Phil Bailey (aka jimjim4x4) has sent in some pictures of his Jimny. This is the third one he has built (he must be a glutton for punishment!) and the pictures below show it in all its current glory. Prior to this it was a write off, having had an argument with a bus shelter, so it was a variety of colours as each panel was a different colour to the next....
You will have seen that Andy is also going down the Rocklobster route (See here for part one). He is a bit further advanced in the process than me, I am still awaiting the mounting kit.
Andy has been doing his RockLobster on a budget and has therefore built his own mounting kit....
Andy has sent in some pictures of his CB mount.....
There must be a craze at the moment - a number of people are building and installing RockLobster Transfer boxes to Jimnys at the moment.
Between us there are a variety of solutions, I am going down the Offroad Armory route whilst others are going through the Rob Storr, DGTuning or Home Made routes.
Andy Whalley is working through the Home Made route.
As a reminder, this is Andy's Jimny.....
A rather nice Jimny from Robert Elliott who uses it for RTV trials.
