Jamaican Jimny build, mon!

Looks good
I have train horns on my Pajero. Are you going to fit some Nathans or Leslies?? Biggest restriction is where to put the air tank, compressor and horns on a Jimny. I like the use of my now empty rear seat space so for me that's out of the question. The only place for the actual horns is either on the roof or cut away the floor and mount the trumpets facing down and out; a good place would be that dreadful jack space. You aim them down to the tarmac to get a good sound spread; it radiates around that way. If they go through the floor the tank and compressor could sit in the back.

intake looks tough...... i need

Yup.. I'm gathering parts to build a custom kit as we speak.... I'm actually still trying to decide where to put the horns and tank as well... Awesome suggestions though. Give me some more details on your setup

That black stuff around the bonnet catch and cables is actually grease and dust :laugh:

Installed this generic water temp gauge today... Very impressed with it!

Installed the foglights and toggle switch today. They haven't been fully wired in just yet, but I made a brief connection directly to the battery... hell, they're bright in daylight... Gonna finish the wiring and test em out tomorrow
