It was a nice weekend in the mountains, 800km drive (both ways). I slept quite decent in the car but I wouldn't do it for more than 2-3 nights.
I had a problem with the lighter socket, the fuse to be more exact. One of my led strips from the charging port burned the fuse, fixed it only when I got back on the road, in a gas station.
Can you make the passenger seat flat enough to create a flat surface?
Yes, if you take the headrest out and put it on the seat, with some blankets to level it out. It was fine without the blankets but I'm sure when I'll actually sleep, I will need them. Head to the trunk, so only the feet will go on the front seat.
I got 2 mattresses and 2 blankets, plus a sleeping bag, so I'm quite confident it will be fine.
Yesterday I made some spacers and protection for the rear speakers, the membrane was touching the plastic grille before. Now it's moving as it should, no distortion, the sound is better.
I also installed a small led bar over the front license plate, with a separate button (dual button from aliexpress).
Since I was there, I also tried the sleeping mattress... I'm 1.82m and I can barely fit. But I fit, a little in diagonal. If the weather is good, next weekend I'll be in the mountains.
I’m not interested in military stuff. If I want a gun, in can go and buy one. I don’t like rusty junk that’s still good enough to get into trouble with the law.
My favorite finds are coins.
I'm not interested in guns (even if a Luger would be something...), mostly soldier's items, buttons, buckles, lighters, watches, coins, medals, dog tags... mostly German stuff, since they were much "richer" in both wars.
Ammo and guns are illegal to keep, in my country, they are reported and destroyed by the police.
Going back to my car, yesterday I finished the headlight washers. Installed a relay and a fuse (I will do some small adjustments in the future), after that the nozzles and hose.
Yes. This is one of my hobbies and a reason why I need a good 4x4, metal detecting in ww areas.
Same here. Detecting is my favourite hobby.
People here are crazy sometimes, so better go at night or when it’s foggy…😂
Here I can go anytime, almost anyplace (except archeological sites). I know Germany has different laws, depending on the land. I tried it 2-3 times there, not much luck :))
Nice Cartridge ! French Lebel Rifle, right ?
Yes. This is one of my hobbies and a reason why I need a good 4x4, metal detecting in ww areas.
This weekend I installed a 2 usb socket for music, so both me and my wife can have easy access to them.
And started the work for the headlight washer system. Aliexpress washer tank, aliexpress push button, Ford pump, home made bracket for the tank (it ain't pretty but it's functional). After a few tests, I will use universal nozzles with 2 jets, probably mounted on the grille, next to the headlights.
I also placed a small bracket for the relays (led bar, headlight washer and maybe others in the future), on the side of the battery.
Your painting is on the driver site on that piece which is replaced at the passenger site by mounting the Bravo Snorkel?
Then you can disamble it for a correct new painting or you can order a new piece at your local Suzuki dealer.
Yes, on the driver side. I can find correction paint, small bottle or pen... but it's not worth it. The paint is soft, I already scratched it in a lot of places, so probably I will repaint it with Raptor in the future.
Not much going on, the little Panzer hit 15.000km last week. A rock chipped the paint so, as a temporary fix (probably for a long time, if it lasts) I used one of my wife's nail polish. Not my best work but it's not really visible so it's fine.
I know it's not the same quality, not even close... but I couldn't pay that much for an armrest. I paid about 20 euro on ali.
Saturday we had 26-27 degrees, so I worked on the roof noise insulation. STP Profi Light for vibrations and STP Relief for noise.
It's not an S klass now but there is some difference, it's a little bit quieter inside.
I also changed the front grille badge with a black one from aliexpress.
Nice flash-cards to learn bulgarian
Cigarettes are much cheaper in Bulgaria and for me it's pretty close, so once every 2 months I go there to fill up the addiction.
Two more details, hand brake cover (with red stitching, same as the steering wheel) and arm rest pads on the doors.
Also, I had the first official service maintenance at 12.500km. Oil (0w20 Ecstar), oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, cleaned the rear drums (I had a squeak when reversing).
Until next winter, I will probably not have this problem again... I will install the washer kit and see how it is.
Thank you for your replies.
Alles anzeigenI ordered a headlight washer kit but I'm not sure if this will fix the problem... cold headlight, the fluid might freeze on it.
It will go, if you use Liquid, which be not freezing in a range of -30° to -20°.
Otherwise in Switzerland is a shop who offers LED-Headlights like the JB74 C+ has as standard, but with a heated glass.

Yes they are expensiv, but the other possible ways, like putting a heat-ring on the glass, i have seen this is made in Japan, is not allowed in the EU.
I was thinking about some heating... but I can only find some small pieces of heating elements, with about 50w power. No idea if it would be too hot and melt the plastic, or not enough to heat it.
Hi guys, recently I noticed an issue... snow pilling up on the headlights. Did anyone found a fix for this problem? I know it's a rare thing but I had to stop every 30 minutes to clean them.

Ah, ok, got it now... they light all 4, those C are just for design purposes. It's not dynamic, I didn't even want it that way.
Are they flashing completely or do they have a running light?
If running light could you please make a video of how it works?
No daylight, just flashing. I didn't want another pair of lights, the original ones are enough. All I wanted was to get rid of the yellow.
New turn signals for the front, no more yellow. They look good and are bright.
Jimny already has a relay. First time I installed 2 x Bosch, from an older car I had in the past. They already had brackets. Louder but not loud enough.
After that I installed 2 horns with an air compressor, they sound much louder. I had to make a bracket that I attached to the radiator side, from a screw.
