So this "Daily" then Dave - is it not starting to get pretty damn capable as an off roader now?

Next there will be a winch and then lockers and ... before you know it, it'll be as good as your other one!

I've said it before Dave and I'll say it again - you have a condition that has no cure! :whistle:

I don't mind you having this "condition" mind as it makes for good reading seeing one after another truck get modded by you as you do so with an amount of flair!

LOL!

I deny everything! it's got a mild lift, doesnt even need extended brake lines

No, no winch, no Lockright... just a Jimny to run round in and possibly a bit of light 'laning...

:whistle:

More parts have been arriving, but repairs to the blue one are currently keeping me from working on the red one...

But here's a photo of the bonnet guard that arrived from Emu88 yesterday -

Fitted the JimnyBits recovery points to the rear today, only had a couple of hours off, and before it persisted it down... Just as I was tightening the last bolt!

Another great product from JimnyBits, nice clear instructions with photos, soon drilled the three holes and bolted everything in place -

They stick out a little bit far as they are designed to come through the bumper (under the rear lights) -

so may cut them off at the first bolt and pop the D-Shackles through the (enlarged) hole...

Should have more time to do some more tomorrow now the blue one is fixed and back out of the garage...

It's a known iPhone issue. Apple adds in extra orientation information that is misread by some graphics handlers. Not a simple cure for the server side I am afraid.
