Especially on Nibthwaite, Sadgill, Grizedale, and a few 'others' ... can't wait!!


The special tracs were fine, just im nearly 30 and I want comfort so I decided on 31' maxxis bighorns. I cant wait to go laning up the lakes! But sadly my m16a wont be in by then.

Yesterday looked into as to why my swivel was leaking, all bearings are as new but the oil seal was shot even though not very old. So awaiting new seal and if it goes again i'll change the axle. I hope it was down to old wheel bearings I replaced recently even thought they didn't seem that bad. Cant see if its a bent axle :-(
So dicided to stick my tax disk in the window.

Made a good start my diff and t box breathers. The t box breather was a complete pig of a job! In the end I had to drop the t box down to get at it. However all the pipes are attached to the breathers now just need to run them into the air box :)

Jumped in the jimny this morning at 7am to be greeted by a slight rattle/knocking
It went off when the engine warmed up...

Same again on the way home, so climbed underneath when i got home. Both exhaust mounts had rusted to the point they were doing very little... one totally broken. So got some jubilee clips and made a temp fix.

Took the keys out to check whether my temp fix had done the trick and BRUMMMMM the cat is blowing. The little bit of extra movement in the pipe must have broken through where rust has set in.

New cat and mid pipe this weekend for me :unsure:
