Hello everyone
finally decided to introduce myself after lurking for many months haha
We bough early last year a 1999 Jimny, it has always been her dream car so we finally did it, we bought it completely stock, that's what she wanted, it was on just under 60k so I done the basic maintenance when we brought it home, timing belt, new water pump, coolant, oil and filters.
it then decided that it didn't want to run right, under acceleration it was hesitating, after many sensors replace and checks, we got it fixed by increasing the length of the vacuum line to the TPM, it's been a few months and so far no issues again, beats me but hey oh
Manage to convince her to try green laning which we have fallen in love with! slowly been convincing her to let me upgrade it, we started with some A/T tyres, she now has agreed to get a 2" lift suspension, working on the snorkel next
The more we use it the more we love it and get impressed on how well it does off road!

Saturday fitted the guards and all went according to plan and the instructions! no issues, now for the recovery points, rear ones no issues, the front I did not manage to get them fitted, they bolt to the front original recovering eyes and they both missing so, need to figure out a solution for it now.
Sunday went to Avalanche for a pay and play and the lil nugget has done so well! just kept going everywhere I asked it too and no complains!
