The sump is above the front axle and therefore out of harms way - so why do you need a sump guard?

You often see steering guards but again the steering rods are above the front axle, so the axle will take the brunt of things on a Jimny - unlike some other 4x4's.

A Cosworth engine in a Jimny will leave you with a pile of broken transmission parts I'm afraid. You'd need to upgrade everything!
