That Turkish company looks like it just makes a straight replacement grill for the SJ80 out of "unbreakable" plastic.
I still think there will be issues with headlight size & location and lets not mention the metal work at the bottom corners.
I'm still holding out for Rhinoman's facebook page contact

You don't want a coily.......the suspension set up it terrible plus they aren't easy to find parts for as they don't share certain drivetrain components with other SJs

There are lots of coilies here, all jap imports.... they are more comfortable to ride in than standard leafers, but not by much.
As scottie says, finding parts is a problem. ... and they don't have fold down screens.
... and if you want to upgrade the suspension you pretty much have to upgrade the whole lot and I've spoke to people who have spent say €2000-3000 on a better set up.

Ouch, I need new leafys as mine are almost inverted downwards now (sat still for 3 years before I had it) and I'm not sure which ones to buy? Any pointers for a slightly comfort ride?

I've got some +2" fronts from Llama 4x4 and they are pretty good although I'm not sure if he still does them. Slightly longer than stock so a bit more comfy, but needed custom shackles
Just avoid the springs made by lesjofors. They are shit

He is on the Suzuki Samurai 2.0 page, I don't remember his name.
Any luck with remembering who it was on SS2.0 or finding the facebook page ?
