LOL
I had to read that a few times before realising what you were saying then... I thought it was a Star Wars reference!

What a spot of luck finding them. Looks like you're in good hands with their racing pedigree. I definitely consider them doing the swap.

Today i tryed to get to the bottom of some of the problems with my jimny, suspected vacuum leak in brake booster, bought second hand one from 2007jimny, same part number
While i was digging around that area remembered Reason2douht's post, corroded electrical terminals, bingo not as bad but needed attention (thanks R2d)
All together brakes are better but similar symptoms, Busta did say it is jimny trait,

The new battery is the same height as the original to the top of the terminals
.
The Battery sits on the plastic tray with about 4mm of total space at the end and the side.
Sorry for the half-shade photo, the battery is now fitted, all good!

Not really something I did on the Jimny, but for the Jimny.
A while back I bought a 90⁰ USBC lead to use with the Android Auto. I have a magnetic mount on the front of the coin tray to hold my phone whilst connected. A straight lead stuck out too much. Unfortunately the 90⁰ lead only works as a charging cable an not a Data cable.
I had a short lead that was the perfect length, so I cut away all the plastic, bent the lead to 90⁰ as tight as possible and moulded some epoxy filler round it. Once set I filed and shaped it to suit.
