What's next 1.6 ??
Nah, no engine upgrade for me, rather do it with the gearing, hence the new transfer box on the way...

Hmmm, yes, but I quite liked the silver, but couldn't continue it when the black Defender arches went on... kinda think a black lower half would look good now though?... we'll see... but as you say, it's a 'laner and will inevitably get (more) scratches...
I originally had smaller Maxxis Trepadors on this Jimny, they were sold to Martin for his son's Jim'... very nice on the road, we'll see how the big ones perform offroad... interesting to note that Rob Butler from the ORA is running hooge ones on his race buggy these days?...
yeah Maxxis Trepadors are the big thing on tyres for Ultra 4 racing these days. Almost all race trucks have them fitted. And also a lot of challenge trucks use them. But the comp spec bias type hardly compare to the radial type trepadors. Just look at the sidewall.. way more aggresive on the bias Treps. And they also come in sticky compound. And now available in 42"

Custom 316 stainless steel panhards from ROCKWATT... the front one is kinked to fit around my Zanfi Dropped Pitman Arm "problem" * where it fouls on the existing panhard after it was also dropped using a Zanfi panhard relocation bracket *...
*they normally fit left hand drive vehicles to be fair, they are now working on right hand versions

Must be some perks to running B4V?

Perfect! Kinks down enough to pass the drop pitman arm when it's refitted, and out a touch to squeeze nicely past the diff pan...
ROCKWATT quality once again...!
In two minds whether to get the rods powdercoated as they are stainless steel, almost a shame to cover them?

Looks like I'll have to drop the steering damper bracket a bit to suit too...
I noticed the other day that Zanfi fit theirs to the back steering bar -
And into the radius arm...
Think I'd rip that off on a rock pretty quickly though? :woohoo: :whistle:

They worked well too, although I think I do need some front mud flaps fabbing up like Brett (Maverick) has -
