Not sure what DAB is :D I didn't spend much time choosing the item, just took the first universal window-mount antenna that had FM in its name and connected it to the radio.
It costs about 3 EUR here in Bulgaria.

The Jimny is in pretty good condition but it still needs good care if it is to last longer.

Scrub off the rust as good as possible



Followed by Wurth's rust converter



And after waiting for a couple of hours - Hammerite's black paint 3 in 1

Before and after:





This might not be the Best way to treat a bit of rust, but from what I have heard, this should do the trick.

Have you done a similar procedure? What was your approach? How long did the effect last (how does it look after an year or two)?

I use Hammerite under mine too and paint it yearly or every other year.

I think I shall look to get some Lanolin too at some point.

"Yearly"... To be honest, I was hoping that I won't have to repeat this procedure for a few years :D
Will I have to scrub off the old paint before putting another layer of paint on top next year?

Back to the Capability topic.
I transformed the Jimny into a tank underneath - 3mm steel everywhere :D

Fuel tank and transfer case guards from Jimnybits





Radius arms mounts and axles guards - custom made





And while we are at it - steel transfer case mount/stand

Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anybody is running a 5" suspension lift?
I noticed that with my 4inch lift there is simply no space left for the front driveshaft and is almost rubbing when fully dropped.
