the bolts on the back bits of the seat tend to go rusty tho as they stick out the bottom of the car,bit of copper grease will stop that tho.

And all that lifting!!!

I do love my Jimny though and one other advantage I have with a Jimjam is that it fits in my garage & can still be jacked up & worked on in the warmish & dry.

That's how I ended up keeping my SJ for 20+ years and I wish I hadn't sold it but it was manual (though a lovely gearbox) and it did not have power steering (though I wish I'd kept the thing and modded that). And in the end it is worth more as a vehicle to use than to sell. I have had mostly 'keeper' motors generally around 10 years per.
You have my respect with the task of putting the rear seats back in as and when, like the ARB, the choice for me is either always on or always off period. I could never use my Jimny as a main car - it'd drive me barmy at my age.
