Well that depends mostly on driving skills

Yeah but with kit like that it really helps to get the skills in action.

Agreed.. There's base for a good comp truck.

And I know I'm being a bit of a dick now.
But It's beyond me why you go through so much work to make some excellent looking suspension, axles, wheelbase and such. And then put some generic cheap shocks on. This Jimny screams for Fox/King Coilovers or Airshocks. I hope this is planned for the future.

And also that "rollcage". It's nowhere near useful for anything competition related.

But that rear A frame suspension looks interesting

TomDK - probably cost I would of said. We don't all have unlimited funds and can just keep piling the expensive parts on one after the other. Something has to give, and those things become added to the wish list, or "when I get paid" list.

Looks a cracking vehicle, can't wait to see it I'm action.

TomDK - could you link me to your build thread? It's been a while and I can't remember reading it. Cheers.

I'm thinking the same.. Hoping it gets some good shocks on it one day
Seems like there has been put some hours into it

If I can find it the thread Anything in particular you're looking for.
I'm doing a bit new things to it this winter. Some things needs to be made looking a bit nicer looking Other things just needs to be redone.

Hope Placek don't take my comment all too bad. Just a few points I needed to point out. Especially that cage. Safety . especially for comp use is something that concerns me a bit.
