New jimny build thread

Most agree its louder pointing backwards and I personally think it looks much nicer.

Thats good to know have been toying with the idea of cutting the front bumper down abit (not to the extent of yours just an inch or 2). Had thought maybe a dremel with a small cutting disk would work well.

Would be shitting it about screwing it up tho lol.

I had the same feeling didn't fancy messing up, and that would do just as good as a job as a jigsaw if not better. Personally i'd do it I think it gives a different and better look and less chance of it snagging in deep mud!

Need a stick on number plate first.

Would like to keep some of the black bit just as the bottom edge if that makes sense.

Jimnys look smart with there snorkels must admit! Loved it when I fitted mind makes it look more mean haha it does sound better facing backwards much admit plus if it's peeing down with rain I like turning it backwards anyway

Sprayed up and now on the back! Spare wheels looks far better on the back then the roof...

I notice your spare isn't a special track!! I have a similar thing. Is it ok to have it on to get you home?

It's the same size but yeah to get home I think, which I hope I won't be far because the different tread can wind your differentials up!

:huh:

A little too much articulation and my wheel rubbed!

It'll be fine in 2wd. Just avoid using 4wd on grippy surfaces.

Few updates since i was last on this thread, got rid of my special tracks as they made so much noise on the road, but im now on the search for some mud terrains!

Tinted my rear windows (need patience) which was not the easiest and also fitted my cb radio, painted most of the underneath of my jimny black, trimmed arches with fitted arch extensions, and trimmed my rear bumper recently as it now looks abit even to the front, hope you like it put alot of time and thought into this and still more to come!

Not posted in a while but got a cargo net, two spots which will need wiring up, and a new set of shoes at a cheap cost, look spot on!

Although one of the alloys scrubbed on my track rod end do purchased two 5mm spacers to sort it put hopefully!
