Thanks for all the replies guys.
The kit im looking at for lift is from Daryl at vitmods. It's 2 inch springs with 4inch shocks, brake lines and spring clamps for £400. I'm also probably going to go straight for the HD transfer box mounts as I'm told these are renowned for breaking and transfer box falling out!

I'm also in Derbyshire (Matlock/Crich area)!
I've got a 2001 Jimny which is running and MOT'd but has definitely got it's quirks!

Done a few deals with darell
Tim at lamberts engineering is now doing a cradel for transferbox for a few quid more
this saves buying a transfer guard later

Hello again!
So i guess i totally forgot to update this thread!
So since buying this jimny, it's had:
- 29" MAXXIS Wormdrives on offset steels
- 2 inch black raptor lift
- Heavy duty offroad clutch
- Snorkel
- Full service including diff, gearbox & transfer box oils
- Heavy duty transfer box mounts
- Gearbox mount
- Full breather kit for axles & boxes
- Roof rack
- 42" LED light bar
It's done a wales (Strata florida) camping trip and a bit of local green laning and then more recently a RTV trial with Peak and Dukeries landrover and offroad club which got me feeling the need for more aggressive tyres for events / pay & play days and then swap back to the AT's for day to day.
I'm currently on the hunt for some 16" Vitara high offset steel wheels if anybody knows of any as I'm planning to buy 30" or 31" inch special tracks for them so I don't wind up wanting bigger further down the line.
I've got some other parts ready to fit once the threat of snow goes away:
- Extended brake lines
- Spring clamps
- Heavy duty front radius arms
- Plan to remove front ARB too.
Plans after the wheels are still a hidden winch tray and winch, some sort of home made bullbar to protect bumpers / headlights (clipped a tree on the last trial) and then the flared arch kit (the flat style, not defender style). May also try and add some VVT diffs for the slightly lower ratio as anything other than 1st gear on the lowbox is uselss and the engine hasn't got the grunt!
Which brings me to the long term plan which is a M15 or M16 engine. So any info about the swaps and what's required with going from VVT to VVT etc etc would be greatly appreciated!
And if anyones got any high offset 16's for sale relatively close to Derbyshire let me know!
Here's some pics from the past year!
Cheers,
Andy
