Stan2 Jimny

Hi All,
I just bought my first Jimny today, to be named Stan2. I still own an SJ413 called Stan. I also have a Land Rover Hybrid called the Offender as it used to offend all the LR purists as it's part Series 3, part Defender, part Discovery, and a Nissan X-Trail as my daily driver.

Plans for the Jimny:
3" Lift (Ordered)
Virtual Lift (cutting arches and removing front wings) :evil:
Extended Brake Lines (ordered)
Vitara Wheels (have already)
Malatesta Kobras 245/70 R16 - 29.5 - 30" (have already)
SJ413 Transfer Case (have already)
4.9:1 Reduction Gears (have already, need to fit them)
Rockwalt Transfer case mount and protection
Hardened Panhard Rods
12000lbs Winch
External Roll cage
Weight reduction
CB Radio (have already)

Stan 2 - Straped down and ready to head home


Stan - Parked up at Annagh Hill 2013 as I had a broken Fuel Pump


Stan - parked up as I ripped off exhaust while being towed backwards in very thick mud. New exhaust fitted since


The Offender - Some light offroading


Here is some winch action in Stan in our forest:


Here is a nice track in Dartfield in Galway



Parts won't get to be fitted until start of August due to work related travel.
Thanks for looking
Dave

Nice one Dave, looks like you will be busy ...................... :whistle:

Been busy for the last year so this project was on hold. Defender - Sold. Stan (SJ413) - Engine dead , then Sold.

Check out my YouTube channel if interested in our offroading for the last year:
Stan Suzuki Channel

In the mean time I was offroading an SJ413, but that now had a broken read diff, smashed drivers window, broken read dampers and some cosmetic issues.

So back to Stan2

2015-03-07 - Some more pipework

Made some real progress today, it's starting to look like a proper offroader now

Mmm I'm impressed with the 'cage' Stan ............

looking good that chap
and that cage is like the one in my head :ohmy:

This is my kind of JimJam - looking forwards to see how it comes out.

Thanks for the kind comments fellas, there are still a few more bars to go onto it yet. The Rockwatt gearbox should be arriving some time in the next week or two as well, planning the rear winch now and also thinking of getting a lockrite for the rear as well.

Has anyone installed a lockrite themselves?

Dave at Bits4vits has done a tidy job of a rear winch install around an ORA rear bumper, which maybe hard to source now, albeit you appear to have the skills to fabricate things and have a big bit of box section already in place.

Have a look at his blog on bits4vits on it anyway.

nice work

supergaz is the expert in fitting lockrites - sure he'll be along soon
