Very nice.

The polybush is from your shop?

And an advise, try to see if you can fit a balljoint to the arms bush position, at the chassis side of the arm.

Mach way better articulation. I have in mine and 3 years now works perfect.

And a ''stupid'' question about breaks,

if we convert the rear breaks from drums to disk's the abs is no longer engaged, correct?

I want to go for rear full foat axleshafts and disk break convertion but i dont't want to lose abs.

With fedima cross tyres has saved me a lot from accidents.

Whats gonna happen with "stealth" then Dave? :unsure: is the buggy idea being totally scrapped? I've seen on the shop blog that your gonna be offering the body kit for sale - does this mean "stealth" will be gone for good? :( :(

Hi Nelson,

Yes, as explained in my blog I haven't got the time / space / money to run four Suzukis... So the idea is to get back down to two... the new GV on the road, and the Jimny off the road.

Zukhini, my LWB barge has 128k on the clock and scraped through it's last MOT, so I'm going to drive that for the next few months whilst building the Jimny, and breaking the buggy for parts... and then at the end break / sell the Vit on too..

It all came to a head on Sunday when I was lying in the rain under the Jimny, with a brand new large garage with the buggy in it, so I said to the wife that I'd swap them round so I can work in comfort at any time... and that brought up the question of whether I'm ever going to get time to work on it and finish it... answer, probably no... so it's time to sell it in bits and recoup some money, as I've spent a fair bit on the Jimny...

Saying that, I have - whilst the buggy has been in the garage - done Zukhini, the new GV, and the Jimny various lifts...

So, time... at my time of life (46) to concentrate on one vehicle, 'laning with my mates, blogging our trips, and maintaining the Jimny...

There's also the daughters... eldest is 17 on Friday, so that's another car to squeeze in somewhere, and then she's off to Uni' next year, then the little one is only 18 months behind her, so more and more expenses looming on the horizon too..

Still, be on here more now I'm modding and 'laning the as yet un-named Jimny....... ;)

Yes, poly bushes came from stock... I did pay for them though ;)

Hmm, yes, presume the ABS would still work with disks on the back?... someone more knowledgeable will be along soon...
