i was wrong :oops:
ive had a champion for 2 years for just getting me out of trouble and its been good until last w/end when it started cutting out whilst pulling the jimny out of a hole on a hill, hoping it just needs a clean. its covered to keep most nasty stuff out but you know wot muds like
Sid James gone but never forgotten
Jimny 1.6 not as good as an SJ but still good

yeah I found that quite funny, If you ask about fitting a bumper it starts a huge debate about the lagalities but if you actually fit one everyone loves it! It's a bit contradictive on difflock sometimes isn't it :lol:

either way looks 8-)

Contract-difflock?

hmmm

yeah I'm quite happy with the positive response :)

I don't think anyone really cares that much about the FPS rules, they just like to have something to argue about ;)

did yours come pre welded???

i had to weld mine up, thats why the out riggas sit so high, and i cut the bullbar bit off, looked silly with my cage, looks good on yours though mate!!!

Yeah pre-welded mine was... I gotta say, I love it!
Although I've been slowly getting used to not having wraparound bullbars.
I have hit the front wing corners a couple of times now :(

So they will be getting straightened out and chequer plated I think! (in black)
