Would that be the "bigjimny" one? Will get one soon.

I got Bits4Vits, Big Jimny, Jimnybits, ORA ect I had to order my BigJimny sticker, I understand why Martin doesn't send them free with orders as the cost to have stickers made is not cheap. And most will end up in the bin, my jimny however will show all these.
But I will be more than proud to Place my Bigjimny sticker on my jimny when I get it back.
Great site and service Martin.

Sticker top trumps!

I've got among others - suzuki devil, bigjimny, bits4vits and a nice new bits4jimnys(cheers dave!) i need to order another to go on the other side though, the back door is filling up fast!

Hi all

Just fitted cc bushes. Its drives much better now. Still has the odd "twitch" when going along. But as we all know they dont put the castor angle back to normal, on a 3" lift, anyway so i wasnt expecting it to be perfect . As i said though its still loads better than without them.







Will get some pics with some mud on it soon.

Cheers

Hi all

Got the jimny muddy today. :evil: I went to Boxgrove pay and play. I learnt alot about what the car can do i what i can do. The car is probably more capable than me. :laugh: And yes i did get stuck. I went down a trenchl full of water and ended up grounding out in the middle, so the tyres just span. I could go back and forth a bit but the diffs just kept hitting, i couldnt get enough of a run up to get out of the hole i was in. Luckily the water was just below the door sills and the rear tow eyes where just out of the water as well. So with the aid of a highly modified landrover (thankyou who ever you where) i got out. Lets just say i wont going down to many water filled trenches in the future. :laugh: . I carnt wait till slindon now. Need to get practise in so i dont make a fool of my self at Wagtail.

A few pics






Nice and muddy. :evil:

Cheers

If it's where I think it is - everybody, even heavily modified Land Rovers gets stuck there! Even me!

Yeah i think its alot muddier than slindon, i havnt been yet. I have to say, getting stuck was rather fun. It gives you a chance to talk to people when then come over to have a look. One guy gave me a shackel!

Slindon has it's share of places to get stuck in the 'outback', 'bomb hole' and 'sandpit'. In the Outback there is what looks like an innocent puddle in a fairly flat area that turned out to be deep enough to roll my challenge 90 over one corner! After rainy weather there are places you'll spend the rest of the day trying to extract your truck from - they recommend only entering if you have a winch.

It's a great site though with a good mixture of everything regardless of the capabilities of you or your truck.

Hi all

Just added these. Adds a little character to the car. Just got to be careful when i use them. :whistle: . I know some people have there just isnt any room to fit these, well there is. :woohoo: . If you look in "technical" under "dixie horn" i give a short description of how i did it.

Hi all

Just a small up-date. Just recieved some new front radius arms from ORA. Very nice Totaly solid and excelent quality. He also threw a free front axle truss . Probably go on when i get some diff lockers Nice people at Off Road Armoury too, very friendly and helpful .
I did have castor correction bushes fitted but just wasnt quite happy with how it handled. Couldnt realy relax when driving it and as i use it every day it gets a bit annoying after a while. Will be getting the bushes and prop spacer in a few weeks.
Also got a CB radio now. Carnt wait to get it fitted. I think i will hook it straight up to the battery to start with and once my electrical knowledge improves i will re-wire into a seperate fuse board or something. And yes it dose have a in-line fuse .
Still havnt wired up the air horns, i keep forgeting about them .
Also thanks to kirkynut for sending me some torx bolts to replace the one that where stolen












Got a bit carried away with the camera :laugh:
Also getting a bits4vits spare wheel bracket soon. Once this is fitted and can build a mount for the CB aerial. Also means i can get the bloody spare wheel out of what is already a small shed :laugh:

Cheers guys

Watch the spring doesn't go walkabouts when you 'Bayonet un-mount' your twig.
Mine did!! :laugh:

nice
looking forward to your feedback on how it handles with the ORA arms fitted
