The swift sport manifold is a fair bit different to the jimny one. I used the Jimny one with a liana throttle body

Couple more bits off the list...
Fitted interior light in the back, wire fed through the old seatbelt bolt hole, fed off switch just below.
Bought a Warrior Samurai 8000lb winch with synthetic rope. Using an Albright contactor as a winch isolator run from a switch in dash. Took the solenoid etc off the end of the winch, mounted solenoid and contactor on the front of the 2nd battery tray behind the headlight, I'm thinking it's a bit more protected up there rather than on top of winch and saves butchering the bumper.
Picked up a load of 50mm cable, crimps and clips, will spend a morning this week making some cables to run to winch. Probably going to bin off the standard wired remote and use a rocker switch on dash alongside the wireless remote.

Got the winch and 2nd battery finished last week. 2nd battery wired through a big relay from starter battery (similar set up to what X-Eng sell). Popped out one of the centre vents in the dash and fitted winch switches in its place, Albright contactor fed off the left switch and in/out on the right. Voltmeter middle shows voltage of each battery when ignition is on.
Made all the winch cables with 50mm cable, terminals fitted with hydraulic crimping tool and finished with some heatshrink.
And then wired up in car
Had to trim bumper slightly to get easy access to lever on winch but fit in bumper no problem. May get some 1inch spring spacers for front as it's dropped approx 20mm with the extra weight.
Picked up some of Rockwatts steering bars and some JB rear recovery points from mc_nebula in for sale section.
Punched a couple of holes in rear bumper and recovery points took about 10 mins to fit.
And then both steering bars swapped over, new bars feel a lot more sturdy than standard parts
Went out for a spin when it was all done and took the scenic route home

Consider fitting the Liana throttle body but with the Jimny idle control valve fitted to it. It's made a difference in the ones I've done.
