North east Jimny...........Gaz's

I've just got the same kit, just need time to fit it. so many things to do, and so little time/daylight. I cannot wait until summer!

yeh its a simple enough job, the tidyer you want it the longer it takes really.

Just a quick snap to show how it looks now with 3 windows tinted and after ANOTHER wash!

CLEANNN





Also ordered one of these, in black though.




DAVE (vits)

I did have a nice bits 4 vits sticker on the rear window along with the bigjimny one of course but the ice scraper got the better of it :ohmy: :laugh:

nice window tinting - no creases- did you do it yourself?

Yeh, me and the brother did it.. Got the tint off ebay for about 8 quid lol for a 6 metre roll.

there is some very fine "scratch" type lines in it but overall very happy for the money! Looks good and no real creases or bubbles.

Ive tinted before....pain in the.....lol
tip for next time.... get some window tint tools - theres a little card thingy I use like an ice scraper. Wrap in a microfibre cloth or you will scratch
Also plenty soapy water

Bert

yeh cheers we had a plastic thing i got with the tint, sprayed windows and film as we peeled it off with soapy water.

Was a PITA though, so fiddly and annoying!

Well, i splashed out this morning..

Got this little machine



New clarke 151en mig. Never welded before in my life LOL, so this will be interesting
Ive read a bit about them and seems to be a half decent model for home use, although not supposed to be great gasless but i will try it first and get gas a bit later.

So tomorrow i will show pics of

My new trailer, panhards, hd bumpers, recovery points, roll cage, exhaust........... hahahaha

yehhhhh right.

First EVER time ive picked up a welder, mine cant be that bad surely for first time?? LOL



Was done on gasless mig so if its "messy" like gasless is supposed to be then im happy enough with that if it got tidyer with gas.... Bonus!











Some penetration




Started off too hot, so turned it down a bit....

what ya think, too hot/cold/fast/slow/totallyamazing/poo? hahaa

get your panards made your self now plenty good enough id say just the key is keeping it steady

Cheers mate, im thinking about it.... get them on a bit quicker if i make some up.

Need to have a bit measure up and see what size joints, tube etc id need?? Any ideas lol

ORA ones are 6mm!! wall tube, thats pretty hefty isnt it!

Also, if your using a tube with rose joints are you welding in a threaded insert or a nut on the end like others do?

im not sure how much longer they need to go either, with a 3" lift how much longer do the panhards need to be.... confusing lol!

nice welder - machine mart?
