Nobbies Jimny

Nice one Nobby

when I grow up I want to be just like you

that's deceptive - looks more than 3 inches :blink:
you'll have to let me know how it feels on the road when the mods are finnished
what's next, a 3 inch body lift like renard38's

if any one has any clear pics of how to install the damper i would be grateful as i am not a 100% on what it all attaches to

hope these help

My BIG JIMNY damper.

You could shelter out of the rain under it. :woohoo:

Nobby, all i can say is i want mine to look like that.
Funds at the moment will only allow new steels and tyres and I can't afford top tyres so it's remoulds for me.

keep the pic's comming.

Hi Guys

Thanks for all your nice comments as well as the pictures from Halford and dirtydogz. Thats just what i needed. Iam dead chuffed with it. I am going to get some nice pics of it this weekend so stay tuned.

Adamski. The shocks are pro comp es1000's with green boots. and no i didnt fit the spoiler it was already on. They do look good though.

Halford. Nice Jimny! What tyres are they? As for driving, at the moment it likes to wander all over the road! However with in a few days you get used to it and its not to bad, you just have to keep making small corrections. Thats driving it with out CC bushes and steering damper. These should realy help. Let you know when its all on .

Big Bill. My tyres are Insa Turbo Sahara remoulds. They are top quality. You wouldnt know if it didnt have remould written on the side!. Got mine from www.4x4tyres.co.uk . Cheap and fast delivery. Note its co.uk and not .com. The .com one is a different website.

Goat. You could indeed. :laugh: Makes working under it nice, lots of light. :laugh:

Renard38. Thanks mate. I must say yours is a true inspiration. Love all of your video's.

ShuDuck. Thanks as well mate.

Well thats it for now. Stay posted for some more detailed pics.
Thanks again guys.

( can any one else only see half the pictures when you click on them? I might just be me but its a bit annoying!)

Hi Nobby
mine's jut had 205/75R15 General Grabber AT2's fitted this week - see Halfords Dog Taxi under My Jimny section for info - totally changed the cars feel :woohoo:

yes it's a pain - I don't bother with them anymore, simply left click over the image and open image in new tab. (google Chrome)

Look forward to your comments wrt the ride and feel once the final mods are made - I keep thinking about a lift, but aside from lack of funds at the moment, I don't really want to sacrifice any road manners as it's my daily drive.

...... and loads of pics of course

Yeah they are 15 x 7. I got them from 4x4 tyres .com and cost £34.80 each.
www.4x4tyres.com/15-x-7-5139-suzuki-jimn...-modular-steel-wheel
They say they come with the inner part studded but they dont. I dont know if they are the cheapest but the wheels are good quality.
Just noticed the smaller writting says they are 16x8 in black. Best double check. These are the ones i ordered and they are definitely 15x7 in silver.

Hi all

Got some pics. as promised. Will get some shots of the whole car when i get time.



Rear end. KAP panhard rods and pro comp es1000 socks and springs.






Front end. same as the rear. :laugh:




New longer brake line all round.







And my lovely new wheels. Not very loud at all on the road. I was realy surprised.

Hopefull put it through its paces soon and see what it can do. Get some better pics. I have a nasty feeling my left king bearing/wheel bearing is knackered so i may have to get that done soon. If it costs to much at the garage i might have a go myself, seeing as there is a "how to" on the website.

Cheers for looking

Nobby
