Daves Jimny beast!

So a week ago (maybe less than that) i purchased myself another jimny, after previously having one last year.
I had that much fun in my last one and that only had a one inch body lift and mud tyres!

so i found my current jimny for £1200 but talked the guy down to 980 quid! (bargain)
Has a few marks on it but it will be getting battered on lanes anyway so i really don't care.
but noticed this one had no rust anywhere!

it was initially running abit rough and had a blocked cat, thanks to the guy that made the "sluggish on power" thread as you saved me alot of time and money!

so i set to work on finding parts for my jimny after getting some inspiration on here! so thanks guys!

Ive always been use to lowering cars and not raising them.


my previous lupo which i fitted hydraulics with a 8 inch lift! notice the genuine bbs rms there




More to follow... just finding images

sorry for the lack of images, having issues everytime i try to upload? :huh:

so heres my old lupo..

That's not usually my cup of tea, but I like that , and hydraulics on a jimny could be fun

i do have the picture in 1080p but the forum wont allow me to upload it.
i lost 7 grand on that car

hydraulics alone were 3k!

but yeah so now ive conquered my problem with the images, onto my next section..

My current car




My previous jimny

so next we move onto my current jimny

i dont actually have a picture of when i brought it but it just had silver wheels instead of black and no roof bars..

so like i said i have only had the car a week and in the space of three days i set to work..

i wax oiled the whole underneath of the car and painted the steels black


but in the space of 24 hours the following happened:

new cat
new off road tyres
2" lift kit
Extended brake lines
Load sensor bracket
new diff oil (front and rear)
new gear box oil
roof bars
new air filter
new spark plugs
new oil filter and fresh oil after drain
stick on number plate
removed arb

and after all that im skint until next month!

things to come:
Steering damper and shock re-locators for the rear

but heres a before and after

Before:




After:

couldn't resist a quick drive out, after all i do live in derbyshire

Good work Dave! Haw does it drive naw in comparison to standard. I want a set of throes tyres, I bet they will be fantastic off road. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the reply!

Well in all honesty it drives like S*** :laugh:

but i was expecting it because of how my previous one drove

What size are those tyres?
