Removing plastic bits

So here is the Jimny exterior before I start, all in fairly good condition.


Nice clean bumper

Nice front bumper and A-bar thingy

Door plastics, hmmm I might keep this on to stop water getting into the cab


Remove the rear bumper, few bolts, few plastic clips and disconnect the rear light cluster

Remove the drivers side rear arch and side skirt

Remove the passenger side rear arch and skirt

Remove A-Bar  thingy

Remove front bumper

Remove front arches


So here is how the Jimny looks now with the plastic bits gone. Those outrigger parts on the chassis need to be cut before I mount the winch.

Here is the back arch. The bit sticking out need to be drilled out as it has spot welds and maybe the arch needs to be enlarged, a nice virtual lift
