What did you do to your jimny today?

Just fitted steering damper and new spark plugs.

Runs sweeet!

Just need oil tomorrow for oil change....

Near side front wheel bearing, new second hand front panhard rod, bent the old one on a tree stump, freed off all four caliper slides, took the vacuum pipes off and put loops on the hub connectors while I was under there. Will tackle the back brakes tomorrow.

Some time ago I bought a second hand Asfir fuel tank guard and today got around to fitting it. The biggest problem was getting the old one off; rusty nuts seem to be my nemesis with the Jimny! Luckily, my Irwins bolt grippers have done the job and got them all off.

The old fuel tank guard was rotten and certainly not up to the job of protecting the fuel tank. The bolts holding the old guard on needed replacing. I used some 10.9 Hi-tensile steel bolts. The specification you need are M8, 25mm long thread and a thread pitch of 1.25mm.



Here is the new guard before fitment to the Jimny (the brown stripes are the parcel tape that I couldn't be bothered to clean off!).





Fitted to the Jimny.

Thanks for the photos of the replacement as I will be fabricating one in the near future

Broke it laning

Patched exhaust with bandage until I get round to fitting a new one. Doesn't blow raspberries any more :lol:

Tried taking off side bars and knackered by crappy cheapo rachet :dry: Going to need to get a new one. Drivers side is off, just the other side to do.

Replaced a dead vvt engine with a lower mileage one. Damn those gearbox to engine bolts are tight!

so you had more fun today than everyone else !!!

Opened the garage door looked at the jimny sitting there with half the axle striped down waiting for new king pin bearings from martin and then closed the door with a tear in my eye lol :'(

Bought some new bits to stop it having the 'wobbles' ............. fingers crossed ................. :whistle:

Bought a jeep cherokee for 800 insured it for 290 so i can do my trailer license and tow the jimny about when needed. Expensive day
