Well surprisingly it went through an Mot this morning. Now I will start tidying the thing up.

It needs a steering damper as its more like sailing than driving at the moment.
Thinking I might tub the arches so I can put the axle back underneath.

At least it will be usable for the snow!

Well I drove the SJ and the brakes pulled, so I took the rear drums off to fine a seized right rear wheel cylinder. And the rear shoes are fairly worn. So a bit more to do before it goes for a Mot.

No photos but I spotted an SJ today. Was near Sarret, Hertfordshire the truck looked lifted with a snorkel, big wheels and wide rubber arches. Covered in moss but think it was dark blue underneath all the moss. Wondered if it was anyone off here? I was in the T5 transported with a Frazer Nash on the...

You bore me mate! im around them constantly and I cant get enough of them. Sorry no more escort bit in this thread then. Today I crimped new terminals on the eBay Indicators, changed a couple of dead bulbs and tried to get the car as ready for an Mot as I could. Dad washed and hovered the car out w...

I liked the idea of trying a pay and play day and if there are any greenlanes still open around Hertfordshire or surrounding areas would be fun to try. The Sj has bronco grizzly claw 15" tyres on it, they not chunky enough but don't know if people rate them or not? Also has a spring over axle c...

Thanks, that's confirmed what I had thought. Ah well may as well stick it on eBay and find myself a more suitable winch.

I have been given a Superwinch s2500 for free, I know its not really man enough on paper, but would it be of any use if I did get stuck? Or am I just giving myself a false sence of security if I was to fit it?

Gives me a good excuse to make a nice winch bumper.

Now I see why you said you had a fair few spares!

One of my tappers sounded a bit happy and loose, after seeing that photo I think I best check them sooner rather than later!

I would like to come to a meet or offroad day. The truck has no winch or additional recovery points. Anyone point me in the direction of a basic list or guide of what's needed?

Yeah it's a mk2 group 4 car been a rally car for at least 15 years, I brought it in Northen Ireland but it was in Scotland previously.
