A standard jimny will suprize you with its capabilities off road. Then you catch the Jimny bug.

Gaz if i owned one i am realy in to my xud engines
so if a jimny come up local with a blown engine i mght be tempted as would like one running a xud lump B)
who knows i might be converted but i still think the parts and the jeeps them selfs are a bit pricey

i'm liking the look of every thing being small and light done a few clutchs and other stuff on disco's and nothing is light one handed job. had a few sj's my self and i like being able to lift the box up with one hard/arm and replace the mount with the other hand :laugh: some thing thats not that easy on a land rover

so here are 2 pictures


we all know what a stock blue jimny looks likes 60k miles and 1 owner before we bought it done a year of problem free driving


And a little sneaky shot on whats to come for dave

also have a V cutter so the jeep will be getting a sticker kit (nohing to chavy tho)

i should have my car done in a week~2 weeks time then its tools out and get cracking

Lovely. Blue is by far the best colour ;)
Hampshire too, have you registered to come to the Big Jimny Off Road event in Bordon in a few weeks time? Be great to see you down there. I'm also based in Hampshire, Fleet to be precise.

MC is tempting to come to the bordon to 2 things that are stopping me is one i would be in my disco and 2 would have little one with me is very tempting tho

Gosh i agree mate forum is good nice guys to.. the jimny in the photo's isn't mine i am building it for my mum and her husband so they can come out with us (have a group of mate/club) and to show my work.

Welcome! Looks like the bug has bitten. That Disco will be for sale before you know it!
