to the knobs to facilitate controlling the settings from inside the car :huh:

Voice coils are the most common actuator for active ride shocks - I'm still looking for some that are long enough for a Jimny.
