just to get me going again iv been away alot this year and the jimny has just been sat in the garage but i now have been kicking my ass into gear and getting it fixed.....
got brake lines, oil filter, pipercross air filter, super 4 spark plugs and full kingpin bearing set all ready to fit and service this saturday and sunday.
also a new highlift jack but 5ft not 4ft as my bro bought old un then give it me back today.....so i now have two which means i can do 9ft of winching.
oh and iv also put a deposit down on a 5.1 transfer box which ill be picking up on the 22nd january which will be mounted by end of feb at latest.
cant wait but it will be back on road in january!!!!
Cheers guys...spare a thought for me cold under my jimny on christmas day hahaha
Jimmy shall go to the ball.
Hopefully the bigjimny meet in 2012 wont be until march time then i can have a proper low ratio box in it for some mud fun!
Going to use an ORA mounting kit with speedo adapter etc but then use some spare 3mm sheet steel and weld it to the mounts making my own bucket like what rockwatt makes.
Saves any faffing with speedo mounting as i have loads of 3mm steel spare so not that much work to add a few bits to create a bash guard protecting the 5.1 transfer box which would cost alot to replace.
Once iv collected the transfer box i will have a samurai transfer box spare to sell too
Not sure on price yet as it depends if ill need the flanges for the new one or not but it wont be much....probably 20 without flanges or 30 with flanges if i dont need them
picked up my 5.1 transfer box today and have it sat in my bedroom.....a piece of art its soo clean ha get mounting kit etc and fit it by end of February as well
i would not make the transfer box gaurd out of 3mm it will deffo not be strong enough if it takes a bash on a rock. you need at least 5 to 6mm in my opinion
why not just get the mounting kit with speedo adaptor from rockwatt as that has the gaurd built in ready to fit
Last edit: 14 Jan 2012 21:39 by vitara_mad. Reason: speling
its only going to be a last resort protection welded to the ora mounts and triangulated so will be very strong.
i wanted a rockwatt mounting but he does not supply a speedo adapter etc which is the reason i will have to go for ora mounts but if he did supply speedo adapter id buy his mounting set in a heartbeat
might be nowhere i will have a look!
