Jimny Time!

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Cheers Guys,

Had a proper go over it yesterday, there's a little bit of surface rust on the rear arch lip, and a little bit on the back pan, but nothing a wirewheel and some hammerite won't sort!

Really enjoying the "high up" feel, i'm used to being quite low to the ground.

Noticed you have the 3 spoke alloys. If you get the death wobble around 45mph it will more likely be the the wheels rather than the king pins. They are known to warp when the wheel nuts are tightened up. Not a lot you can do about it except change the rims.

If i'm honest, the wheels were perfect - no death wobble!

The Kingpin bearings were don't prior to me buying the car, so hopefully not too many issues in the future

Although, the 3 Spoke's are no longer fitted, i've got Grand Vitara (I think) chrome steals and AT's!
