our trip was over 4 days.

and on the 2nd last day I drowned my Alternator.

the last day my water pump died ( hence the trailer )

Got home and repaired also have bearings in the rear diff replaced.

a week later developed a whine and found this

Yeah mate I watched heaps of youtube vids about it and decided why not seeing as my head unit was dying and I was up for a few hundred bucks anyway.

i'm wrapped with the result. - wouldnt be as impressive if I didnt have the cellular version of the ipad

Cheers mate,

I need to update with some pics.

I now have a Bluetooth Module on the Amp so I don't need the 3.5mm cable :laugh:

On another note, Got some $$ to throw at the Jimny.

Seriously considering trying out a 2" Body Lift to give some more guard clearance.
not quiet ready to chop chop just yet, if I ever change to 31's I would chop them.

what are your thoughts on BL in a Jimny?
