Ant's 'stealth' gray Jimny, story so far

Looking very nice. the little lift perks it right up

Gotta be 4 spots on that rack, doesnt it have 4 mounts? a light bar would be a right pain to mount onto that surely?

The lights bars with the sliding mounts rather than just two end mounts will fit as they can be adjusted to suit mount widths. However the 36" comes with 3 mounts so I'd want to but another mount for the bar and slide that on. More expensive that way so I've settled on two 15" Light bars which each have two mounts and they should look good side by side.

Also got a new snorkel sitting in the garage for when I get some time to fit that..... Busy busy.

You cant beat the output from the lightbar's.
As far as I know, normal halogen put's out around 1500 lms (55W)
My 20" light bar is rated at 10'500 lms.
I stand to be corrected of course.

Yeah, even the rear two sqare worklights give off a huge amount of light - I tested them with a temp supply and was very impressed. Can't wait to get them all hooked up, will be great for getting changed and driving off the fishing/farm tracks in the dark evenings.

I'm loving this Jimny!

Cheers and a wee update...

Fitted smoked side indicator units at the weekend which blend in a lot better than the orange ones. Also got the back seats out, very easily in about 20 minutes. Measured up for plywood floor and already have dark grey car carpet waiting to cover it (bought 15mm ply today). Due to some noisy rubbing on the front arches - only when reversing on hard lock, and only sometimes.... I trimmed a wee bit off the very bottom of the front arches liner and front bumper (not visible) - seems to have solve the issue.

Had intended fitting my twin lightbars to the front of the roof rack this weekend, BUT on opening the fixings packets last night to check all the bits for the 4 mounts were there... one of the special shaped little slider blocks was missing. Now playing email tag with the seller to get him to send the missing part, and that NO a £5 refund for it being missing will not suffice! since I can't fit without it and it's a bespoke part. Ho-Hum.

Seats out, waiting on plywood and carpeting


Used the seat mount posts for fixing some tie down points I had lying around and spacer from spare Shogun ARB bushes

Great work you've done in such a short amount of time.

Yeah I don't like to hang about when I have a plan, plus the trout season will be starting in a few weeks so want to get the bulk of work done before then so's not to waste fishing time working on the car
