Re: trotters sammy... it's been a long time coming..!
um well it's been a while..
packed and about to leave for muddy good weekend (that had no mud?)
turned into a rush trying to get wheel bearing sorted couple hours before departure on the jimny but all sorted in time.
next big job was to get the virtual lift sorted to make room for tyres and flex from the yj's
if you have clicky CV's get them sorted asap!! this is the drivers side one from my truck!!
yes they should be inside the CV!!
also found this when changing the CV's yes thats a banana brake pad.
finished with arch rubber fitted
a few pics from day 2 of wiltshire weekend laning and an impromtu days laning when jordi stopped nearby overnight in his big rig
oh and i also bought this beasty
not sure if photo's are in the right order but you get the general idea..
cheers to scottie and dan_2k as always for the help.. they'l be more to come soon hopefully not so long a wait either...

Re: trotters sammy... updated finally
yea for sure! with the yj kit moving the front axle so far forward i think the front VL needs moving further forward.
also been busy doing wheel bearings,swivel seals, axle oil seals and kingpins on jimny, need to do the rear wheel bearings at some point too.
the vit has proved troublesome but will hopefully be sorted soon.
in the meantime i've been rocking a volvo v40 the likes to lose indicator light units at random, has a gaping great hole in the exhaust and now has a sticky calliper...
oh the joys of cars!
