It's been a while since I posted here. I'm still working on my Jimny, because not everything is working as it should. Main flaw was the clutch which happened to clog with mud but i managed to work it out

Now I decided to do some upgrades but I will post them later

Now some pics form competitions.

Preparing for competition with my wife

Finally some success

And how Jimny looks like now waiting for some upgrades

Considering the terrain you drive. I'm amazed that you still haven't installed a proper rollcage with cross tubing in the main hoop. It's a rather cheap thing to do which could potentially save both yours and your wifes life in a rollover.

The rollovers are at like 1 mph speed so there's nothing to worry about

But never say never

I'll be honest and say that I wouldn't do that to my Jimny.........maybe in my younger days. But it DOES look like fun.

I started out with nothing & still have most of it left

A mid-season "small" upgrade - Toyota LJ70 axles with Profender coilover suspension.
Front mounts:

Rear:

I'm going to test it in competition conditions on saturday. Fingers crossed

New suspension and axles did very fine, but due to both power steering and steering rod failures we had a rollover. I ended up with 3 stitches on my elbow and few bruises

I'm going to install a hydraulic steering kit.

Hello everyone, it's been long time since I've been here. I just finished the biggest off road competition in Poland (190 teams in 4 different categories). Well "finished" isn't the most proper term, because I blew up front diff and reduction case before the end

But here are some photos:
