As opposed to having the rear axle ripped clean off in 2011 and only being held on by ratchet straps when I moved house in 2013 and on axle stands all the rest of the time.

Need to put the front springs on and bleed the brakes to get it mobile and it needs a clutch.

However got some additional plans so although "mobile" will still be in the garage a while longer:

1. New wheels and tyres - going to 31" - just for the look
2. New interior - I have a 2009 interior to replace the 2003 that has spent too much time soaked in mud
3. Wheel arches - going Defender arches
4. Transfer box, may sell the 4.16 Rock Lobster and go 5:1 to help with the 31"
5. strip the vinyl logos and brand it "BigJimny" in some way

I have had enough of 31" wheels as they weigh so much.
