|

well hi all,
thort i should introduce mysalf and my sj
have bin skiping all over the site since i got my sj over a year ago for idears and help with stuf iv bin stuck with and thourt is was about time i said hi
befor i start...
sory im rubish at speling by the way.
eny how im a fabrication engineer who spends most of the time moding glorified SPAM buggys and bilding custom specialist trailers to go with them.
all so like to play with things that go brooom:)
mostly off the old aircooled vw type, vans bug buggys ect but allso liked a 4x4 from time to time.
as for my sj
its a mildly moded sammi so far
and we all like pics so
as i got it. (good old flebay)
got it in and had a good look and a poke as you do and wasnt to bad
had to weld up both sills and little bit in the wheel arches as well as little bit in the back but ather wise a prity solid starting point
did plan to just fit bumpers maby a cage an djust go play but
then i started to have a bit of a play with it. as i do.
full custom welded on exo cage includeding bumpers rock slides
slite over kill 12000lb winch (it was cheep)
axles have bin beefed up a bit with diff gards and exta rib welded on
sorry for the poor pics
lifted the spings by playing with the leafs and now has parbolic bottom leaf and slitly longer shackes. didnt want to go soa
moved the front shock mounts up about 4" moveed rear shock mounts in to the center and longer shocks and exstened bump stops all round.
seems to be working but yet to give the parabolics a good workout as havent used it since it went for its swim last time out as im renavating a cottage at the mo
has 410 tranfer box in at the min but hoping to nock up a lobster box soon.
has dimondbacks on vit rims with 30mm spacers
5 point harness, fire extinguisher, kill switchs ect,
cb in the dash
ather than that rest is stock.
is still far from finished but as it was 1st time out.
and prity mutch as it is now
dose now has a difrent motor in it as the old 1 didnt like that (little) puddle mutch. (gess who forgot to fit the oil cap propply) whoops!
also has wadeing kit and snorkal (not that it helps when the oil caps of)
the sump had 10L of slugy mud (and a bit of oil) in it.
just thort id show you what i was up to. and see what you think
