Gaz's reasonably priced jimny..

Im not usualy one step ahead lol

yea nessy will give you a shout if there is any outings planned

yes this jimny came with a selection of chrome and halfords add ons

Few more small updates

rear door hinge all battered off the hammer and heat



fitted back up and works a treat no dropping when opening any more,also found a tin of vauxhall arden blue very similar colour so gave it a couple of coats



stick on number plate,not sure if i like it but will do for time been still looking for a skid plate that goes in the gap



Whipped the rear bumper off as my friend who is making me recovery points wanted some measurements so thought while this was off i could remove the mud flaps and have a check/clean behind there,plent of mud scraped out but everything seemed solid so happy.



Also i removed the rear seats as i think there pretty much useless and id rather have the space as i oftern carry alot of off cut wood for my dad for his coal fires,and more practical for me,im going to put a wood floor in and also make a removable box for carrying recovery gear tools etc for when out and about playing.



Also the drivers front speaker wasnt working so took cover off cleaned connectors and it works again but noticed they are kenwood speakers are these standard ????



I also got some other jobs finished didnt get pics on these,my friend had made me some brackets for the seat to move it back as im 6 ft 2" and was finding it a squeeze after a few tweaks this has done the job and i have another inch of leg room so much better for me to drive.(i noticed this jimny has had an interior change at some point and its the old style thats been fitted not that it really matters)

I also sorted my spare wheel carrier i spaced out the left side with washers where the tailgate is dinted,wheel now sits straight and the wiper doesnt catch the tyre any more.

I was in a dilemer with my fault code situ p0420,id refitted the eml bulb and tested both o2 sensors and both were working,after a bit of looking into it i was sure it was a carbon'd up cat,having just mot'd it i was toying with de-catting it but the cat doesnt rattle and it hasnt collapsed and seems to drive fine either that or its been hollowed out previously cant check without removing it.so i had an idea with past hot hatches ive de-catted it normally puts the eml on theres a bit of a cheat where you can buy a spacer to take the 2nd o2 sensor out of the flow of the gas,any ways ive fitted one to my jim and so far so good no fault codes and no light on the dash just need to see what its like on fuel now.

i also gave it it's first was since i got it down the petrol station

Well done Gaz it's coming along well.
The Kenwood speakers are a bonus as it's not unusual for the original to fail/rust on the drivers side.
I had to replace mine .............

The originals are Sanyo, and commonly fail... i replaced mine too

Dont suppose you still have the handle surrounds do you? I need a drivers one.

No sorry sold them
