And another Jimny arrived?! It's a soft-top '02 reg with 63k on the clock, a bit rough, but a long MOT, recent brake pipes front to back, not 100% sure what I'm doing with it yet, it was just too good to miss! :woohoo:
And then had a potter in the garage...
Went through the prop parts bin and managed to make up a spare rear prop, and also had a front prop, so at least I can carry some get-me-home spares...

The flaw in that idea is that we don't finish where we start (I plot the routes)

No idea?! Waiting for a Rockwatt Ricklobster to hang under it
Then the gearing will be correct, and the speedo...

Hmmm, kinda decided that a buggy is not practical for the UK (unless I win the lottery, then I'd get a tricked up Polaris RZR*)... so... the red one has a decent front hood section (like the blue one), so... today... an "IdiotMobile" fastback hardtop rear section arrived...
Then, if and when we get a sunny day... unclip it, pop it in the garage, throw the hood back, wind the windows down, and then it's as close as I can get to a buggy! LOL... then, as UK weather is bound to do, and a shower comes, wind the windows up and close the roof! LOL
(*and as the other lads in the group have said, a Polaris or similar, doesn't have sufficient ground clearance for greenlaning... so KISS and keep it Jimny 2!)
