The extra plugs are for elec brakes. You won't need them, it's only 22ft and I've seen a guy on YouTube pull another truck out a ditch, so you'll have plenty of power! Are you going to put a carbon fiber wrap on the hood? I saw on another thread here that you can make your own snorkel, with just some PVC and a couple air filters, I want to drive thru 6ft deep water.

One guy on here said he drives on the road without a sway bar. That should help drop some weight! I'm going to do that!

I think some people might be a bit bored/drunk and have nothing better to do. :whistle:

But if they are genuine queries I apologise.

Ok, just got out of the shop. They changed a little blue thing under my dash, took two hours but they only charged me for one, good deal! Plus parts of course and the fresh blinker fluid. They also gave me a box of oil that they said would keep the miles off, make my lights brighter, and keep the paint smelling good, but I'm confused as it didn't come with instructions! All that's in the box is a snake, now should I squeeze from front to back or back to front to get the oil out???

Oh yeah! That's the good stuff! I used it and my seat felt lighter on my other truck! How much did you pay for it? I paid 35.30 per box! I bought two just to be safe! By the way, I'm looking at the receipt and they charged me 4.50 for exhaust sample bags! They must have been generous that day, cause before I paid 20 even!

Anybody know where I can get some BA 1100 N TYRES? I hear they are high floatation, for the deep stuff, but I also hear they don't hold up to nails at all.

You can get them at most stores, we put some on the post box for my sisters birthday. They were quite the attention getters! Hey Juggernaut, your into camping and that survival stuff right? I have a huge crate of grid squares for sale! I paid 100 new, I've only used three I'll sell the rest for 50! It's a good deal! Better jump quik!

Yeah, I'll take them but won't pay more than 40! I was just thinking, thinner oil lets your car rev higher right? And if water is thinner than oil,.......OMG, I never cease to impress myself!!! I'm a genius! I'll probably add some water wetter, to keep the heat down.

Hey Jimnypusher, I've heard that you wanted to drop your Jimny a bit, for mileage of course. I've heard that on the samurais you can put the axle on top or under your springs! SOA conversion, look it up, it's on YouTube! Seems that with our Jimnys the spring is on top, just flip the spring to the bottom, instant drop kit!
