I replaced the gates power steering belt for a dayco one. It's as if gates made their's from plastic not rubber it is so hard a compound, I'm sure it would have lasted the full service interval as the boy in the shop said it would but the random squealing even at the correct tension was really gripping my nerves. The dayco may not last quite as good but it is made of actual rubber and so far it is nice and quiet.

I fitted some solaplexus window tints to the rear, they weren't too hard to slide into place. I didn't need to use the sticky panel stickers as the fit was tight enough. I went for a drive and they don't move or make a noise. Just need to wait for a sunny day to see if they make a difference, could be waiting for a while.

EDIT: You can't really see it in the windows, but they look pretty good. Also, I've only done half of my 2" suspension lift, postponed the front of the jimny until the icy weather is past. That's why it looks a bit like a wacky racer.

2" Trailmaster suspension lift, 2"body lift, snorkel, full breather kit, 29" steel wheels with BFG tyres, tinted rear windows, CRT CB radio with modulator antenna mounted on rear, dog cage and tray in the back.
