hi guys newbie from hampshire with 2 now

hi guys

thought i would sign up just picked up my mums husbands jimny (dave) with all the kit in the back that i'll be bolting on to it over the next few months to make it bit better for off roading sure there will also be some fab work to along the way :whistle:

will do a build topic when i start still got a peugeot to finish and a few other jobs but fingers crossed should be starting in two weeks

off to have a read about will chuck some pictures up tomorrow when its light

Hi, and welcome onboard

Good to have another 'Hog' in the pack so welcome our fine forum, it’s good to have you join us ................

Welcome to Bigjimny, why not meet us at Slab Common on the 19th for the Bigjimny meet

thanks for the welcomes guys

i will get some pics today got a bit held up yesterday playing cars trying to get stuff finished so i can start on the jimny

gaz thanks for the invite i my self run a (£350) 300tdi disco :whistle: as alot cheaper then a jimny can't wate to get building Dave as will make a change from fixing land rovers and i want to see what the little truck will do i forgot how much fun they are to nip about in till i drove the jimny back the other night

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
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.

Ali.

Hi mate welcome to the forum, im a newbie to and i must say this really is great forum proberbly the best for Jimny. Anyway i look forward to seeing your motor all kitted out, enjoy it

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.

saying this i am going to go look at one Wednesday that a friend has for sale so i might own one really soon
