Yes the Breather kit and jubilee clips.

What I did for the rear, was to clip the breather pipe to the chassis above the axle and drop it down above the breather vent. But first I heated a fair length of the pipe up in a bowl of boiling water, when soft I wrapped it around a soup can a few times and held it in place until cool. This in effect gave me a coil spring of breather pipe that wouldn't get in the way under suspension compression, but would have more than enough stretch for full suspension travel.

Well, I have kept mine in a little zip-lock bag :o
But yes, prise the cap upwards and inside is a little spring and rubber seal. Discard those or wrap them up.

Once you have the first slots in place and can then see the RP centre lines, it is easy to judge how much left and right you need to trim. The harder part was working out how to vertically position the slots, that's the trial and error bit.

Stands out well against the dirt. Loosely held in place.



All bolted up.






First undersized slots cut.








Hya Soeley,

I fitted the jimnyBits rear tow points today. It was a success!




Soooooo now i'll be fitting the front tow pojnts. Can i ask, gow the heck did you find a reference point to start the hole in the bumper?

Bcus the bumper wont fit flush with the points attached, im racking my brains to figure out where i would start. Im wondering from your pictures whether i could gain a good statting point from noting where yours are located.

Any tips my friend??

Thank you kindly Soeley!!
