Gaz's reasonably priced jimny..

its a good thing to do, im trying not to spend any money at the min so got some sheet of a friend and going to spend the next few months just making things up lots of guards battery tray who know skys the limit when you have the means to do stuff

Yea deffo agree there,all my other guards are home made,front diff guard,transfer box guard,trailing arm guards,sorry ive got a rear ora weld on rear diff guard.my whole jimny has been based on a buget with it been a 2nd car/toy.ive only just realised rear shock guards can be bought from jimnybits for 24 quid and are very similar to what ive done,never mind every penny saved helps.think im going to fit another battery to the jimny,when i broke the liana i had for the engine i kept the battery tray and the battery is healthy on it,so thats next on the cards with split charging system.

I'm the same. Very little of my stuff is full price and most is second hand. Seems more satisfying that way rather than spending £££ on stuff I dont really need but just want!

Deffo ! More so satisfying when you leave green ovals standing

Not alot to report on the rpj although couple of bits and bobs i thought id update with

Recently removed my home made front diff guard/axle guard as in the snow it acts as a bit of a plough so in its place welded on an ora front one for some protection.

fixed my front fogs as there was a wiring issue

Replaced the front brake pads recently as they were shot

Also won off ebay a pair of alleged land/winch anchors got them for £10 delivered so was worth a shot,had a try of one yesterday and worked quite well was quite supprised,they just winde into the ground small vid.



Got a couple of trips out lined up over the next couple of weeks as i havnt used the jimny off road for a good few weeks now and dying to get out.also have my mot due soon so will be getting sorted for that.

Picture of the anchor would be nice mate
