What did you do to your jimny today?

I replaced rear door gas spring..

The original spring oil lost and fails to work

place a similar one "made in Argentina"





Works well

I fitted a spring spacer to the front driver's side of mine to correct the lean created by my fat arse!

Now it's nice and level!

Took my Jim for a bit of a play in Wigan mud with a group from another forum and had a great day making him all muddy again also spotted a blue jimny there aswell

I fitted some swivel type spinning recovery points to clear the lower edge of my ORA bumper.

I like those, where are they attached ?

Where can I get one of these and how do I fit?

Thankyou

I fabbed the boxes up using 3mm x 80 x 80 box section then welding a 6mm 80 x 80 end plate on and drilling a 37mm hole through the centre of the end plate for the stainless steel cylindrical shackle mount to slide through from the rear.

The shackle mount is held in place with a circlip.

I then welded each fabbed up box to the bottom of the rear chassis leg ends. The 3mm 50 x 50 box section running between the chassis legs is just there for extra lateral support.

Looks very nice Mike but get the front end sorted out first :laugh: :laugh:
Did you get your rosé joints sorted out?

Today I opened the bonnet and thought about fitting the new engine, I stood and looked at it for a few minutes then decided that was a job for another day. I did top the washers up while the bonnet was up though

Yeah your right Rich. Just need to get 1 rose joint for the steering and awaiting some bits from Martin. Should have everything in a couple of days fingers crossed.

Then got the full weekend off weekend after this.

Last night and tonight under the J trying to changing one of the TB oil seals. Bloody wet and cold, still not finished. Would be far easier if I had a workshop and could take the whole thing out into the warm and dry

Finished oil seal tonight. Got soaked as it p155ed hard (again, as with every night this week).

Was in the shower feeling please with myself then realised I hadn't crimped the flange locking nut :pinch:

Will be underneath it again tomorrow night.

What a tool
