That looks so neat, I like the wheels and the winch install looks tidy on the front. Well done that man, nice.

Replied by Andy2640 on topic Its been a while, but i'm back! Ka-boom!!
Thanks guys! The winch has been a god send. Got myself stuck in some mud up the quarry last week. Used my new tree trunk protector, slapped on the extension strap and out i popped! Nice knowing that when on ye tod, i can attempt all sorts of routes, safe in the knowledge i can get myself out. Been looking into ground anchors for when theres no trees about. Brotpart do a gooden, but im not sure because i find them potentially dangerous. Held in by metal stakes, if one decided to ppp out at that force, god help anyone in the way. So gonna passs on that for now.Undercoated the jimmers with lanolin. I love lanolin, its natural lovely to work with, eco friendly non messy and gives the car a nice farm like whiff hahahhaha.On 16 inch wherls, ive noticed no difference, and off road its great. Not going for a lift yet, from what ive heard OME seem to do the most comprehensive kit, has excellent reviews and soeley loves his. Good enuff for ol soeley, its good enuff for this old sheep dog.Nice video the othrr day from the king himself (martin). That was an eye opener for sure!Anyways, lookin forward to the nxt jimny meet, cant wait for that one!Cheers.Edit: Some install pics and other tidbits.
TYRE PRESSURE GAUGE. Buy cheap by twoce in action here!! Buy once...cry once....buy cheap cheap...buy twice!! If there was ever a true statement!!

MEDI KIT BY EMERGENCY SURVIVAL SOLUTIONS. A must in a 4x4 or indeed any car.

Rust behind the hubs, lanolin applied. Used lanolin on everything! And applied in the chassis rails by a wand ans compressor. Lanolin is called prolan enduro heavy grade. Amazing stuff.
New toggle switch for winch activation. Works a charm, very happy with the warn set up, the power is astonashing!!

Winch installed. It was a very easy install, very sturdy, and quality of bracket was amazing.

Looking good!

Where are you getting your Lanolin from and in what quantity please?
