Thank for an awesome forum.

Early days of my jimny, stock standard,

Some pics from a trip

Some bar work

DIY cumtom made bumper,

I lasercutted and bended the bumper and welded, using 3mm heat treated steel.

Mounting brackets is 5mm , directly mounted to chassis with 4 x m12 8.8 bolts on each side.

Disign is my own work.

I first added the roofrack to the rofbars and them later to the roof directly with the bars removed.
So in the pics there might be some confusion because of this issue,

Some mountain route......

Some photography attempt,

I did a photoshoot of my jimny close to home

Some jimny pics still standard suspention


Please comment guys

Ordered some coils and shocks and bfake lines and CC bushes,

And added a 3 inch, but the stearing was horrible, so i went back to stock, and purchased some 48mm spacers. With 2" shocks, so i will see, perhaps i want to put 3" coils from the back in the front or something, as my current stock coils have sagged quite a bit.
The measurement of the front coils as it is in service and installed in the car wirhout any lift or spacer, just as the car is standing there , is about 220 mm,

Some spacers,




3" lift from before




The 3" appear odd on that tire size,

So will see if i cant level it out by putting the 3 inch back, in the front, and my standard coils from the front at the back, and perhaps add a spacer somewhere to tevel out and correct lean,

Will see when i have some time,

Looking good, some nice scenery there too.

Good work on that front bumper. I also like the fuel and temp gauges where yours are.

Of course the steering is horrible if you fit a 3" lift kit and don't fix the castor angle. You'll need C/C arms with anything taller than a 2/2,5" lift.

Hey guys,

Removed the 3"coils,

Will fit in again when i have the finance to get C/C arms,

Fitted coil spacers for the std coils, and extended shocks.

Have a look

Meanwhile some repairing to the gearbox was done,
