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

Finally found myself a set of manual hubs to use with the Big Jimny hub adapter. They had been sitting outside in the dirt for a couple of years so needed to be refurbished before fitting.

Stripped down and let them soak overnight




This shows the axle and the vacuum rim that made the spacer ring necessary

The finished job. Took it down the road to test them out on the dirt. All was good

Have been Suzuki busy lately. My wife has upgraded from her 2006 VVT Jimny to a Cooper S CAMDEN Mini.

Great for two reasons;
1. I get to drive her Mini.
2. I get to upgrade to her Jimny.

So I've been busy swapping all my mods to the new Silver Jimny. Black Jimny will soon be sold as a rather tidy stocker.

Here's a pictural storyline.

Used the Black Jim as a template to fab a false floor/slide out bed frame for overnighters.






Lifted the spare



Mesh grill



Swapped the susupension and front bumper




Fitted these



Camped here. Stockton Beach, Newcastle




Got this for Christmas



Cut this



Made a cage for my 2nd battery



Snorkel



These



and a towbar

Thanks, it's worked out really well. Took a lot of trial and error. The front seats fold totally flat once the headrests are removed and the base extension slides out over the top.

like the rear diff
is it paint or a decal?

The diff is a combination of both. The yellow background is painted and I sell the eyes and mouth as a sticker set.
