Thats what I have on mine now. Work a treat. Rodgerdadodger.... theres a few guides on here sonewhere. Its just a case of takin old hubs off and replacing them with the manual ones plus adapters if needed. You then block off the vac pipes as no need for them. Iv left my 4x4 light flashing so I remember im in 4wd

Thanks for the reply Badboy. That sounds nice & easy

Which hubs fit though? SJ, Samuari? Anything else?? I thought I might as well do this as I need new ridged & rubber pipes!!

I was in the same situation. With knackered pipes. Fitted the Jimny specific AVM manual hubs from Jimnybits.

Not the cheapest but can't fault them.

I connected the vac pipes to the solenoids so the 4wd light stays on when in 4wd and then removed all the pipes from the axles, arms and hubs and soldered the open brass ends going into the hubs to stop water getting in.
