I wish! I'm sure 14mm spanner is common on a jimny. I'm a field engineer and would love to travel that light.

Fitted new kingpins, again. Also fitted new swivel seals.

As my 4WD still isn't working and work's a lot more 'off road' now, looking to getting some manual hubs... Hopefully that'll solve my problems :unsure:
