welcome to the forum matey!

Are you going to be using the sj on road a lot? if so i would avoid a paddle/comp clutch and just stick with a standard 1.3 clutch.

Get some pics of your rig up matey! 8-)

dont think this sj will ever see tarmac again :mrgreen: bought it off ebay as a bit of an unfinished project, so needs a few quid thrown towards it. but,coming straight from the world of over priced landys,ive seen just how amazing these sj's are in the mud :lol:
