Suzuki Club UK

Hey Jordi, I used a combination of the two Jimny steering box (cause they fit straight in) and a vitara pump pully and resevoir. Defo worth doing in my opinion. I'v only had mine for a couple of weeks and i couldn't live with out it now.

Got my self a push start button, as my ignition was nackered and i'v been having to hotwire it for the last couple of weeks . I wired it through a 40A relay, so this should hopefully get rid of the occasional clicky starter problem aswell.

Also going to stick a couple of immobilizing switches in while i'v got the wiring exposed.

I got my rocklobster in the post today . Many thanks to Rockwatt for sorting it out for me. It's very much appreciated .

Can't wait to get it on and take it for a blast . My standard transfer box has not been happy since i put the 33's on.

Nice one Ferris before long most of the UKs modded SJs will have a rockwattlobster I've just got one to go on the back of the freshly rebuilt twin Tcase conversion.

That sounds sweet ferris. I've still got my 410 box just sat on the floor. Someone thought it was a good idea to book a 3 wk fly drive to america. With that to pay for and having bn working like a dog the past few weeks time just seems to dissapear.

What was the damage for having it made if you dont mind?

Cheers
Jordi

I'v been doing a bit of maintenance/modifying to the SJ over the past week tryng to sort out a few annying problems. Mainly the massive oil leak, the over heating, and the shocking brakes.

So i changed the sump gasket, the oil pump gasket, and the crankshaft oil seal.
New cambelt and water pump.
Then got rid of the engine fan and put a electric one on.
Fitted my su carb.
Fitted vitara lwb front calipers with new discs and pads.

I did take some pics. Probably not very interesting but i'l post them any way .


Please excuse the shoddy air filter, its was a just temporary measure

Is that rough country steering damper a direct replacement for the standard one?


That is one sweet tin top man

It' not a direct replacement, it fits on slightly lower than the original. One end clamps on to the axle and the other end clamps on to the steering arm.

Well after months of searching i'v finally managed to get hold of a set of YJ springs . Can't wait to get them on the SJ now to see what all the fuss is about .

Here's the kit i bought to fit the YJ's, it's the JPeater kit from rockyroad. It looks like a pretty good kit, the only real problems i'v found with it so far is it's designed for a samurai, so i'v had to modify a couple of the brackets to fit. Also all the bolts they sent me are in imperial sizes . Now i just need to finnish painting it all, source some suitable shocks, and bang it all on the SJ.
