Re:Aussie 2006 Jimny - 4" lift, 30" BFGs, cool wheels

Looking good mate!

why did you change the rear driveshaft??? :huh: ( I have the same at the beginning with my new transfert box 4.16 )

Without going and measuring them, I think the Original shaft is too short. The replacement is an SJ front shaft.

With the ORA kit the original Samurai transfer box rear flange is used and therefore the Jimny prop will not bolt up to it as it is the wrong shape for a CV prop, and also its too short. With the Measson kit you get a new rear output flange which allows the original Jimny prop to bolt straight to the Samurai transfer box and it also corrects the propshaft length issue.
On my rear prop I had an ali spacer/adaptor made that bolts to the Sammi flange but takes an original Jimny prop.

Much better explanation than my lame effort. Cheers

Have been doing some paving in a townhouse courtyard, filled the trailer with soil and concrete, went to the tip and dumped the rubbish today. For those that think a Jimny won't pull much weight here's the weigh bridge docket. Note the Gross Weight.



As soon as I dumped the 480kg (Nett waste weight) I went and loaded up 500kg of 10mm Concrete mix and three 20kg bags of cement + tools.



Yeah my gears do help, I don't dump the clutch or ride it, she'll happily pull all day long. Wish I could say the same about the mrs.

This will be handy on the job. I plan to set it up so it can be used front or rear.
