Take care out there halford, remember despite how much we love our Jimnys they are just a lump of metal. My girlfriend has borrowing my jimny after her battery went flat in her car. I replaced it and now she won't give the jimny back. She loves it but I do worry about her driving it.

did this morning :blink:

06.00 this morning black ice along A69, never experienced it before - traveling West ended up sliding along A69 in the middle of the road with the car 45 degrees to the direction I was traveling in. luckily controlled it by lifting off the gas and steering into it and when finally managed to straighten the car at 40mph, popped her into 4WD - which gave another little shimmy, then eased back onto my side of the road. During this "bricking it" occurrence, noticed 3 vehicles smashed up on the other side of the road and debris.

was just so lucky I hadn't been a minute earlier or that there was anything coming during my slide.

just discovered that an hour later there was another smash at the same location ... a chap in a Jimny killed :(

Had four Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S tires fitted (had a few small scares similar to Halford), got home and did kingpin bearings and oil seal on drivers side.
Been putting it off for ages but tire fitter reckoned it was better done sooner rather than later. And I don't think he liked getting plastered in greasy gunk while fitting the tire.

I made them out of copper brake pipe and vacuum hose didn't take very long and a pretty easy job
