What did you do to your jimny today?

Today I have just done the 6000 mile 5-tyre rotation. Measured the tread depth and they are all wearing pretty evenly they are averaging 5.5 to 6.0 mm. I also checked the pressures and topped up where necessary.

getting reading for MOT. Play in front wheel. King pin bearings! One king pin snapped where pin is welded to flange - so now need to get new king pins as well as bearings. May as well have a clean up of brakes etc whist waiting for parts. Bit cold out though so in for a hot Ribena and a break.

I checked the drive belts today, the alternator belt was a lot slacker than I would have thought, so it was tightened such that the belt turns through a 1/4 turn.

The A/C belt appeared to be spot on, strange that as they were both replaced at the same time, but I guess there is always load on the alternator belt and not always on the A/C.

I also checked the crank pulley as that was replaced with the belts, no wobble at all.

Encouraged on by finding the belt a little slack, I topped up the screen wash and cleaned the crud off my manual hubs, then gave them a polish. Manual hub cleaning is a constant event, the ali seems to oxidise whilst you look at it.

Car washed ready for mot tomorrow, just need to adjust handbrake..

Changed transfer box fluid after reduction gears have had time to bed in

Extended gearbox and transfer case breathers up to engine bay

Fitted throttle controller for more responsive drive (so good)

Began speaker/subwoofer install with 3d printed mounts 

Busy evening!

Today I have been mostly reapplying waxoyl to the rear wheel wells, as for reasons I don't fully understand some but not all of it that I applied a couple of months back has come off. It wasn't perfect conditions as while it wasn't actively raining at the time it was quite damp but that's never been a problem before. Also spare jimny was done at the same time and is still perfect?
