ok so ;) rules that on out ...
Thanks Martin

By the way, I researched in the past for heavy duty shafts and CV for the jimny and found nothing, anyone knows if there is something like it in the market at present?

I may be well of the bat here so feel free to mock me but
Wouldnt a lockright / detroit type locker be a bad idea in a jimny ?
At least with an arb or kam type locker in the front it can be disengaded to stop you popping cv's everytime it gets some stress on it and as you say as yet there is no reluable hd shaft or cv for our lil jims

Agreed, but was just an idea for the moment, my Jimny is off the road and doing off road only, so am looking for some options to improve it ;)

The locker in the back is doing fine so far and will stay like that for now.
Thing is I broke a CV already and can see it happening again ..... and again .... wouldn't mind stronger shafts and CVs

There are several companys offering HD shafts and CVD's for Jimnys.
www.suzuki-hey.de/
www.zanfi.it/
There are others as well, but these were on top of my list.
The problem with all of these is: The stuff is expensive. Really expensive :ohmy:

I have researched into the front ones with the guys in the states and there is not a solution at present apart from an expensive ARB (or a chinese or german copy).

One of the guys in our club has a lockright in the front diff (2008+ Year model). I'll find out the details of how it was done. If I remember correctly, there were some SJ parts involved.

He probably fitted the internals from an SJ differential, or even a complete SJ axle.
