Bertbuckie's Jimny

copy all you like cant beat cheap mods at all but if you get a long length of flexi and just mount that it would be as good

think i will make up a snorkle, if i mess up i wont be bothered, my front wings are shot, i realy fancy the KAP front wings but to many ££££ss.

try cam-suzuki breakers for some second hand steel wings - mention big jimny and you should get a discount

im wanting a pair of wings & a bonnet for mine & i tryed cam-suzuki = shocking prices over £200 they wanted for that sort of money ill stick to my dented wings & bonnet :lol:

I got a bonnet for £60 off ebay - same colour and year - which I thought was OK - wasn't cam-suzuki though
try entering breaking jimny and you will get other beakers on other than cam or Thornton (same people)

i look every day to check for new listed jimnys breaking closest one ive found so far breaking with a decent bonnet & wings is 100ish miles away in liverpool if they was the right colour i might have been tempted to go for them but there not.

im willing to travel a little bit to get some in black at a decent price or i will have any colour if they are local

Im just up the road in Preston, Birkenhead has loads of scrap yards! Im going to save and get the flared arches as i need the clearance for my big tyres, im also after rear arches as my old ones are realy tatty, im currently trying to tart up my jimny after selling it 12month ago and buying it back after it having alot of bad mods and battle scars. The previous has fitted narrow springs inside the +3' springs to compensate for the weight of a big winch, this is dangerous!
