The daylight running / fog lights turned up from Germany today too, they are a direct replacement for the fog lights in the bumper and are two-thirds DRL at the top and a third foglight at the bottom... Wiring instructions so that they go off when the headlights are on... that might take some doing with Suzukis headlight wiring?! :lol:

Thought I might as well do them when the bumper is off for the body lift (2" + 2" trailmaster suspension lift)

Body lift blocks have finally arrived -



'My' full width (3" rather than everyones elses 2" - these are the same as the original bodymount but 2" higher) blocks, I've had to wait as my poly manufacturers don't do black runs often, so he's had a mate of his do them out of the same material they make Landy bump stops from :)

That should then give me room for these babies -



BFG ATs in 235/75/15 flavour...

Then change the transfer box and diffs to 'old'(er) Jimny ones which should correct the gearing...

Hoping for good weather on Sunday!

Meanwhile, lots of other little packages have been arriving, and the wife's getting peev'ed... LOL ;)

More soon!
