Haven't been on here in a while... I have been busy however

First i installed four WIPACS on the roof rack these are brilliant for how cheap they are



I didn't like the way the roof rack was mounted it was way to high and not secure enough (you could lift it off by hand pretty easily even when the clamps where fully tight) so i redesigned and made some new clamps to secure it without the need for the cross bars making it about 70mm lower!

while i had the rack off i decided to paint it with stone chip... Stone chip is brilliant stuff would really recommend it as its really easy stuff to paint with and its tough stuff that dose not chip rather smudges so its brilliant for roof racks that get loads of drag damage



As its thick stuff its best to warm it up first by sticking it in a jug of boiling water for about 5 mins





It took almost 3 cans (which is 1.5liters of paint) to completely cover the rack and 2 nights but i finally got every inch painted



I also took the time to tidy up some shocking wiring with the help of some wiring conduit







Thats all for now....

Nice, like the light.
you still getting rid of it for a cruiser?

yer that is still the plan but that is going to be in the distant future now... i simply dont earn enough to buy one right now... saving little by little it is then....


I cant shake the urge to modify and improve the jim though

is it just space that is the attraction, or is it how they drive too?
btw just got front corrected arms on mine with the 3" lift, makes driving on the road so much nicer
