I've had my SJ413 for quite a while now but it failed the first MOT I put it through. A blown exhaust and too much play in the steering - a bit harsh I thought, I'm sure not going in the direction you point them is a standard SJ feature.
I decided to take the opportunity to get some power steering added and sort out the suspension, the leaves on one side were really sagging. I told my wife it would be a four week project ...
... fast forward six years to erm
... last week and it's just past it's test. 
It's great, I love it. Rattly and bumpy but loads of fun. I took it boating on Salisbury Plain with the kids and a couple mates last weekend, it made it there and back again. Result!
What's done:
Power steering (mostly Vit bits and a bracket made by a local welder)
3.5 lift with reverse shackles
New shocks
A bit of welding on one of the sills
New exhaust to keep those MOT chaps quiet.
Braided brake leads from Lama4x4 (I highly recommend David there but put aside a couple of hours if you're going to phone)
Still to do:
Swap in a Nikki carb that I've got (I think it came from someone on this forum - Andy/Oblivion ??)
Roll cage
Free wheeling hubs
Electric fan
Loads of other bits and bobs.
If I can work out how to do attachments there should be a picture below. Cheers.
