From road to ruin, my jimny project.

Looks a tidy extra ............................

That looks for the world like the genuine skid plate accessory.

Shame they don't really protect anything, as the steering arms ect protect the sump, and the gaurd doesn't go back far enough anyway. Sadly just aesthetic and extra weight :sick:

Saw one go on ebay not that long ago!

I did notice it was protecting about 6inches of clearance :sick: oh well.

Update time. My spacers turned up in the post courtesy of ne-crock and I managed to get them fitted last night.

Some before and afters.

















I took a drive out and picked up these from jonesyba420, theyre 195/80/15, not an aggressive tread pattern but should be better than what I have whilst keeping there road manners. Just keeping my eye out for another 3 similar tyres in the same size.
My plan at the moment will be to get these fitted and see what's what, then when the time comes that i need something more capable (no doubt whilst sitting up to my axles in mud waiting for a tow) il buy a second set of rims, fit them with a 80/20 type mud tyre and keep them for weekends and fun times :laugh:

I'm slowly getting through the task of painting my steels, only 2 more to go. I ordered a pair of tyres for the jimny too. 195/80/15 cooper discoverer at's. £63 each from camskill which I felt was very reasonale. Should be exactly what I'm after for now, some off road capability, not a huge disruption to fuel consumption, and a decent ride on the road.

They look much better than standard aswell.



I haven't decided wether or not to pen in the writing on the sidewall yet, what are your views?

Glad your happy with the tyres buddy. On doing the lettering suppose it depends if you want to look like a tart or not
