So with everyone else sending in pictures of the modifications they are doing the question is...what am I doing with mine!

Being a committee member of TV4x4 we have been out surveying 4x4 sites for next years calendar. We recently visited Hogmoor which is a fantastic site, so the club will be booking it for a trial next year. The visit to Hogmoor showed that the standard Transfer Box (if you remember I am back on a standard box after the chain stretched in my Low Ratio Gearset Jimny Transfer Box) is not up to the job so I am starting to build up an SJ410 RockLobster ready to fit. I am producing the write up for this and hopefully this will appear in the new year.....

A rather nice Jimny from Robert Elliott who uses it for RTV trials.

The specification is:

2004 Jimny Mode
4.5" D+G Tuning lift kit
Lockrite rear locker
Rock lobster SJ transfer box (93% lower than standard Jimny low box)
Transferbox raised 1.5"
Heavy duty transferbox mounts
4 paddle performance clutch
Home made EXO cage, rock sliders, front and rear bumpers
KAP GRP front wings and bonnet
Yaesu 2 meter/70 cms amateur radio
Kenwood CB radio
Cobra Monaco black vinyl bucket seats
interior completely stripped out  (head cloth  the lot!)
rear spare wheel mount bolted to rear boot floor to help weight balance
235/85X16 Insa Turbo Special Tracks
Grand Vitara wheels with modified hubs by 30mm to increase width
Air intake moved to rear of engine bay to help when wading
Vacuum hubs still fitted but controlled by switch on dash so you can go from 4WD low to 2WD low and improve steering for \rtv trails at the push of a button and then back again without stopping.

Liam has sent in some pictures of his modified Jimny. The specification is:

Another black Jimny (must be a popular colour for off-roader conversions), this time from Phil AKA BlackJim.

Phil's is another from the KAP stable and sports the KAP 3" Spring Lift

I have had some problems recently. Everytime I release the clutch pedal when under load (ie. Steep hill or obstruction whilst off-roading/trialing) I got a loud BRRRT! noise from somewhere under the car.
