Fitting a rock lobster (SJ) transfer box in a Jimny...

I'm struggling with the same problem now, bought the box without a thought to mounting it...... Bit dumb when the mounts will cost me more than the box...

Matey if the prop flanges are 80mm pcd on the sj box i have a front and rear props
Spare in mi shed

Hmmm, suppose it’s not that bad when you think of what you’re getting? The bucket bracket, speedo bits, mounts, prop conversion spacers, and it’s got a mini-spine apparently making 15 mounting points instead of the standard 8 bolts in the two bracket mounts, although i can only see 11? 3 exra on the base of the bucket mount?...

I’ve already got the box with the speedo mount and signal gear fitted though...

And the rear prop conversion spacer...

Reading their item description though, that indicates that their kit needs an SJ intermediary prop from the gearbox to the input flange on the transfer box

Yes the intermediary prop
Dave do you know if the 80mm pcd prop end will fit onto a jimny/standard intermediary
I have 2 jimny one's and was going to have them shortened
Or do i need to buy the 85mm pcd input flange ?

I think that’s what puts most people off... you’ve got to buy the box, get the gears fitted or welded, source a mount, and then mess about with old props...

Hence my wish to use standard Jimny props...

The intermediate prop is a pain too, it’s either get an old SJ one and hope it’s still reusable without being rebuilt, or get a Jimny one shortened to suit...

Just had a thought will the flange off stick shift Jimny transfer
Fit onto the SJ transfer ?
This would mean i only need the props shortened
