Back on the road again. Just finished fitting the new clutch 
Next time I am gonna try doing it without removing the rocklobster, exhaust and front propshaft, hopefully if that is possible it will save some time.
Gonna try to wire in the ARBs over the next week.
Oh and maybe fit the snorkel I just bought from bigjimny, then I will be able to go through deeper water than the maximum stated 500mm wading depth specified by Suzuki :laugh:

Ive noticed that the new clutch seems to have a slight burning smell, not sure if this is cos its new or whether the whole setup is just too much for the standard clutch kit.
Also its the first time ive been able to do any real road mileage since the build and the Jimnys max speed is about 50mph in 5th
Though I really dont want to be going that fast as the car is quite scary even at 40mph except on a very straight road. Oh and really noisy :ohmy:
Its amazing off road though and another big plus is that I have just swapped the beemer for a Freelander 2 - with a towbar for a trailer when I get one
