Jimny buggy

This is our jimny trials buggy, it has evolved from a 2002 jimny that we cut up in 2005.

845kg total weight
Ford 1.8td engine
sj410 transfer
One link suspension front and rear







The next mods are to loose a bit more weight off the front end, convert it to hydrosteer.

And possibly swap the front axle to a samurai one to allow me to run stronger shafts

Sorry wheres the jimny?? :laugh:

looks like a job well done.

If you dont mind me asking how does 1 link Suspension work is that like the Unimog torque tube set up ?

Pretty much the same principle as unimog torque tubes,

I've used ballistic fabrications 3.0 joints at the chassis ends of the one links, the front retains the jimny panard rod mountings just with an en24t rose jointed panard rod

The rear employs a different method of lateral location, a sliding A frame.

Here's some more detailed pics of the rear setup.
