TIME FOR MODS

start prospecting for gold, and or diamonds.

Here's a freebie unless you count the wear and tear on the jigsaw!

Cut the front bumper.

I cut my bumper along the line of the top of the centre black section,













I left the centre, now lower, fixing tabs and cut a section from the black centre section which with its fixings has left the bumper fairly well fixed, unfortunately cutting a hole for my winch mount has weakened it slightly

some decent tyres is about all you need.....

more details on that front recovery point would be good mate;)

Hi mate and welcome, to be honnest it depends on what your going to use the jimny for, if its just some light green laning/pay & play days then I would just get some mud/All terain tyres, if you only have a small budget get yourself on ebay. I ran mine on some decent all terain tyres for tyhe 1st 12 months and it was very capable. there was no where my mates v8 disco went that I couldnt you will be surprised.

Thanks

tyres first...
Either look for some 2nd hand or get something like Kumho KL71 that will do the muddy stuff and still be OKish on the road.

Then go have a play and get muddy. You should soon realise what mods you need to make to have the level of fun you want. (which is normally some sort of supension lift and/or body lift and bigger wheels).

Assuming you want to mod to go offroad that is and you don't want a street pimp wagon :woohoo:

2" suspension spacers and some mud tyres will get you pretty much anywhere.

Be careful, modding your jimny can become a slight obsession. Start off with small things and see where you end up! If your not wanting to fork out too much for wide tyres you could get wheel spacers and you could use spring spacers rather than lift springs.
Having said that, I used spring spacers at first and without realizing my 11 year old springs had sagged loads. When I put a pro comp 2” lift on with new springs and took the spacers off, it actually lifted it 4.5” from where it stood before any spacers! :whistle:

Oh I forgot to add, I sprayed my wheels too!

Very true once you start it doesnt end. Mine was standard and now its hardly original ha
