Got a "pay as you go" tracker for my caravan, which I have fitted to my Jimmy, simply so I can have a play and understand the "how and if" questions. Want to be able to enable it when I want, and not when I don't, simple.
Should work, but only my tests will tell.
My Jimmy now appearing as a dot on a map near you soon.

I took advantage of the good weather and took a picture of my Ivory Chiffon JB74, framed by the trees with the light dappling through the leaves.

Sorry didn't get many photos. Not sure if any made their way to Facebook. Would love to seem some more.
___________________________
Not strictly Jimny related for me. But my brother & I setup and ran an RTV trial at Whaddon over the bank holiday weekend. We setup as part of a Land Rover club, so used a standard V8 90 and a coiler 88.
The AROC club however allows other vehicle types. Including a couple of Jimnys and a Vit. The Vit did well on some sections, but I think lacked a bit of front suspension flex and ground clearance for the terrain. The other Jimny looked immaculate on fairly large wheels (sadly no pics from me). Although by the end of the day they had lost the front bumper, some sort of undertray pieces. A slipping clutch and some horrid noises from what appeared to be the front diff. Although they did do very well overall. And of course Groudworkers one above, who also got a brilliant 'clear' on the final section of the day.
The sections really showed up the different traits of the vehicles. On some the small Jimny's could get where others couldn't. The LWB Range Rover got a shunt which proved useful on some section, but let down by tyre choice. And the additional ground clearance of the Land Rovers helped them not get stuck in some places.

Rear bumper off, recovery points removed and given a fresh lick of smoothrite so they match the fronts. Also a bit of Kurust on the underside of the rear pumpkin, followed by some Buzzweld CIO.
