Thanks, will probably start on the motor swap within a week or two.. Motor should be here any day now!

Thought I recognized that factory! Rupes is great, we run them at work

Looking well on the new suspension & tyres there

I wonder if the castor correction would fix the bowing of the springs as a side bonus?

Yes it will, but not much.. But i really feel the correction is needed, it doesnt track very well now.

The ET15 7x15 wheels is close to a perfect fit, as the tire wear pattern are pretty much bang in line vertically with the top fender edge on the side thats "worst". A panhard correction on both axles would make it perfekt.. Not sure if i bother to do something with it tho..

I got et -30, i regret going that far, et 0 would have been nicer to look at!

Since the jimny is so narrow and tall looking, with its high front window, i want it to stand as wide as possible.. ET-0 wouldnt do the trick for me, but ET-10 would be absolutly perfect on 235's..
Probably need to go max et 0 if you want to avoid cutting away some plastic.

Daihatsu Sportrak wheels are ET-12. Keithy had a pic of some he was selling a couple days ago with Hankook RT03's in 235/75/15 on them. I just put a set on with 235/75/15 Maxxis Bighorns on those same rims (see below)

Better pic here to show width in relation to arches:

Buffed off some scratches and got it to shine alittle..

Spare wheel bracket needs paint, so im running naked for a while.
And that huuuge towbar... Hmm, probably gotta go. Might buy a new, shorter one.

damn nice

What does "ET" mean? Sorry I'm still learning the basics!
