Few pics from a recent pay and play, another coming up this Sunday, can't wait! :woohoo:
On our way:
My truck:
No action shots unfortunately!
My buddy's truck:
But this game isn't for faint hearted..I suffered some serious damage during the day:
The truck has new wheels and tyres now, 205/16's
Kingpin Highlander Diamonds, same as I had on the front on the 15's, wicked tyres.
They don't rub either...
Seats are in, massive improvement over standard, and being leather they're easier to wipe clean
This 'fell' off too :whistle:

How difficult it is to fit those seats? Do they fit "as is"? Or do you have to weld/drill in order to bolt them properly?

Far from direct fit.
I have kept the original jimny floor bolts, and the original Saab 93 seat bolts, but had to make the brackets in between. They're far from a perfect fit/mount, but are so much comfier than standard
I can also unbolt them and remove them if needed using original floor bolts

I bought this black(ish) cage'd Jimny !
My shell was VERY rusty, the work to save it would have been extensive, and I wanted a cage or some sort of roll over bar, just by chance I stumbled upon this, for a price I couldn't say no to, was cheaper than purchasing the materials to make a cage for mine, let alone the time, the time to fix body etc.
Plan is swapping over all my suspension, engine etc into this one, solid shell, solid chassis and cage all done ready for me, much easier than sorting rust and building a cage, which I would have to pay to be done
