New member with a 5JJ

Hi folks, just joined the site and I'm an owner of a 2001 5jj.

8000 miles from new and it's new to new.

I paid a hefty price to get this as there isn't many mint ones about that haven't been dropped/high mileage.

Here she is...

Yes, the first pic is how it is now. I've got a brand new genuine seat cowl to pop on too.

I kept all the original bits including uncut everything so it can go back to standard if needs be.

It's got an aftermarket undertray too.
I had to buy a secondhand undertray that had been cut so I didn't have to start chopping my original one up.

My work when fitting the undertray....

And the result after many hours of carefull work...

I done that to my 4XV, it transforms the rear end big time, looks 100% better imo, nice work dude

Cheers mate. I spent about a week on and off 2 winters ago doing this.

Apart from the tray, I've just replaced the following..

Exhaust
Hanger (Harris)
Indicators
Dark screen
Genuine seat cowl

I've left it at that as I didn't want to spoil it like many new!!!

I had a 99 model and then had a rsv factory after that.

And then my dads mate announced that he was selling this!!

I couldn't resist paying his crazy price as it is the cleanest I've ever seen.
