What did you do to your jimny today?

well i finaly got round to it fixing a small bit of stainless steel wire to the exhaust it was dooing my head inn , i fitted a new exhaust a couple weeks ago but there must be a slight difference in the new one as it catches the tow bar and rattles its head off , i tried all kinds of things , but in the end a small bit of wire to keep it away from the tow bar did the trick , if i could of got inn about with the small angle grinder i would of nipped a bit off the tow bar , but everything is so tight and close ,

When I put a third party back box on my Gen3 it rattled on the towbar, IIRC, I took the offending flange off the towbar and chopped a piece out to clear the tailpipe. The spares market must have measured wrongly when they copied the original.

I think I would much sooner modify the exhaust than chop the tow bar. But I do a lot of towing.

It’s still there, transporters where too expensive so I just pushed it. I’m a AA member but they sent my account setup details to my co-signer rather than me for some benine reason.

Re: Update the reason why they wouldn’t come and get it is because the company I bought it off hasn’t paid the setup fee yet.

We are only talking about a scallop cut from the side flange about 1/8 deep, just enough to stop it rattling. It was one of those Towtrust or Towsure ones with the big side flanges that bolt to a crossbar. I doubt if it weakened it enough to worry about. I suspect that the back of the chassis would break off first.

Ah. Not cutting a huge hole in the side then! Fair enough.
