But to counter the COG effect, you can increase the width of the track .. offset wheels / spacers. This will give you better stability.

Well it appears in superb condition. The guy who owns it is a real car enthusiast, had everything from rally cars, fast road cars, land rovers, suzuki's. He perfers the zook to a landy too. Story is its just too small to fit the dog in and the grandkids now they want to start going off shooting with him so he bought a grand vit on friday which is equally as immaculate as the jimny. Hes showed me what it failed its MOT on, all the invoices for the parts and work done. Hes done everything himself including renewing the vacuum pipes for the 4wd as P/O never used it and they'd rotted away. The only thing is it needs telling that the 4wd is fixed, the light flashes intermittently thought its solid when 4wd is engaged and it IS in 4wd. Its also got that brr in 2nd but thee clutch deffo isnt slipping and t box is sound so a UJ is highly likely. He said you lot could tell me how to trick it into knowing the 4wd is fixed? :)
