small update since my last post the jimny has had a few days out laning with no issues so last weekend I did an oil and filter change also changed the transfer box oil for some fresh ep90 and a spoon of moly grease.yesterday I fitted my waffel boards into the rear then decided to give it a decent clean up.no detailing world procedures here but gave it a quick once over with the polisher and was supprised how well its come up.just clicked 122000 miles still never misses a beat.landy owners can only dream of this reliability. (Touch wood)

looking good Gaz

think you've just inspired me for my new dog guard - one waffle board on top of the other :laugh:

Not used the jimny since its clean but the other day I used it to go to the tip and on the wy back the back box fell apart and sounded like a tank.i deally need a full new system as all the flanges have rotted out and its all been welded together, ive got tax due at the end of the month and im skint at the mo so to keep me going we had centre section off a rover lying about at the garage which was in good nick and nie on the right shape so bit of cutting and welding and its fitted keeps me going and has a little rasp about it now.




Need to get out on the lanes its been a few weeks now

Just spent an hour reading all your updates Gaz. Great work and progress on the Jimny, looks top notch.

Cheers, aye its not a bad little thing serves me very well still impresses me off road.

Looking good, glad you're still enjoying it. I really must get out in mine!
