jimny progress was created by robs5230
had the jimny about 2 months now and removed all the mods i didn't want.
out with :
winch , cb

in with :
new shock bushes all round
insa turbo dakar tyres
aisin manual hubs
rear shock relocation brackets

i tried today to install the spacer to cure the lean but the axle just wouldn't drop far enough. need to get spring spacers. running well considering the lift , tyres etc . doing around 200 miles per tank.
been in touch with KAP suzuki. they have confirmed its a vehicle done by them a while ago :cheer:
all in all , lovin' it. its gonna be around a long time. does everything i need of a motor.
the manual hubs have made a big difference ( must have been dragging a sticky vac hub around ) no noises now and believe it or not its faster now :huh:

you may have to take the front calipers off to so as not to stretch the brake pipe also helps the axle to drop lower
