I don't see any reason why they shouldn't. I bought an X-brake from Simon and it is certainly a well made piece of kit, I did struggle with the fitting of it but only due to my lack of mechanical experience, which is improving by the day :)

I will take another look at lights nearer the time, now I have just spent out on the jack etc I don’t really have any spare cash to spend.

Mark I plan on fitting front and rear recovery points with Shackles to lift from as well as some rock sliders. I bumped in to a mate of a mate the other day who is a steel fabricator and has load of steel box section kicking around that I can use and he is happy to help me make what I need and do all the welding! I will update the tread in My Jimny with some detailed drawings once I have had time to work out exactly what I am going to do, it’s all in my head at the moment :unsure:

Cheers mate, that’s a fair size set of stands!! Fortunately if I ever need to work on it I will just take it down to John and use one of the ramps down there. :whistle:
