05 A/T 2" trailmaster, 235/75 was created by ShuDuck
Hey people, I read the forum frequently so I thought I would show mine. Got it in January, 44 000km mostly in salt free northern Norway. I love tech, so here are some pics. yes I like pics as well :laugh:


Stock with awful bar



installed new speakers in the front and rear. made a spacer from plexiglass. With a 10" Im very happy with the sound








installed a FM.modulator to be able to use mp3 and sub with the stock unit

2" trailmaster comfort were installed soon after. A great lift, it made the jimny MUCH better to drive. It feels much more robust now, stock it felt under-dimensioned


stock with 235










front done

Spare tire didnt fit right. A spacer to clear the bumper didn`t look good, so I lifted and tilted the mount to make it fit like stock and follow the rear curve


spaced:







debris works it way in between the mount and door, so I added a gasked to save the paint


installed

Looks very nice indeed, congratulations. The rubber gasket idea for the spare wheel mount is a good idea, I'll do the same soon.

How does it drive with 235s ? I understood that 215/75R15 are the limit if you want to keep it as a daily driver and still have enough power available.

thanks guys. It is fine with 235, but only if I shift manually down to 3rd on long inclines. It really works good if you bother to shift down. No problems whatsoever with keeping up with traffic etc.

no trimming needed either = perfectly sized tires

Thanks Renard.

I thought the rear wheel bearing had gone bad, but upon inspection it was just a dribble through the seal. But at least I have the parts for a overhaul of the rear axle ready. Seems to be a common problem that the seals leak?
