looking class mate! Have you fitted a lift?

It came with a two inch lift when I bought it. Also has a k&n pannel filter...

Looking good! Red is a good colour for Jimjams I think. Not many red ones around either. You have to keep on top of polishing them though to stop them going pink!

Yeah I was amazed how good it looked when I gave it a polish looked even better when it got covered in mud the next day lol...

I have been thinking about an engine swap to the g16bb engine but can't seem to figure out what cars / years they came in. Don't mind buying a complete car and scrapping the rest just need to find one... Any ideas???

I am buying a set of manual hubs for it this weekend so one thing less on the list lol

Cheers

Nice looking Jimny...

They came from a local motor factor I think they are britax and I bolted them to a roof rack spacer I made and bolted to the roof.

It was from a guy on here that sold it to me a couple months back... He said it was made for him by someone but they have stopped production now so I think it is almost a one of...

Well it's welded on and the light bar is fitted and it's blimming bright I put it as far back as I could to stop it getting hit when I'm off-roading
