2003 M13 early KAP build.
3" Trailmaster lift with 1.5 Spacers on front
Customised winch bumper and roll cage
235/85R16 Maxxis Bighorns on 16" Rims, 4:1 Rocklobster, Rear ARB locker and on-board air
Corrected arms all-round, rear disks, Recaro seats and harnesses

We have a locker.
Drifts beautifully on the right surface.
Once entered " fastest figure of eight" competition at a 4x4 event. It was aimed at classic land rovers which have a terrible turning circle and were driven by men in flat caps. It was designed to be a slow driving skill competition.
Jimny with locker engaged and revs on the limiter aced it in a fraction of the time of anyone else.
Was disqualified as "not in the spirit" although was told it was the most impressive lap they had ever seen.
Also, on the road in the wet when quiet, I believe it goes around mini roundabouts particularly well, allegedly

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Be careful, it will roll onto its side if the back end swings out and clips a kerb or the verge whilst it is going sideways. (Highsiding the bikers call it)

A long time a go when I was a skint student and didn't want to replace my ageing tyres, I'd regularly be drifting around corners and spinning on mini roundabouts
Did scare me when my missus at the time and I were on the dual carriage way and I had some grip issues!
