thanks,wipers are fine,can bearly hear that noise when driving,the sound on the vid seems to have amplifyed it quite a bit.

Not much on the shoe string jimny recently as work has been really busy but last sat i did a bit of a check over after my last outing as there was quite a few tough lanes covered,jimny had faired up well just alot of mud still stuck underneath but all was good,serviced the king pins and hand brake,re-sealed my snorkel with some pu sealer rather than normal silicone as this had gone off.

Now when i got the jimny i fitted a cheap 1 3/4" spacer lift kit off ebay,i will say that this has done the job well for the 1500 miles or so ive done with them fitted but,the jimny wasnt driving to clever it felt very soft but at the same time harsh off road and wallowed bad,my jimny has done roughly 118000 miles and ive got no doubt that the suspension has done a fair ammount of that,after a closer inspection the shocks and springs were very tired,ive always wanted a proper lift kit from the start but at the same time i didnt wanna spend a fortune on the jim when i first got it incase it wasnt for me etc but ive grown to love it pretty quickly and has proven its self off road loads of times so id say its a keeper for the forseeable future,ive been saving some pennies up for a rainy day and at the begining of the week a 2" kit came up for sale on here was as new as the owner had not fitted it,a jimny bits 2" lift with 1000es pro comp shocks and rear shock relocation brackets,the kit landed thursday itook the jimny and kit to work with me yesterday and once the work was done i fitted my new kit,ive only done 15 mile or so on it but what a difference its like night and day really pleased with the difference.it needs to settle as it looks massive but sure it soon will.

A pic off my last outing the suspension looking un-even

A couple on the ramp fitting the new kit

and done

well happy and a worth while purchase.

Also fitted a disco 1 armstrong steering damper with the budget bracket

thanks for looking

Looks the business now Gaz.
