This isnt going to be a current build, more what Ive done since owning it nearly 2 years, whilst keeping it on the road.
This was my second car, first 4x4 and have learnt lots starting with taking the wheels off to... well I think its alot.

So, I bought it like this:

95 Sammie with - addaleafs, mits GTO seats, 235 BFG ATs, 30mm wheel spacers, a hard top roof, 85,000 miles on the clock and MOTs dating back to 2004
In Sept 09 for a few weeks I went on a derust (that didnt work) and painting (with halfords paint which was also a mistake) the rear bumper, spare wheel holder and the hardtop roof black.

Made axle breathers with some hose and wired my rear number plate light as it hadnt worked since having it.
Also in Sept 09 I bought a new radiator as mine was moth-eaten, along with doing an oil change and diff oil level check.
I then got the money to insure it
In Dec 09 took apart and re-grease the free wheeling hubs.
We then had that first year of heavy snow, where I went out greenlaning, breaking my front side and indicator case. So a bodge job was needed with plans in my mind for a new bumper anyway I bought LR lights.

Bit of MDF cut to size.

Ran it like that for 3 months.
In Januray 2010 I bought a new battery as mine wasnt holding its charge.
Its first MOT with me in Feb 10
Advisories were the rusted away front outer arches that I replaced with plastic ones.

And my rear spring bushes. I bought bits4vits polybushes and learnt how to do that saving me £30 per hour for our family mechanic to do.
In March I bought myself a nofearzuki front bumper and I also found locally and bought for a bargin some -50mm offset wheels

They were abit too wide and didnt want to add rubber to widen the arches. So sold them and in April 2010 bought some -20mm modulars with Recip Trial MT 30s. This meant I could through the cheap wheel spacers away (ebay).
For the new wheels in May I bought some Genuine Suzuki Locking wheel nuts
After reversing into a few trees I decided I needed a rear window, bought a CB and replaced the spark plugs in June

After offroading in July I killed my alternator and starter, so got it refurbed. Soon after I blew a a main battery positive wire causing me to loose all power meaning something major was wrong with the electrics. I payed out £££ to get the problem fixed professionally.
In September after a few months saving a safety devices internal roll cage came up locally. Never liked externals personally. However it was for a hardtop sj so got a neighbour to cop an inch off the legs and weld the plates back on.
