If you have the MK1 rear bumper, then these are the best recovery points to have. :P :P :P :P :P

I re-drilled the original brackets to sandwich the chassis with the new recovery points, also getting the bolt into the bottom hole on the chassis required someone skinny to reach into the chassis rail, so I welded a piece of bar to the bolt so I could get the bolt in place and to enable me to tighten it all up.

These are not on the ORA website, But contact ORA if you want some ;)






And my Jimnybits snorkel



I was very pleased this fitted within my rollcage! Thanks Russ ;)

Edit: Thank god I've a roll cage, my jimny is on its side! :lol: :lol:


Thanks :) Looking good.
Sadly, looks like these recovery points won't fit my Jimny as I have fitted a towbar. Still have the original bumper. But perhaps one day, ORA makes a rear bumper with recovery points welded on, like the front bumper :)

The newer rear bumper has recovery points similar to the front bumper. I'm not sure if it would fit with a towbar. But worth a look.

Fitted my Impreza seats yesterday. Thanks to Sponnie's how to guide which took a lot of guesswork out of it and saved loads of time (it was still a chew on lining everything up mind).

This morning I finished off fitting the spring spacers so the lift is now complete & while the front bumper was off I gave that a bit of nip & tuck plastic surgery.

I removed everything back to the bare floor and sanded it back to almost bare metal then applied rust converter to any dubious surface rust. This left a few small (4cm x 4cm) holes to weld up. I also gave it a first coat of epoxy mastic 121 from rust.co.uk before welding the small holes and applying the final coat tomorrow:
