Afternoon
My sills are looking a little tatty. I was thinking of replacing them with box section to make rock siders.

Has anybody tried this on a jimny before? Do you any pictures if you have ?
This is a common mod for discoverys.

Thank
Happy christmas

Many, many, many years ago, I had a school hols job at a local garage ‘helping’ the mechanics and pumping petrol (pumps didn’t have auto cutoff in those days, and in a, not uncommon, power cut, the cranking handle was dug out for manual pumping..
I was a handsome teenage lad in those days, and the old dears would often press a suspiciously warm shilling (5p in modern money) in my palm as a tip along with a knowing look (well, they knew what the look meant - me, I wouldn’t have a clue for a rew more years)
Anyway, I digress.
One day, Mike the mechanic called me over to an A40 van he was MOT testing. “Dodgy one here” he said.
The sills were coated thick with a black sticky bitumen.
He poked the sill with a screwdriver...it went straight through.
Scraped the black stuff away, and lo and behold...the sills had indeed been replaced with box sections...only these were made by Kellogs....
