New Jimny(at least new to me)

Hi Jon,

I have taken the spacers out as that was one of my thoughts.

The wheel is off centre so took it and the airbag off to turn it back to the correct rotation.

I think I just need to spend some time on the panhards and steering link.

You can straighten the steering wheel using a pair of spanners on the steering arm under the front of the car.

Some pics.

As i initially modified with Spring spacers, then onto the winch and finally +3 on front, +3 on back with spacers still in situ.

+2



Winch.



Arch/Bumper trimmed.



+3 fitted.




front view.



I have fitted my +2" body lift from those kind people at ORA bought in their sale for £60.
Fitted like a dream and no modding of the gear stick required as i have pushy button thingy's instead of a transfer lever.


I will take some pics later.

Wowsa, thats MASSIVE!

All you need now is some 16" GV Rims .... and a Lockrite in the rear axle...

And that lift it will 'settle-down' once you've been out a few times!!

so thats what +7 looks like :woohoo:
just wait untill you have 31s on that'll be another inch of lift

do you need oxygen at those heights?

16" with 31" special tracks are on the shopping list as well as a Lockrite!

The lift has settled somewhat since it went on. The body lift has made it seem a lot taler than just the lift kit.

I am well chuffed with her road manners to be honest it doesn't handle much worse than when she was on +2 spacers.

Still cruises at 60 plus with no weave or wobble, I think for peace of mind i am going to pt steering damper on.

When i fitted the KL71 i measured them at 29" and a mate has 10.5 x 15 x 31" special tracks on a Landy (sorry for swearing). They measure just under 32.5"

I may get another 2-3" Lift!

Might be wrong but you'll only get half that as axle lift

oh and you'll need a rocklobster as well :evil:

aint i thick!!! ur right maybe 1-1.5" lol

The vvt pushy button has a lower final drive ratio than the others by a bit so i am hoping 31's will be ok'ish.

Very nice ride. Great looking.

For the 31'' you will need to change the gears of our transfer or you will have to remove the button 4x4 system and instale a t-case with 5.14 gears.
The same mod was made from a friend of mine before 3 years and he still has it working like this, but with
toyota land cruiser 70 axles.:evil: .

For lift more than 3'' caster kit doesn't affect right,and you need to fit caster radius arms.
I had caster kit with 4,5'' and changed it with caster radious arms for 4'' lift.

Also to avoid roll over you should change your front and rear bump stops with a set of longer.
Don't forget that,very important.
And last for every inch lift you get the half of it width must get to the wheels,so you can have good stability on road.

Thanks for the tips.

I am trying to sort longer bump stops.
