Hi mate and welcome to the club. I have sourced all my off road bits off Ebay ad the shop on this site. It can get very expensive if you get the bug. Just have a search around ebay for the 2nd hand bits thats probably your best bet.

thanks

james

Why do you want a sump shield / steering guard on a Jimny?

There really is no need unless it's for vanity. Land Rovers need them because they have steering arms made of cheese. Suzuki's have them made of proper metal and they are in a different position and out of the way.

How about this?

If you look at the youtube video it shows you how it will sit. You can dicide if it will help or not. That jimny has also got a 2" trailmaster lift. Probably the best 2" kit you can get.

Iam not sure where the parts come from but they look well made.
