Got a few more parts this week

Also fitted my old 32mm spacers as well.

I bought one of these a few months back
Pipe Bender

There is some slight flattening on the bends as the formers are not very smooth and tend to grip the pipe rather than letting it slide so I have a piece thin aluminium bent into the former to help.

Popped the Jimny up on a few blocks to finish off the tree sliders




Finished off around the front bars





Looks good while parked crooked





Tidied up the end of the tree sliders





And the end of the bumper




Little bit more welding around the front bars





And cleaned up around the windscreen






Using the JCB, we carefully lifted off the cage





Then painted it in Hammerite Black





It kind of has a Darth Vader look when its out like this





Hammerite Black comes out really nice






Here is the Roll Cage all finished, back on the Jimny and all painted up




Looking a bit dirty already as we took it for a quick spin around some of the lanes



Stan2's cage is complete. Next is the Transfer box and the Lock Rite
