I’ve had a busy day. And now have a list of jobs to look at on the Jimny. 2 weeks ago I done the near side wheel bearing. Car was quiet for a week then I could hear the other side grumbling so today I set about a wheel bearing swap all done and dusted 
but I could hear a blow from the exhaust
made a temp repair but I now need a new front centre section.
Checked the rear engine mount (the gearbox one) and it separated
And the long transfer box mount has given up the ghost too!!! I’m glad I found out now but man. My poor wallet.
I’ve got a wanted ad for a transfer box mount if anyone can help me out.

Cheers Thanks for the offer but I might have just sourced a full set of new HD mounts since posting. Thanks for replying Dan.

Today, I mostly fitted some replacement seats
Huge thanks to CAElite for sending a set of front seat cushions to replace my terribly collapsed drivers seat which was so bad you could feel the metal frame sticking into your back - so much so that it was even picked up as an MOT advisory
OLD collapsed seat back....
Replacement seat cushions fitted
Please ignore the mucky looking mat
...that was some of the degrading foam that broke up and fell out of the old cushions!
Again, my thanks for your help CAElite

Managed to eventually get my 235's fitted to the rims I had lying around...
Had to trim a tiny bit off rear of front arch. It is still a close fit, but am comfortable that it won't be an issue. It looks like it will catch in the pic, but the angle is deceiving:

I’ve been on a 350 mike round trip to pick up some fourtrak wheels I bought on eBay, holding off on fitting them until I decide on a tyre size. Not bad for 75 plus fuel though
