Finally got around to getting my J back together today. Clutch feels nice and meaty so pleased with that.

But the gearstick is all over the place, and I can barely get it into gear. After doing some WWW research, it appears it could be a dislodged bushing inside where the ball joint goes so I will have a look tomorrow.

Sorted gear change problem. A small plastic seat that the gear stick ball joint goes into had falled to one side. The J is now back in the game :-):-):-)

Out down the archery range today. Drives really nice especially with the K & N air filter.

But my 4x4 is not working, I think the hubs are stuck. Time manual hubs :-D

Just took the hubs off and they are clean as a whistle. The collars move smoothly so it's probably a vacuum or electric problem. Considering the state of the vacuum pipes it's not worth fixing so defo manual hubs after next payday.
