What did you do to your jimny today?

Will paint rear bumper tonight if it doesn't rain.

Is welding up the rusty bits behind the lights a big job?

I didn't think so, only took a couple of hours, but it would depend how bad it is and whether it needs the front body mounts doing, it was just a pain getting angle grinder in to get it all clean for welding, could do with a finger grinder but haven't so just used what I have.

Yep all those fecking springs make it uber fiddly

Replaced my front axle yesterday evening and fitted new king pins and half shat oil seals with water prof grease not easy on ya back on a own

Said I'm very very sorry, they shook you all over the place :ohmy: pulled pushed & tried everything :woohoo: but couldn't find anything wrong except ...... :whistle:










A bloody weight lost (stuck on type inside rim), re-balance front wheels & I'm as happy as a pig in shite ..... :laugh:
Had this been any other car it's the first thing I would & should have had checked however as the issue was spot on the known 'wobble' ...... anyway all smiles again & I still have a big box of spares 'just in case' ..... :blush:
