Pimp my ride
Mike installs OME shocks
To cope with the heavy load in the car as well as the difficult terrain in Africa and Central America, I knew I had to get some better suspension than the stock ones. I went wit Old Man Emu nitro charger shocks and heavy duty coil springs. This is some serious Australian equipment you need for a year of driving on rough roads. An Oregon company, metaltech4x4, import and sell OME shocks and springs in the U.S.
They shipped it to me and Mike from New BK Shop in Brooklyn took care of the installation. Count a grand for the complete setup.
