Default New Trusted Supplier - japanese4x4spares.co.uk

Guys

As you know I've had a real bee on my bonett recently regarding Milners and the quality of their kit and been looking for somewhere else similar that specialises in Japanese 4x4 bits.

Today I found these guys - http://www.japanese4x4spares.co.uk/

I can't believe that they are a 5 min diversion on my route in and out of work I've passed by their place hundreds of times in the past year and a bit and never knew about their existence

Popped in today and met they guy that runs the show, his name is Rob, really nice genuine, salt of the earth kind of guy, I'm going to try and establish more of a relationship with them and hopefully you guys can start putting some custom their way

They don't stock as much as Milner seem to online however I've been inside and I can tell you that they will certainly be able to sort you out for bits and bobs.

Hopefully as time goes on and there is more demand for stuff, we can feed this back to Rob and he can start stocking more stuff that we frequently get through.

Get ordering guys and girls

Thanks for that.
I had a few things from them when I had the Paj, and found their delivery to be pretty prompt to.
I'm interested now in uprated springs for the Patrol, they have them in stock, and I'll give them first nod.

I've been looking for a place to buy some pro comp shocks from as I think jimny bits have stopped doing them. I might give these guys a call and see what they can offer.

Pro comps are a very soft off road biased shock.
Got them all round on mine and have no issues but don't tow heavy loads nowadays and don't think I'd want to with these on.
I've also used them in the past Banshee and as far as I can remember I've had no issues.

Cheers elty, Maybe not so good for towing the van with then. They do do monroe adventure which seem to have good reviews. Its always going to be hard to find a shock that is hard enough for towing but soft enough off road without going to adjustable dampers.

I already have the rear 2" lift springs from them and had no issues and I thought it best practice to fit the shocks that go with them, but if they are like elty says I'm having second thoughts as I do mostly road driving and I tow a caravan. Saying that it's the springs that matter when towing so it's too late, I haven't towed the van with them on yet but I'll post on my truck thread when I do, I wonder how hard it would be to fit airbag spring helpers
