trotters sammy... updated finally
Re: trotters sammy... it's been a long time coming..!
no shock mounts on spring plates? hmmm ok...
problem solved!
another problem was the locating pin on the new springs was too tall to fit on my axle perches.
a bit of a pain but ground them down so they fitted nicely

all sorted now!
well sort of, its now sat on YJ springs with a trail tough YJ conversion kit with missing link front shackles. all i need now is longer brake lines and shocks to get full articulation out of them

Tidy, looks like the front axle has moved forward a fair bit.
I'll fit my YJs soon enough, preferably before the current springs die so I can use them on the KJA

Nice looking bit of kit and the jimny looks good too

Jimny has a few issues that need ironing out, death wobble for one plus needs a clutch so will have to spend some spanner time on it, but nothing major.
if in doubt, FLAT OUT!
