The "jacking point" on the Gen4, just happens to be where the casing would be liable to crack.:whistle:

Hi Steve, Yes that looks like something Suzuki have thought about. Their solution is much smaller and lighter than my way (which is actually just a copy of the ones JimnyBits sell).
Is it the same on front and rear axles then?
Yes - but yours look far better! :laugh:

Thats good news about both axles having some improvements then. I wonder if the dimensions are the same :huh: I will have a measure and post some notes here over the weekend...
Managed to get home a decent time tonight, so into the garage
Stripped the old paint of these KAP radius arms (more cast-offs from J999MNY) and also a transfer box guard destined for Lambert. Quick clean and onto spraying. This is the second 4 litre raptor black kit just started and used 1st bottle. Discovered I had the spray gun set way too open on the last round of black painting, hence using too much paint and not getting far enough with it. Much better now ive got the hang of the spray gun settings. Expensive learning curve, but still way cheaper than paying a spray shop to do it thankfully :woohoo:
some piccies this time as well...

Yay! 
Finally finished spraying stuff
Last three bottles of the raptor is not quite enough. Have managed to get all the important stuff done, but was hoping to have spare to do all of the underbody. Managed to get a fair bit done, but another bottle would have finished it underneath totally. Also didnt have enough to spray the snorkel and wheel arches, but as these look pretty much the same anyway, I dont think it will matter.
I have one spare bottle of the red left, which I am saving until the cage is back on (incase of accidents fitting it).
Leave it all to dry and put back together next weekend (busy elsewhere tomorrow).
