What did you do to your jimny today?

Fitted roof rack and removed back seats. Also added a few bumper stickers

I refitted one of the rear seats but had to attach the seatbelt to the seat bracket and bolt it there as the seatbelt hole didn’t want to keep hold of the bolt...realised I have a few bolts missing from the other seat so didn’t bother with that then went on to lunricating the front seats so they now move without needing a winch to shift them. Finally was going to pre lube the exhaust bolts but it seems some clever sausage has decided the exhaust flanges were pointless and just welded it together:(

Flat as a pancake, fine after a short charge. Starts up and I potter off to Halfords, they test the battery and find only 173ah cracking power.
The battery is rated at 330ah so it's toast, I chose the dearer battery at £91. 430ah jobby.

Young lady who did the test picked up the battery and off we potter to the till, my £91 battery is £100.......

Apparently the same battery with the terminals on the opposite way..... is £91, to fit the jimny it's £100.

I thanked the young lady for her help and muttered under my breath about corporate hoodwink advertising. Why is the poxy thing on the page of suggested products when I input my vehicle details, if it don't bloody fit. Just to get me to the store.......

If you pull the wires around it will fit a battery with the terminals the other way around. I have this on my Jimny
