Bumper build

I think I could do with making some steel bumpers.

Although to be honest the plastic ones are proving very resilient. This popped back into shape and apart from the massive gash where the stick went through seems to be just fine.

Aye - just a bit of T-Cut will fix that

Dont get me wrong - I love reading all the stuff on the serious off-road machines; the "fat Jimnys" it's certainly something I myself would aspire to if it wasn't for me already being up to my neck in pre-war sports cars.
Some of the photos and in particular S200KYS blog was utterly fascinating.

If time and money was no object... I'd have a right proper Billy Bunter of a Jimny :lol:

I like the light weight version

1200 kg

:laugh:

I'm not hating on the heavier Jimny, I really aren't! I'm just making the point that it's a path that requires a level of commitment above and beyond just a steel bumper. Like I say I have no room to talk given my insistence on making mine into a fast road track toy. Anyone engaging in modifying their Jimny has my respect.

I also don't hate the heavy duty versions i really like Dave's,Brett's,Riccy's too
Dave and Brett could easily bounce off trees where as mine would be extensively damaged
also love the look of external cages
I have an obsession with keeping it light removing the front seats in favour of buckets saved me around 40kg
After dropping a front door on my foot on removal they must be near on 50kg each (steel toe caps on )
Dose anyone know if jimny was produced with wind down windows no motors less weight lol

Go the whole hog jack, strip the doors out to just skins and fit perspex with sliders, be like going to weightwatchers.......
