Galactic Jimny

The galactic jimny is really looking nice mate, must give you a nice feeling after the week you have had thanks to those to :evil: :evil: ers. Keep it up.

Could eat your dinner of that gleaming :woohoo:

Don't look underneath though. That's a project that's isn't so much fun.

Mmmm I like 'clean car' ..............

Update on a few jobs that needed doing.

Kingpin bearings replaced:
I doubt these have ever been replaced the passenger side was perfectly fine but it was replaced anyway and driver side was worn badly. The steering has settled down a lot less jumpy. Bought these from the bigjimny shop so I knew I had the correct quality part.

Steering damper:

I got this from the bits4vits shop they are very helpful and nothing is too much trouble. With the damper fitted it does dampen down the steering movement slightly, noticeable over bad road surfaces.

Engine oill changed. Well it had been 7 months so I like to do this regularly and keep the little engine well protected.

Today I had the tracking checked and all is well. The steering wheel has always sat slightly to the left so I will check the steering box tie rod.

Next job: I have a different non leaking prop to swap with mine I got from member J999pre off here.

As usual the forum has proved invaluable every Jimny owner should join.

Just recieved one of these glow in the dark key condoms from the suzuki shop. I also replaced the fob battery.



I wasn't getting my hopes up with how well it glowed in the dark but it's actually very good.

Egr headlight protectors

I have these on my peugeot 205 and they are good quality. The jimnys square shape does take a battering so on they go.

I've had this little oil check device laying about for years but never had an engine bay big enough to fit it in an appropriate position. It's really handy when you don't have an oil rag to hand and you want to give it a quick check. Another one of my 'unnecessary accessory'

James, those headlight protectors look great at a fraction of the cost for OEM ones

looks like you're getting ready for Galactic travelling :laugh:

never seen one of those oil check devices before,
