Installed wheel spacers, torqued the bolts and checked all the bolts and nuts on the shocks, rocksliders, etc.
Not the best of pics but you can see the spacer effect. It's 32mm spacers. I was expecting more wobble etc but no ill effects. In fact steering stiffened up a bit and cornering feels a little more planted.
I also hammered the pinch weld at the rear a little more flush to make space for the wheel going into the arch. there is no rubbing in turning etc, I just have to go check out the extreme articulation situations, to see if it touches anywhere. I don't think it will looking at the arc.
It should track nicely in the trails now esp some of the sand trails around here.

Hope you guys don't mind all the pics....
Playing in the mud!![:) :)](/media/kunena/emoticons/8.png)
Playing in the dunes with some bigger vehicles.
Parked small to large
The truck closest to camera is insane - it has a Corvette 5.7L engine in it. If interested I'l ltry get a video of that thing in the dunes.
Up and Over
Whoopla!
Guy standing there - first time experience with a Jimny...He was amazed at these little vehicles.
Trying to recover a stuck Ford Ranger. I didn't have proper grip and she was really on there. Eventually needed the Landy to come in from a different angle toe help recover.
Trail here in the Western Cape.
Snow!!! First time ever with my Jimny on snow!!![:P :P](/media/kunena/emoticons/15.png)
Pulled off along side the road to take some pics of the flowers.
Close to my house. Stopped for Icecream.

Great to see your still having lots of fun offroading your jimny NOX, and I do like the alloy wheels sprayed black.
Thank you for posting the photos, keep it up.
