2nd jimny build was created by Muddyzook94
Got my new Jimny after let's jus say my last Jimny wasn't sitting on all 4 wheels :whistle:. Never built my last one, bought it with most of the stuff done to it but I jus replace some parts of it, but to be fair the while time I had it, it was jus problems. Had it for 7 months n 5 of them were getting fixed :angry: so didn't have the best of luck with it. So now I jus bought a completely standard Jimny "special" ( dunno what's so special about it but heyho)






So got round to taking out all the seats and putting in my bucket seat and harnesses and jus put a bit of plywood in the back




Then put on the off road wheels, wheel spacers and sj manual hubs




Oh and can't forget the wee spade on the back door B) haha




That's all I've done so far so fair bit to go on yet haha, will probably be on here asking how to do some stuff, know roughly how to do most of the stuff.

Can't wait to get this into a proper off roader B)

Yeh got a 3" suspension and a 2" body lift on the other jimny. Can't get 2 of the spacers out cause they are stuck to the body and there no keen on shifting :(

What size tyres if you can don't body lift raises centre of gravity for no gain other than clearance and looks

That's the old Jimny now gone to the scrappies


Got £11 for it haha, I'm rich now.

So now that the garage is free I got round to taking off the tow bar cause I won't be using it, will to high anyway after the lift




Then whilst I had the rear bumper of I started to cut the rear arches so the wheels don't catch. Jus done it with a grinder, looks alright haha.




When I had the rear bumper off I noticed the spring that's on top of the diff for the rear brakes was not there so took the one off the old jeep before I scraped it, then when I was tryna get the exhaust off I found a hole in it so I jus chucked that n put on another back box. Then got round to taking the front bumper off as I have a winch bumper going on and that it was catching when I turned. Then the anti roll bar came off aswell.
