I am now a fully fledged SJ owner!! :rockin:

Just got back from picking it up. The 90 miles home was a breeze.

I will post some photo's tomorrow when I can take some in the daylight.

Can't wait to have a proper go with it tomorrow.

Cheers

Buck

90 miles is quite a stretch I have to admit. Not for the car, but for the driver's ass. Glad it's not dampened your spirits bub. :D
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

If I have done it rights using the img code this is my new pride and joy.

Needs some attention but drives well, the 90 miles home definitely confirms that. When I get back from work will be able to give it a light go round the farms I have shooting rights on. Only driving in FWD as I still need a new prop shaft for the rear!! The guy I bought it off has bought one from ebay and it will arrive with him early next week. I am working near where the chap lives so will pick it up on Tuesday all things going well. So by next week end will be running in 4WD!!

Cheers

Looks tidy that :rockin:

If it was me, first thing would be to get the prop, secondly get rid of those awful lift shackles, a huge pet hate of most people on hear :twisted:

I did see some Add a leafs on hear the other day, might be worth investing... as most lift springs set you back 2-400 notes :thumbdown:

Other than that she looks tidy enough, glad you got sorted mate :thumbup:

Yeah I would recommend the add-a-leaf kit!!! You can do all the springs for £100... Nice and easy!
