Dan's Jimny

Yea I have been thinking about spacers to push the wheels out a bit, I find when our laining that I and constantly rocking from one side to the other when in ruts made by land rovers etc with wider track as they don't quite sit in them right.

I can't justify bigger tyres yet, but maybe when they need changing it will be an option.

yer youve got good tyres any way but try these guys nice and cheep and always willing to deal to beat another quote

Painted up the 3 shocks that I have today, hoping to get the 4th ordered later in the week, provided I get paid early for xmas .





I'm now looking forward to getting these on along with the lift springs

did you mask up the shaft when you sprayed them ?? :lol:

I did, dont worry they have masking tape on them, I could not be bothered with the rubber bushes however, one of them was fairly easy to remove but the others I just left in, a nice coat of white paint wont hurt, :dry:

iv just seen on face book that off road armory have made a copy of your recovery points......... im thonking that you had a good ider there :laugh:

Haha theye are pretty similar actually.... It will be interesting to see how they bolt on, especially that low down.

yer i know thay come out next week at £58+vat and i bet yours coast 20p to make :lol:

:laugh: :laugh: A little more than 20p A fiver for all the steel as off cuts from the local steel fab shop and a bit of beer money to Ken to weld it all up. And that's both fron and rear

After getting a little stumped trying to fix the issue I have with getting 4wd on Thursday I fitted some new front pads as they started to die on me the other day, I also fitted my new 2" lift springs along with the original 2" spring spacers that came on the car but cut down to an inch. The 3 rough pro comp shocks I had have are also fitted and I am just waiting for my forth to be delivered from Jimny bits, unfortunately there seems to be a bit of a delay with delivery, i guess due to Christmas.

I am I really please with the lift so far it looks very high at present but I guess this will settle once I use it a bit. I will get some pics up when I have the 4th shock on fix the cv joint (well lets hope that's what it is)

For Christmas I also got a usb gps receiver for my net book so i now have memory maps in the jimny with real time positioning . The net book fits very nicely on the dash and is secured down with some Velcro. Also got some seat covers so these are on and will save the seats from any future mud

Looking forward to those pics Dan ....................

Dare i say it i have offroad tyre's on mine. i use mine to got to work and back i would be lucky if i got 200+ mile on a tank full
