Have you got a photo of yours fitted OllieNZ ?

And how do they attach? Do I need to keep any fixings off the old bumper?

I'll stick a closer pic up later but there should be a couple in my Jimny thread. The only fixings I reused were a couple of the arch screws.

Pretty self explanatory really. The screw through the side goes straight into the body. The 2 in the arch go into the existing captive nuts. I did have to grind/bend/tweak the metal arch extension to suit. A standard slitting disc works well on the fiberglass if you need to trim the corners themselves.

Thanks Ollie!

No worries

Bit more today!

Finished the bodylift off... First the steering shaft went back in, then...



Everything else was refitted...

And then drove the Jim out to clean the garage floor... lots of mud had fallen off!





Looking better!





Transfer Box out, ready for the Rockwatt Rocklobster to go in, and I'd sold the old mounts through the for sale section of this fine board



Whipped the rear quarterlight windows out, drew round them and cut them out of the same tinted perspex that is going in the rear window of the fastback hardtop...



And then cut the rear window hole out!



Following the lines of the fastback as it narrows to the roofline...



Good rear visibility!
