Cheers all!

Next up is a diff guard and a funky exhaust. Might use a cherry bomb but a friend who is an excellent mechanic says he can make something unique, he made a great exhaust for my old SJ. Stay tuned lol.

(oh and the small matter of tax and insurance, bugger)

Need to sort out my lights, where'd you get those ones? I need an indicator and sidelight set for the front of my SJ, but I'm trying to be frugal...

Ok, ok, I'm being a cheapskate. I'm an SJ owner, what'd you expect?

It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

Sorry, what I meant was - where the domed LR lenses came from originally. I want to make something for the front end of my SJ without spending too much.
