What did you do to your jimny today?

Brought Spare Jimny in for a service. Only done about 3k but maintenance is maintenance.

So you know how it is, without comparison things become normalised. Having just driven Spare Jimny for the first time in a few months it seems that the brake pedal on Temeraire has more travel than Spare, hand brake is worse too. So back wheels off and the drums. 4 additional clicks on the driver side and 6 clicks on the passenger side. Much better. Does beg the question of why Suzuki bothered with a automatic adjustment mechanism as it's patently useless.

Welding in some new support for headlights and some sections under the headlights.
Would love to be heading off somewhere in it this weekend any way the list is getting shorter day by day , evening by evening .........
 

My LC had auto adjust on the rear brakes but they would over adjust and then seize. I converted them to manual adjust and no more problems. 2-3 clicks every 6 months was all the adjustment they needed.

Started working on the underside today .......

Today was a productive day. I sorted out the left-hand rear wheel arch which needed 8 patches (!) in the wheel arch itself and then welded around the outer edge. All ground back and then lathered in seam sealer - the nice thing about the arches I'm putting on is that it won't be in direct contact with any mud or water that gets slung off from the wheels. Welded the small squares where the original arches clip into and then filled them for sanding tomorrow.

 

Moved to the other side of the car and sanded the filler and gave it a quick spray of primer to protect it until raptor paint later in the month.

 

I was in contact with Keith to figure out the rear corner piece of the bumper and sometime later managed to cut it to fit and got it all screwed on.

 

Tomorrow I need to re-make the left rear body mount. I will see what I have time for after that! Much thanks to Keith again for his time answering my silly questions! I owe you a pint (or a few!).
