A Bit Windy this new years day so our Boat House got it.. This picture is when we got the boat out unharmed luckily.
Have no idea how I could do this without the Jimny. Probably would have to buy a tractor or something.. Pretty steep grass hill to get down to the sea here from the road. Used the Jimny to pull out the other boat as well helping the insurance people. Hoping insurance will cover most of the damage.
Finally got time today to fit Diesel jimny vented brake discs and Vitara 5 door calipers.
Old discs looked awful with a sticky black something on them and rusted spots as well.
Also had some brake wobble emerging again.
No issues with the job, just plug and play.
Bought calipers with brackets and shoes years ago for my SJ but the SJ do not need brakes yet.
No problems venting the air out of the calipers and lines. Just lay the brake disc with caliper on on the side on top of the axle with the caliper vent upright.
Also did my rear brakes as they had been looking bad inside due to brake fluid leakage. Changed both sides cylinders and shoes. But on one side there was also oil so changed the axle oil seal as well. Nice to have a well stocked shelve with SJ parts. Oil Seal was the same.
Brakes now feels good of course, but the improvement on my car was mostly due to the worn parts i swapped off it.

Ignoring the fact that your boat shed seems to have had too much vodka, I'm not at all envious of you, no sir, not one bit jealous! What a beautiful place to live!

It sure is beautiful, funny how I never thought of it like that when I lived there growing up.. It was just an old ragged sheep farm.
No sheep since 1990 here, but the neighbors sheep still holds the forest off the fields.
I do not live there, but hoping to have a cabin or something here one day. My uncle owns the place now.

Boat shed new year celebrations. Wind came suddenly from the wrong side. Can't remember it coming down the hillside like this ever.Lambert wrote: Ignoring the fact that your boat shed seems to have had too much vodka, I'm not at all envious of you, no sir, not one bit jealous!
