Today I have mostly been fitting new discs and pads and now for the first time in 2 years the car is actually quite nice to drive, it still fidgets on road imperfections but it no longer tries to kill me when I reach 50mph or when I get on the brakes. Result.

Temeraire (2018 quasar grey automatic)
One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.

Problems with ruts? a few trips out on the Plain in my Vit convinced me that 33s are almost essential for some parts of it. I spent most of one day towing out a Vit on 235s.

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

ya ruts and deep mud, the jimny hates it and the clutch is to week any amount of stick and it slips (brand new exedy) i mite put a race clutch in next time
the mud up there at the moment is like glue for some reason, bits i usually drive straight through were a problem and for the first time my brother in his pajero drove straight past i wasn't happy
lots of work and money to go for 33s

think i mite park it up for a wile, absence make the heart grow fonder and all that

it was a nice day out tho

Fitted my new steering damper today. Has stopped a lot of the wandering and the steering feels more assured :-D

Declared it SORN :(

I'm using my reasonably priced Liana day to day so only use the Jimny around the farm at the moment. No point paying tax and insurance if it never goes on the road! It also gives me a chance to consider if I'm going to modify it at all before getting a new insurance policy.
