Ahhh nice to see another Epson Green around, great choice Jon. Classic LR colour I reckon, looks great in the bush and covered in dirt.

Cheers,

Michael,

I agree, it does somehow look right in the bush. If only it didn't show the scratches so easily. This is my second Epsom Green Disco, you'd have thought I would have learnt my lesson by now! This time round I was going to buy a white one, but just couldn't resist the green again.

Cheers,
Jon

Some changes happened this weekend.

Replaced the OME springs with some Kings. KRFR06 front and KRRR04 rears. Result was more height at the front and a much better ride due to the softer, progressive rears. Very happy with the results so far, but have yet to take it off-road. Hopefully with the softer rears I'll get back some of the articulation I lost fitting the ome's.

Tried refitting the Bilstein shocks but still have problems topping out in rear so have gone back to ome shocks while I consider my options.

Also fitted a Warn xd9000 winch. After this the car sits level with about 40-45mm of lift - exactly what I was after.

Cheers,
Jon
