do you have any photos of it at ride height? I don't want to be a doubting Thomas (well, not any more than normal anyway) but I reckon that would sit pretty high at ride height.

Other than wanting to see a bit more balance, I think it's very cool. I especially like the way it hasn't been stripped or cut up like most of the UK cars.

That's not the same car Chris - It has conventional springs and radius arms, not the triangulated 4 link and coilovers.

I reckon the coilover car will sit much higher setup like the way it is in the flex photos

There are some nice jims there. But how big is too big. The bigger you are the harder you fall type of thing. There getting cheaper now to. At the auction they start at $6,000.

It will be my next project, when my Sierra finaly fades away.
Jimnys are becoming the same as Sierras were when I got mine.
IE in the wreckers, getting cheap to buy, after market mods are prevalent and parts are easy to get.


Now I need to wash my mouth out with soap :D

I dont think it will ever fade away, just get more mod cons intergrated on to it.

re: jimnys - Need cutting before bigger tyres go on compared to a sierra. parts are more expensive but in comparision to a sierra.

All of that is true at the moment, but I think it's slowly changing.
Probably right about my Sierra, it would need to be surgically removed :D

What mods are you planning now? I just got the price for some EN26 axle shafts for the full floater.
