Today's job - Change out the castor corrected radius arms for Jimnybits ones. The original ones I think were quite old and probably for a +2" lift, which was bowing the front springs, so I updated them to Jimny bits suitable for a +3" lift and new superpro bushes to compliment them.





At the same time the shock absorber lower mount had sheared off on the last green lane day, so I wanted to strengthen these. I started with Jimnybits front shock guards, but as these use the original mounts, I had to scrape off the plastic coating :-( and then weld in some angle iron to pick up on the lower shock mount.



I'm hoping to get it all fitted tomorrow

Phil

I've tried 5 times to upload the final pic - I give up, you'll have to guess how beautiful the welding was
