Thanks Gaz, I like the challenge of making stuff up myself I just need to get more competent with a welder as I don’t trust my welds for things that are going to be taking this much strain, I end up tacking things like the winch mount and rock sliders together and having a mate weld them fully.

I have not had much to update recently, I have mainly been out having fun in the Jimny (including getting stuck for about 2 hours green laning this weekend, the wife was not impressed :S )

However today I finished up my radius arm protection, I went a slightly different route to most you see as I am a cheapskate and didn’t want to go out and buy longer bolts, so using some steel I had kicking around I made the below, they will attach directly to the chassis above the radius arm mounts with some large self tapping screws appose to using the bolts to hold them in place.








Not the tidiest welding but it does the job my next investment is a gas regulator so I can use gas when welding a get a cleaner weld, this flux wire spits all over the place.

Look great them dan,they will give you ample protection no doubt,are you painting them or just leaving them ?

Cheers Mark, i was on a lane near bluebell hill, i had stuck to lanes I knew as i was on my own but found a new one that would join 2 up without going the long way on the road. :laugh: I should hav known better. It was getting to the point where I was thinking about calling you then luckily 6 guys on mx bikes turned up and they were able to help along with the winch, thank god I fitted it

Cheers Gaz, in the last pic they at painted, I just used some white paint I had left over from painting my shocks.

haha you should have called me thats 5mins from my house :lol:

I will rememeber that for next time

Well I fitted the radius guards last week before going to the pay and play day and really pleased I did as they took a real pounding.







Next will be some diff guards as I got really hung up on the rear diff on the rocky section.

you will have to let me know how you get on with the diff gards i may want some

£8 each from o r a is it worth the hassal to make them

Looks like the guards have held up well !
