What did you do to your jimny today?

Fitted a Swift wiper stalk to my gen 4 to give adjustable intermittent front wiper feature. Thanks to @Bosenak for instructions.

After much deliberation and the application of the mitutoyo(sp) calipers I have forsaken the jaw and pin towing apparatus in favour of an alko one. The main reason for having the plough, sorry, jaw and pin was to match the drawbar height of my twin axle trailer but with it now having new suspension and by utilising the inbuilt tolerance in the actual tow bar on the car I have got the height difference to within 5mm so that should work. What this also means is that the departure angle is very very much improved. Winner winner chicken dinner.

Haven't a clue what you just said apart from chicken diner 

I've improved my rearward clearance by about 10 degrees while retaining the ability to tow a trailer.

Took my partners Jimny for its MOT today and it failed on a few things, some similar to Pete’s above.    It included under body corrosion near body mountings, brake pipes, a ball joint on the drop link, and a failed lambda sensor.  It may be the end for the Jimny this time but have posted details elsewhere at this   Link  including a query about the suggested need for continuous welding of patch repairs on body panels for which I’d appreciate ideas.

Today I have been thoroughly cleaning Temeraire and touching up the damage to the waxoyl. Ready for the salt.
