New Jimny(at least new to me)

eBay item number:


is for a landrover axle breather set but if you look at thier shop they do Suzuki as well!
I got the tyres from my local tyre company Wheeldons in Leek Staffordshire, £54 + vat Inc fitting and balancing.
Having now done 60 miles with the spacers on the hubs I have to say it drives far nicer than it did, it feels better when in the ruts as well. I can turn the wheel and climb straight out as I present lugs to the rut rather than side wall!

cool mate, get some pics up once your cameras alive.

Garry - where and what is a steering damper?

heres a pic of mine

Nice.
Axel Breathers on the cards for ours this summer too.
Wheel spacers and studs ready to be fitted.. Wheel spacers purchased from the same guy that Dave Vits 4 Vits used to supply (not the Ebach ones)

a nice writeup please on the breathers kit.

Castor correction and one of those nice looking dampers also on the cards.

Garry - and does it improve the 'death-wobble' ??

Brett,
Not really supposed to help with "Death Wobble", certainly doesn't on mine and I created the damper! Helps with "tram lining" - where you get into a groove on the road and the car tries to follow it (inside lane of Motorway where the lorries create "ruts"). Also helps with staying in one lane instead of two! (the wandering around road at speed). It firms up the steering and makes it more positive.

As martin says, i noticed a little difference, but mine never really suffered from the death wobble.

Well here are some pics of the jimny so far.
She started of standard with 57k on the clock with 1 lady owner.
Well that shows where I am at.
The Kumohs are great.
Since the spacers i find that the dreaded D wobble has abated somewhat!
I will post a much better set showing the Breather kit being installed.
I am due to fit a winch behind the front standard bumper and again will upload a full build description and build.
With the Power flow back box it sounds kinda fruity!

Axle breather kit is now on and fitted.
The kit I have comes almost complete.
The only extras you will need are 2 spark plug caps 1 will be a straight and the other needs to be a 90 degree one.
First off locate the breathers on front and rear axle. These will be a small nub that has a sprung cap on top. Lever this off then zip tie the spark plug cap to it(90 degree to the front) push the breather kit into it and zip tie that in secure.
Route your pipe from the rear along the off side ad all the brake pipes go that side. Again zip tie secure.
Push the pipe up into the engine bay leaving yourself enough slack to put them in your snorkel if like me your planning on this mod.
This took around 15 mins from start to finish.
Just the transfer box to do next.

Well, update since last post.

Winch fitted between front chassis legs, front bumper trimmed right back.
Manual hubs fitted.

2" ora body lift kit ordered on the bay! £65.00 special offer!

Saving up for hoses and 3" lift kit.
Body lift is on offer at the mo.

Did you take pics of the winch fitting etc!

Body lift arrived from ora.
Any advice would be appreciated on fitting etc....
