Bru's Jimny was created by JimBru
Well I've been here for a few weeks and asked loads of silly questions but i've never posted any pictures yet. So here it is (if it works)




Its totally standard for now. When I bought it, it had a serious death wobble issue, I replaced a wheel bearing, had the disks machined and the wheels balenced and thankfully it sovled the wobble.

Only other problem is the vacuum system isn't working, so for now I've blocked the pipes up and set the hubs in the locked position, and it works :)

I'm off to pick up some mud tyres tomorrow, but still on the look out for a cheap set of alloys/wheels to put them on. Also on the look out for some freewheeling hubs, so i can throw out the standard ones.

Still got a few jobs to do but hopefully I'll be sorted in time to come out and play with you's at the bigjimny event

hopefully getting these for £60 which is quite reasonable i think, they have around 9mm of tread.
