Finally it's not standard

Thats strange - the wife also hates driving ours - even to the garage (but she loves her cherokee which is the same height) - must be the Jimnys smooth ride from the 31" special tracks :ohmy: , the taut 5" lifted suspension :sick: and the flat way it corners :side:

Had my wheels balanced with out the lead on the outside of the wheels and had bad death wobble at 35to 40 mph.:S
Then had the wheels rebalanced on the inside and outside of the wheels and had no death wobble.:laugh:

Its fixed :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Kinda the same problem as you had dirtydogz, mine were balanced on the inside only and I watched the balancer show zero when they were fitted.

Had them done again today somewhere else and got them to check the balance first, with the machine set up for weights on both sides: right hand front needed 85 inside / 90 outside and left hand front 70 each side :pinch: Balanced my a**e ! They were actually better with all the weights off and spun again :S Anyway, now properly done on both sides and no shake at all

Only weird thing was when the wheels were measured on the balancer, it came up that my 7x15's are actually 7.5x15 :huh: Oh well, not complaining

Added a couple of new fogs and shifted the ones it had up off the bumper, boredom + bank holiday summit was bound to happen to it :whistle:



Turns out the grille inserts are quite strong once they've been araldite'd in Bit of a difference compared to stock



Picked up a sheet of galvanised steel, so be turning that into a light duty bash plate this weekend to fit to the mounting points I found when the bumper got cut down. And tidy up the bumper trim and where the fogs were originally. And paint / underseal the front of the chassis / underside now it's visible and to stop it rusting anymore since Suzuki only bothered to paint most of it Probably be as well doing the whole underside while I'm at it... and cut off the the pointless front nearside tow point since it's just about closer to the deck than the axle and wire the new fogs up properly come to think of it. And shift the front number plate up. And if I get all that done it'll be a miracle :woohoo: Still to get it lifted yet...

The bumper trim was worth doing, even if I had no choice to get the wheels on. Had a play with it off road in same places it was smacking the ground before, cleared it no bother ( apart from the now cracked number plate, def needs moved up )and the Toyo's worked just fine :laugh:

And the missus still hates driving it

Could you please take some pictures to show the way you mounted the lights ? some interior pics of the front grill would be great. They look good and I plan to mount them in the same way.

Thanks VAXXi They need to be mounted right in the corners of the grille section with a large washer on the front behind the light mounting bracket and another behind on the inside. It was a bit trial and error, when I tried them in the middle of the grilles the plastic distorted and they wouldn't mount securely, the grilles themselves were bonded into the bonnet as they moved way too much otherwise. The grille slats still distort to a degree even with them in the corners, but it's not noticable behind the lights.

I'll get pictures for you this weekend when I'm connecting them up, I still have to figure out routing / securing the wiring to the front :huh: There's not a lot to attach it to.
