I'm in Kintyre, 35 miles from Glasgow as the crow flies, but 120 miles by road, one road in and all it takes is a closure in the right place and the shortest detour is 68 miles extra!

I live 20 miles past nowhere so I'll be lugging a load of gear with me, need to be able to look after yourself on these roads, no mobile signal in a lot of places.
Jimnys can be completely disassembled with following size sockets: 10,12,13,14,17 & 19, Plus some screwdrivers and lever bars

Uneven tyre wear on one side is more likely to be kingpin or wheel bearing issues than tracking (unless the panhard or steering bars have been bent). The wiki section of this site has guides to fix everything. Tyre pressures are on a sticker inside the drivers door.

I'll dig into the issues when I get it home, just hoping the tyre is still legal.
