It begins

[Albannach]

Did you get the air bags sorted?

[KERRSURF]

Just goona hit a big tree and let em go off in our faces!

Always fancied trying that...

Jimny is looking great bro, cant wait to give it some abuse tomorrow.

Had it's first run out yesterday and it was fantastic.
I have had a number of off road toys, yotas, v8 bobtail, buggy, SJs but this wee thing is without doubt the most capable I have ever owned or driven.
Massive grin factor. Will update when winch, cage and locker are being fitted.




Double rear wheel wave, was steeper than I thought

Brilliant thread brian...awesome machine..can't wait till it tows me out of somewhere

[Apache]

Agreed. That is one sweet little beastie! Must admit I've been looking at Jimnys in a new light these days. I like that 'back to basics' approach.

Well pleasant surprise this weekend, Albannach and gwh200 dropped in for a visit. Looks we will have Graham full time soon and maybe with a much smaller truck hidden in the garage for Sundays

As I am an amature at auto electrics, Andy wouldn't let me extend the control wires {of course}. So Graham and I had to stand and watch {perfect}



Wander lead plug moved from the winch to under the steering wheel and all the soleinod bridges sealed up.



Winch sits well inside the bumper with the bridge laid back towards the Rad, nice low profile.
Apache thanks for the number plate sticker mate.



So rear bumper next, this will be a home made affair and will be made in stages. Need to get enough of it on to mount indicators for our Day at Glentarkie on the 12th.

Yeah, and i don't fancy some of the long hills on the motorway, with 2.0 petrol motor and 33x14.5" Pit Bull's i'll probably need low range. Its a chore to just get to the Plains!!



I might have to wait till its got a bigger motor.
