Szabi's Jimny

I am tempted to get wheel spacers instead and keep my alloys...

How much rubbing did you have with -30 , zero lift?

Not much at all, only when I drove down a big pot hole with two other people in it, it was on a lane I used to drive when I took my daughters horse riding and it couldn't be avoided.

The pic of my Jim I posted with all the mud on it was after a day out at a pay and play and I can't recall it rubbing then, depends what you will be using it for and how you drive

Today i placed the order for the 215/75 Grabber AT3s. Looks like i can't avoid the bumper trimming now. Zero offset stays for a while.

Do I have to remove the bumper to cut it or can I go around with a small cutting disc? I was thinking to order some cutting disc, which fits in the drill.

Other question about number plate. I seen on plenty of picture the sticker style number plate which sticked front of the bonnet. Is it legal? Where can I get them from?

I cut mine with a slitting disk you will just need to take off a little bit off at the front of the arch, you won't need to remove the bumper, wear gloves and goggles the plastic shavings get very hot and can stick to you if any ping off the disk.

Im sure Halford had 215 grabbers without any issues, he has sold his Jimny now but I think he is still a member, look at the Halfords dog taxi build thread.

Thanks guys. I am so grateful for all the help.

I think I have some new problem

Today I was looking around in the engine bay area, try to figure out the front bumper fixing/removing issue and I found some leakage close to the AC radiator. AC works fine, but looks like the long vertical tube on the right side , has some crack and something leaks out. Any idea, what is this bit doing?

TrailMaster and steering dumper fitted. Also King Pin bearing got fixed, Very happy with Martin's service recommendation. The workshop charged very fair labour.

Next step is the tires and bumper chopping.

Looking good

I just bought slit disc today... tomorrow I will dust down the angle grinder

Don't forget Googles and gloves

Chop job done. Cutting was easy, but not removing the bolts. All of them were seized. The two bolts on the bottom of the bumper broken in. So no bolts hold the bumper from the bottom at the moment. Started to spray them with WD40...

Also, the bull bar was glued on the bumper, so I have to find something to get rid of the old sticky stuff.

Wednesday is tyre day now

I like the look without the number plate, shame we are not living in Florida
