The Jimny transfer box is not the strongest with it's chain design so a Rocklobster would be a good idea regardless of axles. The cheapest way to a Rocklobster is probably Rockwatt. I also trust him to get it right and his bucket mounts are strong and spread the loading on the box mounts where they bolt to the box's alloy casing.

As I wrote earlier.
I will go for either Nissan Patrol or Toyota LC axles. Most people tell me that the Patrol Y60 or Y61 axles are the strongest, but also heaviest.

Don't think I'll spend more money the absolutely necessary on the standard jimny engine and transmission. But the Jimnybits gearing looks interesting. :-)

Check with www.lowrangeoffroad.com . You can get a newly rebuilt Samurai transfer case with 4.16 gears for $649.00 USD. Considering the difference between the USD and your money the price even including the shipping could be a pretty good deal. I just purchased on and I live in Latvia. They offer other gear ratios but the cost is different for each one. They also have a number of upgrades available for it if you are interested. Would be worth you time to check it out.
