From road to ruin, my jimny project.

id go snorkel as theres some nice fords in essex and norfolk

have you only got 2 caster correction bushes only see two in photo and you need two per arm

Yeh I think snorkel first, I've got my diff breathers on now aswell I don't plan on going mad in water as I need to drive it to work every morning haha, but it will give me a bit of piece of mind.

The castor correction bushes are the budget 'Jimnybits' 3" correction. It's a cheap way out of course, but il keep my original bushes and save up for some correction arms ASAP.

yes but have you got two sets as im sure you need twwo eaak arm ie: 4 bushes

I think you only need the one as it has such a big offset compared to the sets with 4 bushes. It's sits in the front eye.

'Not recommended for extreme off road use' however, they are extremely rigid, I would assume it will put huge stress on the radius arm dude to the lack of flex. Il see how it goes, hopefully it won't be long before I worded some new arms.

i see my mistake mine had two each arm just looked at the offset on thos shame there not for offroading ive got correction for 2" and its not that good for 3" inch lift arms are in the pipe line but there so expencive im tempted on making some as its well within my ability just dont have the time and then the bushes are still going to be £90 plus meterials for the arms

Yeh they are a bit hard on the pocket :/
I'm going to try and save the original bushes when I press them to save buying new ones when I get the arms. Il see how these do, I would have thought they will be fine for a bit of laning, but when you start flexing it omits extent they might cause problems.
I would be interested to see how they come out if you do decide to make your own, keep me updated!

I've a question to ask about the lift. Those of you running a three inch lift, do you run prop spacers, if so how big? Cheers guys

ive got a inch one in mine, but ran with out for a wile

Got my lift kit fitted today, it's a fairly straight forward task if anyone is thinking of doing it themselves that hasn't done one before, only thing that gave me problems were the brake lines as the pipe started twisting but I got round it.

I underestimated how much of a difference the lift would make, however I assume it will settle after some use. I had to remove the front guard as it hit the anti roll bar, I'm going to cut it about to stop it scrubbing, but in the future might just take the bar off, I'm still undecided.

Should I fit a panhard rod extension on the rear? Is a prop spacer needed?









She's coming along nicely now, just need to do a bit of welding, cc bushes, then tax and it's ready to go for now.

My wheels look to small for the car though, so the next buy will be a set of modulars for my mud tyres

Scored these for £30. £25 on paint and they're just what I needed 7j unsure of offset, il fit them and see what's what haha.
