jimny build at last.

Been busy building jimny,, at last i have taken time to list the build.
It started off with a54 plate Mode that was accident damaged

here is the start of the body work

Finally it was done and ready for its VIC check

Passed the VIC check and mot,,now it time for the real work,lol.

cutting off the chassis legs to fit bumper

Next stage was to fit a 3" lift kit





Lift is comlete and castor bushes fitted,,
I now fitted 235x75x15 Insta turb Special track tyres on 7X15 black modulars

A bit of trimming had to be done to take the new wheels

Next stage was the rocksliders

Rear bumper is now fitted so it is time to move the bumper lights up to the higher level lights and fit fog and reverse light to the door.
The spare wheel bracket also needed modified to raise the wheel and space it out from the door.


Started by cutting the centre sectoin away from bracket

I now cut a lenth of box section to lenthen and raise the bracket

Will update the build as it progresses

Looks great, You had a great base vehicle to use and i thnk thats the key to a good project, youve obviously been reading the forums and shopping around for some bits rather than just buying stuff off the shelf. I'm a little curious as to why youve modded the rear lights rather than refit the original ones into the rear bumper.
Great rocksliders, very neat, I do like theose a lot.

Lookig forward to more posts and seeing it used, start saving for the rocklobster conversion !

Great build.
Just out of interest how did you attach the rock sliders?
Would you be making more to offer them up to the forum for sale?

those sliders look very tidy, any more pics of them ?

in fact the whole car is looking very well done

This Jimny is looking great, steel fabrication is very nice. I was thinking of something similar for sliders. Were there any issues when cutting off the bottom of the wheel arches and flares? I'm keen to see some more pics of the chassis mount.
