Have been getting out doing some shock testing recently, and have been adjusting the shim stacks according to my USA forum research, here are the results, at 4.24 I hit a 2' lump at about 40mph....

You said you were going to lower the driver seat but isn't that a bit extreme?

Looks good but how does the body roll feel?

That's going to really bugger your winch rope. Maybe you should also think about putting it behind the headlights.

Finally got the rear shocks mounted a bit higher tonight :greggmo: and thus the cog has come down a bit, just got some weird fuelling issue now  :017:

We will be at the Welsh Xtrem in a couple of weeks if anyone fancies a giggle?

According to my 97 TJ owners manual its fuse 20 in the PDC, 20amp mini yellow.  Is there a picture in the lid of your PDC?

Had a fantastic time at the Welsh Xtrem, suspension was smooth, axles worked a treat, so what left to break.......oh yeah the spinny thing under the bonnet:


We even managed to win the night stage which bagged me an Ashcroft locker:-)
