Another video fom Bingen

Bignen has sent in this video from the Phillipines

So as you will have seen from my last post, I have some Trailmaster Diesel springs. Here they are alongside the originals.

As many of you will know, BigJimny has been languishing in the garage awaiting a rebuild. This followed a final, destructive run in which everything finally broke!

Previous posts show me dismantling  the rear axle and getting some brackets from Rob at Offroad Armory welded on.

However work stopped at this point as other activities got in the way.

Well, we are now moving house (the sale is under way) and I have a Jimny in the garage with no axle! Therefore I need to get it back to rolling status in order to get it on a trailer to move house.

I have always thought my Jimny was too heavy and the sagging springs and broken axle seem to support this theory. Therefore I have always had an eye on the TrailMaster Diesel springs as these are for Jimnys with the heavier diesel engine. With the weight of the winch and the winch bumper up front and the roll cage, I have always thought these springs would be more suitable for my Jimny.

Therefore I picked up a set of the diesel springs from my second favourite supplier (I am sure I will be forgiven for saying that as, of course, BigJimny is my favourite!)

Over the next couple of days I will complete the move to a new server. It will probably be tonight.

The new server is built and is located in London. (Thanks to Vaxxi for the recommendation)

At present I am having a couple of file permission problems (For you Unix guys, a raw backup from one type of server to another type of server always gives file permission problems)

When the transfer occurs you may get some weird issues as the DNS record update creeps around the world.

If this is the case then www.test.bigjimny.com already points to the new server so is a backup way of accessing the service.

Once on the new server then everything is in my hands, but it may not be smooth running at first.
