Thanks Gadget,
Nice pics, not remotely interested in the Italian made Raptor sliders. My experience of Italian made hardware (through motorcycles) is it rusts, but quick. Rust pushes through the thin powder coat and all looks awful. Your Jimny-bits ones look great and it's entirely possible that your photos have just cost me 300 quid.

Gadget,
I've had a look around the shed to find something that weighs 30k.
I have a 10hp outboard motor (a very capable little thing) and that weighs in at 27k.
These bars sound like serious overkill, you should be ashamed of yourself.
I'm ordering mine now.

I know I am a fine one to talk (see picture), but the main advantage of the jimny is that it is lightweight.

Would I do this to a jimny again, probably not as the moment the going gets tough it sinks! Watch the weight!

You're not wrong. The last toys I bought for Dreadnaught are still sat in stores because I can't justify the weight against the potential benefit and they only weigh 3.5kg. Add lightness!

One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.

:laugh: :laugh: :woohoo: my thoughts exactly. They do look like the real McCoy, certainly not cheap flimsy knock offs. I can’t wait to see some pictures of them on the J-Wagon, I’ll be getting myself a set if they’re not too obtrusive!!
