Hello from Essex was created by nbx
Hi all,

New to Jimny's and this site, bought my first off roader as a good friend recently bought a Landrover and I fancied something different.

Bought my jimny already done, had some serious money spent on it (has external roll cage, lifted (body and suspension), 31" Malatesta tyres, front winch, 1.6 from a Baleno and a few other goodies, maybe (hopefully :dry: ) someone will recognise it?!

I love the little thing but its been some aggro already haha

My panhard bar snapped clean off (on the N/S), has anyone ever had this before? :ohmy:

I've replaced the drivers side king pin bearings the weekend just gone but still have some ghastly death wobble :S I've read the sticky on death wobble so will be exploring all those avenues in due course :unsure:

Hi Keithy,

Yes the panhard bar has been bodged previously, it had been threaded on the N/S so kept coming loose, a mate of mine welded the bolt head to stop it coming back out and braced the bracket :huh:

I'm hoping its not going be a case of replacing the front axel :ohmy:
