Confused here as there is no slot on the chassis rail of a Jimny where you can get a strap through as the rail is continuiosly welded to the car. Do you mean round the end of the suspension arms between the chassis rail brackets that hold the suspension arms on to the car and then round the jack arms, or did you put the straps round the other parts of the suspension arms and then round the jack arms.

You'll have to have another look under your Jimny auchenblae! Definitely a separate chassis,
Cheers from over the cairn,

PS there's an Edzell off road club trial event this Sunday at Balardo farm Forfar, I might have a wander over.

On the 8th Day God made the LandRover -
On the 9th day he swapped it for a Jimny.
