Ok...so after two years i've finally bitten the bullet and am doing some decent work to the heep.

She's effectively stock standard at the moment...apart from ARB Rock Sliders and a set of Cooper ST's.

This is what's coming up very soon though...
RE 4.5" Superflex Lift Kit (with the 4.5 springs changed out for 3.5")
SYE / Double Cardan Shaft
4.56 Ratios
7" Flares
15 x 8 Pro Comp Steel Rims
33's (Still deciding what ones...any recommendations welcomed)

Then eventually...
ARB Air Lockers front and back
Snorkel
Somewhere to hide when the debt collectors come knocking
ARB Bull Bar
IPF Lights
Handheld UHF (any recommendations also welcome)
...and probably by this time a small car that runs on a sniff of an oily rag due to oil prices...

Will get some 'before' pics up soon...

Big thanks to Rodge, and indirecty to Wooders, for helping me organise everything so far...

I like your decision to run the 4.5" kit with 3.5" coils. Cant go wrong with RE too.

Look forward to seeing the pics.

Rear has got quite a bit of settling to do. Might need some coil spacers in the front to level it out. So you have done the sye yeah?
