Nice one, you can cut the plastic off the bit you have cut off to make a skid plate for cosmetic effect ;)

Good Job Szabi.

I should have asked before you started chopping but do you still have the imitation bull bar thingy?

Oh Jim, unfortunately the bolts were seized, so after try to getting them out for 30 minutes I lost it, and angle grinder down everything.

I seen one in the Jimny Facebook group.

Thanks. Ive not seen one like yours, it seems to fit really well. is the one n the FB group the same as yours. I have seen earlier jimny bull bars fitted to later vvt's but they arent a perfect fit.

Hi Szabek
I will take some photos close up tomorrow for you, I haven't got any of the skid plate that would help you out at the moment :)

I got fitted the tyres today and they also did the wheel alignment. The pulling left over 20mph tendency disappeared.

Happy, now, stage 1 completed. I can rest for a few more month...weeks... days?!?!?!

Also the wheel cover doesn't fit anymore, I need to get some secure wheel nuts to make sure, nobody going to knick the spare wheel.

Anyone has any spare?

No wheel nuts spare, but i do have a centre cover in grey would cover just the wheel itself (not the tyre)

Jimnybits sell locking nuts in a set of 5 ;-)

You've made a good start on a nice looking Jimny.

I'm glad you're enjoying it so much!

Next project....

While I am still try to deal with the front and rear recovery points and the skid plate to the front, I decided to give a go for the wheel spacers.
I am thinking about the 30-32mm ones (hopefully I can get away with them without trimming). I am calling all wheel spacer gurus and experts for advice. Stud/no stud ?! Any recommendation on specific type/model?
