Mines been finished for ages, I did wait a long time to get a snorkel at a decent price but generally I dont need one laning.
I made all the expensive mistakes on my first Jimny which was never finished.

I fill it up with fuel before I go laning, and wash it when i come back, thats it, just enjoyment now.

I've a massive spec list already, but there is also a massive list of things I'd love to do. I'd never be completely happy with it, as with anything.

I think I'm pretty much done with mods now, and enjoy it the way it is. Maybe just add a stronger rear bumper and rock sliders and find a better solution to storing a spare 31" tyre an that'll be it. It's so easy to keep spending on things that you don't really need... saying that I do always seem have a to-do list of jobs to do on the jimny.

Just fitted mine using o.r.a kit and had props made and all balanced but still get vibration I,m thinking its due to the transfer mounts ? Any idea,s


check the UJs, the smallest bit of movement can cause vibrations.

yeah it will do the job, i use one. i would recommend filling the pipes with sand and pack the formers for a tight fit, then they will bend a 90 degree bend nice. if you havn't used one before :)
