How do you find the ride on your green one (I deleted the pic)? I've got E-rated tires as well, and I'm trying to see if other people's spring/shock setups are at least decently comfortable. I'm looking for new shocks and springs, saw your signature.

Honestly the ride is terrible compared to either the classic or white disco. It's the E rated KO2s. I actually have the big blue springs on my classic now and some britpart yellows on the green one (they aren't great but the ride was unchanged between the springs). I've had 3 different springs and 2 sets of shocks on this car and ride almost never changes, which is how I've narrowed down to the tires.. If you load the car up enough the ride softens somewhat. A stock D2 just doesn't weigh enough to ride well on E-rated imo (also not a KO2 fan...) and can't wait to replace them if the KO2s ever wear down enough to warrant buying a new set.

They’ll take a while. KO2’s last a long time.

Some impressions from my tour through the Sierra Nevada.

Lunch break at the Rubicon trail (not that I did the whole trail, there is relatively easy access from Barker pass to the Rubicon trail).


Early morning in the East Sierra Nevada.

Drive up into the Mt Hood National Forest on a perfect fall day - Forest Roads #16 &18 through to Hood River - next project is getting the 2" lift fitted and some new tires!
