Lol 35psi I wouldn't dream of it in jimny. In my old pug I didn't have power steering and I had a quick rack only a couple of turns lock to lock. It was heavy but since then I have never got on with light steering.

Today I had the rear windscreen replaced after it was smashed and had the the jimny bits 8 spokes put on.

While the tyre fitter was putting the rubber on I borrowed is wire brush and cleaned up the hubs. Years of brake dust and corrosion gone and no sign of death wobble which I was worried about. the fitter filled the tyres to 32 psi front and back yes 32! Amazing what wheels do to a car had 2 people ask me about the jimny never had that before.

I have the tow trust tow bar with pin and ball and I have fitted the rear mudflaps. It's coming together nicely.

Daniel, I got the standard suzuki items and I fitted them before adding adhesive strip go make sure the window went up. They are simple to fit and the instructions show the bottom lip sits on the window rubber strip and not inside! I think this is were some people have gone wrong.

Cleaned and Polished it to death to try and get the body as shiny as the new wheels. After washing and drying I used Autoglym super resin polish then sealed the paint work with Autoglym extra gloss finish. This stuff keeps the water beading off for weeks.
