Very nice

so after three races:
1st race - all belts broken after muddy soup - 3rd place
2nd race - crankshaft pulley give up after 2km. ended up upgrading to 1.6 from sx4
3rd race - after 1st evening only 1st and 2nd gears are usable - 3,4,5 heats up gearbox and makes clutch slip. 2nd day - lost right rear shock and left rear window also bent a front axle a bit, 3rd day 1st stage - lost left rear and front shock, left front brake line. finished 2nd stage without any shock and without winch. 4th place.

time to do a more proper build. longer shocks, axle movement limit straps.

Wow, that's an impressive Jimny you've built!

Has your front axle bent despite it being trussed?

How many winches does it have on it?

Kirkynut

seems that knuckle is bent. will see in weekend.

one winch - Runva EWX9500-Q - in the back with rope to front and possibility to winch backwards when rear doors are open.

for rear axle i used on different Jimnys:

-from Nissan Terrano2 KYB 553230, 365/600mm
-from Mitsubishi L200 KYB 553222, 380/625mm
-from Nissan Terrano KYB 443183, 350/580mm
-form Lada Niva KYB 343098, 310/505mm

Kayaba 553 serie is monotube design and is great.

Nice winch.
Have you ever considered putting a bowmotor 2 on it?
