2002 Jimny JLX - Project "Lets get muddy"

Phone or not, ace pics Nick

I'm just about to fit a 2" lift onto mine.... does this mean I have to do something extra to reinstate the self-centering ?

Sorry for the hijack :whistle:

Yes, you'll want to fit caster correction bushes. Available from big Jimny etc. I might for some eventually but I'm used to skittish wheel alignment on my sprint car so it doesn't bother me much.

In that case I'll get right on it .....thank you

A steering damper can help with the feel.

I relocated my front axle to reinstate the caster angle.....after fitting a steering damper all day long laning is quite sedate.....with thumb resting on the wheel where before I spent hours with white knuckles gripping the wheel!

Think I'll add a steering damper to the shopping list then!

Definitely do. It's the by far the best mod I've made so far.

Agree first one I bought for mine

Another mad sunday of greenlaning.

Paintwork got ruined but a bit of t-cut seems to bring it back. The right side of this photo is what the whole car looks like, the left after a quick polish by hand.

Bought a rotary polisher and spent today de-scratching it and giving it a good clean.

My mate had some ramps he didn't want anymore. Time for an axel flex photo or two!

Fitted my CB radio and wired up my roof lights.

And finally went out shopping and found another Jimny!

So Roger, a fellow MX5er, bought a Jimmy a few weeks a go to but had been suffering overheating problems. He'd fitted a new rad yesterday so today we thought we'd combine a pub lunch with our better halves and a short test and see if his overheating problems had gone.

Roger managed to knock a tyre off a bead.

Hi mate, great thread. Looks like you have lots of fun with your Jimny! Glad to see that and the photos are an awesome addition.
