Dave's "S200KYS" Jimny 'laner Build...

Bought... from the ORA (OffRoad Armoury), I believe they'll still make them to order?

Job for today... replace the rear prop as the UJ has gone in this one -



See the UJ wobble in the yoke without the diff flange moving...?

There's a noticeable "ting" when pulling off too...

Time to swap one of the spares in and later rebuild this one then...

AH, update... Prop off the Jimny and the UJ is well and truly knackered... go to fit one of the many other props I now have "in stock" and none of them fit?! Wrong length or wrong end*, so I've just come back from the local friendly garage around the corner, and they are going to replace the knackered UJ in the prop that was on the Jimny, and swap the end from one prop to another from my stock pile, and replace the UJ at the same time so that I also have a decent, correctly fitting spare...

UJs will come to them tomorrow, Wednesday, so should still be ready for greenlaning on Sunday... Good job I started early in the week...!

Oooh, and there's two sizes of UJs? So they've ordered two of each size to be sure, and will send the others back...



*Some are 8mm and some are 10mm, and have different PCDs too...?! :blink:

Thanks for the up-dates Dave, always interesting to read what you are up to .....

Bit of play there dave good job you spotted it.when i fitted my rear prop i had to drill the diff flange so it would fit.

It was even worse off the car Gaz

Thanks Tadpole

After reading Martins writeup again, and Gaz's comment, I think I might also clamp an 8mm prop onto the diff flange with mole-grips and drill a set of 8mm holes between each of the 10mm holes, so I've got a universal diff flange
