Im planning on using the Badak extreme 33" for off road. In terms of the offset I havent decided, but I wouldn't mind trimming a little. Ideally I would like to keep the original rims.
In terms of the HD shats, would you get only for the front? If so, why? And for the CV, any brand that you would recommend?
I found this photo of a Jimny using the same tires that I want but in 35". It looks great, at least for what I like.

Longfield shafts and cv's
Go with 26 spline if you can.... But.... This means you have to change out the 22 spline side gears from front differential. With a set of 26 spline gears from a rear differential
With that tyre size and weight plus grip they will give the standard front shafts and cv's will break [often]
Rear shafts are a little stronger so change these if you want to
[when you take out rear shafts for whatever reason you may notice that the splines are starting to twist at diff end this means it's time to go HD version Longfield]
Or some friends of mine do a full floating rear axle conversion these use front wheel bearing hub...... So carrying a spare means that it fits every wheel

Looking for a nice clean and straight LHD Jimny..... Not any more.
Got one that seems to have been magnatized and driven through the "Big Jimny Bits" parts stores too quickly so it missed a few items.

Suspension kit, half shafts, transfer case, prop shafts.
All this sounds spendy. Sit down & do the maths.
See if Tibus are selling a set of portals for cheap. If you dont ask you wont know.
