Kirkynut's Jimny (aka Daddy's Tractor) - The Evolution continues...

Greenlaning day in Essex 26/03/12:

Kirkynut

On it's side on 08/05/2011 at Essex and Rochford District Off Road Club where we used to go:

Guess who did it!

Checking her work!

Is it a smile or a grimace?

The damage - it remains to this day!

I gave up trying to do that but fortunately most of my pics were taken direct from PC and not on 'bucket. However I still lost loads.

I took these on 06/09/14 to show where the Jimny was at that time in terms of modifications. It remains largely the same now but with some stickers gone and some new ones added.

Rocklobster transfer knob on custom bent rod.

The interior. It has half leather and the back seats are still in.

The crap I carry in the boot!

My front diff guard made and welded on by my mate Grant, who did the front bumper and cage too.

The winch is an old Superwinch 9500 with a Bowmotor 1.

Woffle boards and the shaft of my ground anchor mounted on the roof. The ground anchor was also made by Grant and is a smaller version of Devon 4x4's one. The blade for it is in the boot.

The vacuum hubs are long gone, so this pipe on each side keeps water out.

Blocking the vacuum pipe with a bolt stops the 4wd light flashing on the dash and debris being sucked in.

Fixed hubs mean nothing to fail. I have some SH Freewheeling hubs I will fit one day with a spacer ring but I have no real need.

I've managed to get some thread repairs done up to page 8 tonight!
