Blake's Jimny

Hope you told the insurance about the additional 500hp you have gained!

Fitted my new antenna today, was easy to install and took about 10 minutes.

I don't know if it shows up in the last image, but I sanded off the 3D print lines. When I've got some spare time I'll finish it and spray it black.

that looks neat and tidy

What is it's reception like?

Pretty decent, although it doesn't like trees.

Where did you get the new aerial/antenna from? I guess the little body part was a custom job?

Hi, where did you get this antenna from please?

Link to the antenna

Cost me about £35 incl. postage

And yes, the part that fixes the antenna to the body is custom, was 3D printed.

So for those of you that though this build was dead, I have some unfortunate news for you. 

It is not! My beloved Jimny lives on...

Back in December 2018 my clutch decided it didn't want to exist any more, cue getting recovered in the pouring rain on Xmas day. 

Rather than be sensible and get my clutch repaired, I fell for the finance trap and got this run-about. 

So for about 2 years the Jimny sat neglected on my front lawn, that was until the start of this year when I decided I wanted to start up a business, and it ironically has more cargo space than a 2+2 sports car.

So after about 3 weeks in the garage and after only replacing the clutch and rear brake callipers we are here, back on the road which frankly I had no idea was possible.

And of course one of the first mods I did was absolutely essential   



 

Yay another Jimny back on the road!

Good to see it back on the road time for some fun/

Some mods I've done recently:

Was a bit of a ball ache to do as i've not got the proper brackets welded that secure the wings... something on my never ending to-do list 

And my roof rack arrived the other day so I got that fitted too
