Today I have been mostly refreshing the preload on my kingpin bearings. Just the slightest hint of thinking about maybe possibly kinda starting to wobble, which is not to be tolerated.

Oh and as far as I am concerned there's a special place in hell reserved for those responsible for the need to have to deal with Jimny kingpin bearings.

Removing boring rubbers for the winter, embracing the spring, putting the fun loafers on it.
Love how you can Jack it up first the front and then the back not needing to Jack up four times
And yes Lambert, probably inviting my slight wobble back..

Yay, success! One very thin shim per side and there we go. Steering is nice and light like a city car should be but it doesn't kick back through the wheel on road imperfections. Result.

Last year I added just one thin shim on the bottom to postpone the full service on mine.
Suprised too find that it still is ok after a winter in the salty sludge.

Today I have mostly been at the weighbridge. 1140kg. Or rather somewhere over 1121 but not more than 1140. Which is actually less than Dreadnaught by 20 kg which is acceptable given the heavier gearbox and limited armour plating. Still doesn't give me a massive cargo capacity when I add in my everyday carry but I can work with it. Just means more trailer towing.
