What did you do to your jimny today?

'Looks like we need bigger ramps'

Well after getting the Jimny replacement 'up together' I thought I would 'top up' the under-seal on the Vitara'.

The problem being the ramps I have used in the past were just not worth taking a chance on, so borrowed a set to get underneath today.
I gave the underside a good jet-wash yesterday morning followed with a short run to blow away any excess & left it out in warm air.

The Vitara has much more in the way of standard under-seal I've just given it an added coating.

Lovely

you've got the best colour

the wife's is light silver which maybe better for hidding dirt :whistle: but doesn't look right, and makes it look a much bigger car :blink:

I don't like the way the big back box is on display though, I scowl at it every time I walk past it on the drive, how sad :dry:

so how are you enjoying rattle free comfort again :lol:

Halford you should paint/spray it black

Not sure what you mean by that but I had the fright of my life t'other day. :ohmy: :woohoo: I went up one of my sets of ramps in my Junior and straight off the end. Thank the Lord the car is taller than the the ramps or they'd have been jammed under. But even luckier, I just missed the garage door wall; I had visions of a bent wing and smashed headlamps. Now I tend to jack the motor first and slip the ramps under or go up in four wheel drive.

I have or had a rattle can of 'high temp' black paint & was going to do just that, problem is it seems to have moved to another shelf in the garage ...... :whistle:

A tow-bar would cover it, I'll think on it ....

The yellow set I have used in the past are just not wide enough for these 'massive' 17" tyres .... :woohoo:
