Just thought you might find them interesting or like to see something different... We don't just do Jimny stuff, but all of the same design and manufacturing processes are applied to the parts you buy from us. :)

2.5 GV V6... (suspension not gassed up in the picture but does look cool)




All fabrication was done in house.

that first one is so very, very cool B) (2nd one pretty awesome too).

I would love something like that (although I would never have anywhere to drive it). Any pictures with the suspension gassed up?

Both of them are B)
I like the 90 based one, the winch location is a great idea to maintain the approach angle. Is it still road legal?

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!

Spidertrax axles are appealing. Do they come in a size suitable for a Jimjam Rob and if so, can they take Jimjam diffs?

What sort of money would you require for making them fit a Jimjam, everything sorted from spring seats, shock and steering bracketry and radius ARM mounting, all fitted? Just a ball park figure, not a quote!

errrm, well they are't the cheapest axle in the world... :S They use Ford 9" diffs, and are blooooody huge, not really Jimny friendly... and you'll not see much change out of 20K by the time you have bought biffs, shafts, hubs, lockers and brakes etc... :pinch:

TG Rock Assault axles would be much more suitable.

Toyota 8" diffs, off-set axle tubes for more ground clearance, TONS of upgrades and trick parts off the shelf for them... chromoly shafts, lockers, 6-shooter knuckles and so on... ;)

Still sounds expensive! I'm off down to the news agents to but a lottery ticket - I'll be at your door with my Jimjam next Monday morning whe you get their if I win. I wouldn't hold your breath or re-schedule your diary though!!!

Otherwise I'll be awaiting the HD Cv's
