I need to make a plea out of the BIG Jimny Massive for some Lift assistance.

In 2 weeks time I am planning to fit the Body Lift to the Jimny.
Whilst im happy doing this myself, I donot have access to a welder to modify the gearstick/ TX lever and maybe the Steering.

Is there anyone out there who knows what they are doing with the equipment that could help me ? Im happy to travel and bring Beer as a thankyou

Well, im looking to get this done in the next week or so ... anyone in the south done it before ?

Im happy fitting the body blocks, but its the steering and the gear / tx selector that is going to give me issues.

Anyone fancy free tea / coffee & bacon sarnies ?

Hi, im in Andover, just up the road.

Ill be passing Yeovil tomorrow, but that will be in my TVR, as its off to Exter for a service.

Very interested to know how you get on. I really want to put the lift on, but the lack of skills and equipment means I usually have to pay others :(
