Dave's "S200KYS" Jimny 'laner Build...

Up High Nibthwaite (to the photo above) -

That 1st bit was proper rocky. It would make a nice change for me as down in the south east we have mud,
mud and more mud.

'The Lake District - the Movie'

Edited all my clips into one YouTube video... an hour long! PG rating :laugh:

Finally sorted out my Death Wobble :laugh:

At first I changed -

The kingpin bearings, shimmed them a little whilst I was doing it...
All the front radius arm bushes
The bushes in the front panhard rod

But no, the Death Wobble was still there... :evil:

So this weekend I took off -

The Zanfi drop pitman arm
The Zanfi Panhard Rod drop bracket, and
The BENT* Bent Stainless Panhard Rod that Rockwatt made me to get around the clash between the two Zanfi products.

And then fitted a JimnyBits straight panhard rod and a stock pitman arm...

WOBBLE SORTED! :woohoo:

Zanfi bits to be sold...

Went for an hours test drive round some country 'lanes close to me yesterday (Sunday) after rebuilding it all, and have been around and about on errands today on the roads where I'd normally get a wobble...

Love for my Jimny rekindled! :kiss:



* I bent the bent panhard rod on the Machynlleth "Bastard Lane" trip, mentioned above

Hello! and Sorry! I've not updated the build / usage thread for far too long...

And so, an update...

No real mods done to the S200KYS Jimny since the last update really, just maintenance / inspections to keep it going whilst we've done the following trips -

Local Bimble on the 13/11/16

Strata Florida Area 27/11/16

Banking as the crow flies 28/11/16

Local (North Wales) Bimble 11/12/16

Our next planned trip is Staffordshire and the Peak District on the 22/01/17.

I should be fiddling again with S200KYS soon though, always something to do... :whistle:

Dave

Don't think there is another mod you could do to that animal is there Dave?
