Dave's la(te)st buggy build...

So pleased for you after all your efforts it must be rewarding to be able go further than the end of the street with a degree of confidence. Cooler than a cold thing in a freezer!

Thanks Lambert! Look forward to meeting you at last at the BigJimny Meet!

Well... the buggy's first successful day out 'laning, a Wednesday Wander as a final shakedown before again trying to rejoin the Jimny Jauntz group led by Brett in the Peak District this coming Sunday...

So, here's the BLOG -  jimnybuggy.com/2021/06/23/first-wednesday-wander/  

Enjoy! 

The only thing I felt was "wrong" with the buggy on Wednesday was that the front springs were a little too soft, and I felt the extended bump stops hit prematurely a few times unexpectedly... I'm currently running new standard OE quality Supflex front springs with a pair of (my) spring spacers on the top...

So a quick enquiry to Rus at JimnyBits to see if he'd supply me with TWO of the shorter front lift springs as a matched pair, I originally asked about trailmaster springs as I've always thought they are a very conservative +50mm lift, and I don't want castor issues as I am running original radius arms, and although I've got castor bushes fitted (it was a SuperPro kit I had in stock when Bits4Vits folded, so I bought it off myself?!) they are set to push the front axle a little bit forward, rather than in the castor correction positions. Hence requesting the two shorter springs, to avoid castor issues, hopefully!... Rus said there were supply issues from trailmaster though, as Martin has also indicated recently.

So a pair of JimnyBits +2" front lift springs and a pair of rubber spring seats have just been ordered, these will match the ones alreay fiitted to the back axle
 

A great days greenlaning in the Peak District / Derbyshire yesterday...

Here's the blog -  jimnybuggy.com/2021/06/28/the-peak-district/

27 greenlanes,Brett leading, John "Sniper", Kev and me in the buggy...

I got there, got round, and then got home, so I'm obviously as chuffed as a train!

See some of you at the BigJimny Meet real soon! I'd better get cleaning and polishing!
