Mac and Smiffy took ASBOJimny on its first outing last weekend to Drumclog - Scotlands premier off-roading site. As you can see it showed the Toyota Surfs what a real off-roader can do.....

A modification sent in by Chris - Many thanks.
As my Jimny is also my daily drive, one of the things that I don't always enjoy is the lack of useful storage space. This led me to conclude that the concave space in the rear door needed to be used, otherwise it is wasted space, so I made this little modification...
The net cost me £6.31 from ebay (including postage) and I've used about 1/4 of what I bought, the bungee cord came with the net. The little tabs are made from cheap nylon webbing, to make 8 of them used about 1.5ft of strap. By taking the door card off I was able to drill through and use washers on the back side to give the whole assembly a lot more strength, which I hope will prevent the nuts from pulling through the plastic door card. It's ideal for holding waterproofs, hi-vis vests, gloves, shopping bags etc, and they will fold flat into the door if the boot is full of other stuff

Here are some pictures of Smiffy and Macs ASBOJimny build. As you can see they started with a standard Jimny only a couple of weeks back....
So why "ASBOJimny"? Well its registration has the letters ASB in it and for those of you who are not in the UK an ASBO (Anti-Social Behaviour Order) is a warning issued to people who are deemed to be acting "Anti Socially" - so I guess this is going to be a monster!.....

Chris has sent in these pictures of his Jimny on its first green lane adventures. At present it is standard, but watch this space as he wants to develop it further and it will be nice to see it change.
For more pictures - see below
(And for anyone who hasn't sent in pictures of theirs yet - why not - drop me a line through the contacts section of this website!)

So the loud clonk (see HERE ) has been located.
I took off the wheels and removed the rear trailing arms. At first the arms looked ok, whilst the rubbers show signs of wear they are certainly not worn out. However a glance back at the mounting point showed the real source of the problem....
