"REX"

Hello guys been knocking around the forum for a little while now, asked for lots of advise and admired lots of nice trucks, but haven't bothered saying much about mine so I thought it was time to start a little post about mine and my progress so far.
So I got my Jimny from a guy who was a car dealer but this was his toy. He had already started the modding. It came with a 3inch Kap lift and 215,80,15 malatesta kobra's. After much thought and consideration I decided that this wasn't enough and made some plans and so far it has,
31,10.50,15 kingpin extreme Trekkers on 15x8 mods,
32mm spacers,
3inch kap springs,
1.5inch springs spacers,
Pro-comp ES3000 shocks,
Braided brake lines,
ORA 4" corrected radius arms,
Fully poly bushed,
Ora adjustable panhard arms,
KAP stainless exhaust,
LR extended wheel arches,
Custom made snorkel,
Stripped interior,
Manual locking front hubs,
Rocklobster and ora skid guard,

Got some more bits to fit ora front recovery points and lock right for the rear. Still got a few other bits I would like to do fuel tank guard, radius arm bracket guard, a decent towbar but un sure what type to choose, a costum load liner with some sort of cupboard or drawer setup, some sort of front bash guard instead of the plastic one and un sure on whether to do a winch or not.

I have got a few pics that I will try and get up but only got an iPad so not sure if they will show or not.

Looks like a nice set-up & well sorted, thanks for sharing & welcome to the gang ................

Nice truck. Welcome along. Its a good site with good people.

Hello Rodden 87, welcome here and thanks for making us so jealous !!! :sick:
I like very much your Jimny and it's regrettable that "thanks" to the Belgian MOT we can not make such changes to our car's, unless you don't drive on the public streets !

About your question about a winch... me personnally i wouldn't put a winch on.
How many times did you allready needed one?
I think with your rocklobster and very good tyres you'll get very far.
I don't see me driving around whole year long with some extra 40 to 70 kg. in the front putting extra weight on your front drivetrain. You will also have some extra fuel-consumption.
Also the cost of it all (winchbumper, battery, switches... etc...) and how many times a year you will really need it?
Unless you go to "very extreme".
Naturally that is my personal opinion, i also had plans to put a winch and winchbumper, did put the pro's and contra's on a sheet, and i have changed my plans.
I did bought a D&G Tuning dropbox with all the belongings needed, this i will get somewhere in September.
I think with all other changes i did this also will get me far and still "roadlegal".
Anyway your's is already serious stuff ! Lot's of fun with it !!

Hi guys thanks for the hello's.
Juan I agree with you I don't think I will use a winch enough to get one but, when you do get stuck some times it's the only answer although most of the times I go out most of my Mates have winches! I can't seem to justify it but still think of one!

Hi Rodden87 welcome to big BIG JIMNY
I've just rotated your top photo and added the bottom two. :side:
