wheel arch extension

I had some std Wrangler arches spare so have put the Wrangler rears on the front of the Jimny as the tyres stuck out too far. The rears are a good shape for the front, and I think I will probably put the Wrangler fronts on the rear as they seem to lend themselves better to the rear.




The roll cage makes it a bit more difficult and I have now tied the bottom piece into the arch. I think it would look better if I trimmed the wing back a bit more so that you don't see it as much. I didn't do it initially as the wings are pretty flimsy anyway but the arches have stiffened the wing up.

Nice 1 mate if y going to have a winch have a big one lol i like your thinking on discreet fitment to same as mine why hide it away down low and buried befind the bumper all nice a wet covered in mud and getting soaked evertime you drive thru a inch of water or stick it up out of the way nice job

I only bought the winch recently - its a Superwinch EP9 and was £300 from a company in Uxbridge Middx. The plasma rope and fairlead weren't included but it came complete with a new steel wire etc. It had a new motor fitted as the original had burn't out for some reason.
This is where it came from and they have a few more at that price

As you say its better to get it mounted high and out of the mud and crud if possible. I'm doing a winch challenge with it - a fairly low key affair - Easter Sunday. Hope it works ok!

Thats what my truck is for to going to go upset few landy boys hopefully :laugh:
what have you done about the battery and charging ? she will pull a lot of power ive just ordered 50mm sq cable for my 8274 can pull 400amps plus if its working hard

How much rope have you got on that winch Dave?

150ft of 11mm plasma think that should be enogh to get me out of trouble
