Stripped the half dry paint from the second rim to be painted as the fox that lives in my garage decided to use the still wet rim as a rubbing post last night.

Now thinking about getting my shotgun licence again ...

Went green laning to night in the dark for the first time ever. Really good going through the woods of Surrey. No real good photos though as my phone is not very good in the dark :angry:

It sure is, will do it again for sure. The lanes were quite dry so not a lot of mud but rutted and bumpy, more than a normal car could drive down. There were a lot of serious looking mountain bikers out as well. Most were grateful for me giving way, some not :angry:

I did get a big clonk underneath only to find fresh exposed metal on my radius arm mount. No serious damage but it has served as a reminder that I could do with some more armour!

i had a go at that in hampshire the other night and my spots went dead half way down a lane so also found out my head lights are useless for lanning at night

Found a full tin of waxoil in my Uncles shed. Now how do I get it from the tin into the Jimny without spending £40 in Halfords for the attachments and a special tin to fit the pump?

Fitted a set of Ignis Sport Recaros. B)



Look the biz and are so comfortable! They should have been an option on all Jimny's!!

Possibly the best mod I have done. Provides a much tighter feel, letting you know that the vehicle is doing beneath you and longer journeys are going to be a pleasure.
