Another thing you could do is make a home made snorkel. I saw one on here before Christmas but cant find it now.

it depends what tools and knoledge you have
if you are a tinkering kinda guy and can weld well you can make just about anything for not much money , the two main reasons i like the jimny , im a welder fabricator who doesnt like spending money

Thanks for all the ideas! I really like the sound of the heavy duty recovery eyes :ohmy: I seen a post about the homemade snorkel too and thought it was a great idea but i cant find it either
The shovel mount on the spare wheel is really cool! The under body protection looks do-able too!
I really wish I could weld, I'm determined to learn! I can do quite a lot with wood but never really done a lot with metal :ohmy: I do like to tinker with things though haha, I've fitted rear speakers and a subwoofer too so had the interior dismantled a few times but never done anything major! My dad used to be a mechanic so he's always tinkering with my car too :laugh:

Hi Ryan I could make you a spade bracket, it just bolts onto the spare wheel nuts. and i could make you some front recovery eyes if you want.
