Newbie with a jimny/LJ80

Post by lj80stori » Tue Jun 17, 2014 10:27 pm

Hello all,

After years of watching my father owning one 4x4 after another I finally purchased a suzuki jimny (one careful lady owner... yeah right) it was a bit rough and I spent loving hours doing it all up. Now he is all done and looking like show room spec (with big wheels) I decided that I needed a new challenge. Within the next few weeks I will be the very proud of an LJ80. I am hoping it's as simple as the jimny to work on although I may be posting in the forum for some advice and part. Hoping to get the LJ as close to perfect as possible so we have another one on the road.
