I'm very tempted myself with the transfer guard and also considering the Fuel Filter Guard. Can you tell me where you got the radius arm mount guards? The rest of the kit looks like it came from Jimnybits but no sign of Radius Arm Guards on their web site.

The Radius Arm guards came from Jimny Bits. The reason they are not on general sale yet is that the fitting instructions are not finished yet and they had to order custom boxes to pack them in. I managed to get a set because I went to visit their facility and said I would take them without the instructions and the box didn’t matter because it wasn’t going through the post.

There will not be many sets available initially so they will sell out quickly but I think Rus is ordering bigger batches in future to keep stock on the shelves. Basically no one anticipated the demand for the car or the demand to modify it from new.

My 2nd pair. Hopefully these are correct LHD as last year I ordered LHD but just noticed last week they were RHD so too long for an exchange.
Which means I have a spare pair of RHDs.
I'll speak to Martin about donating them to the 2020 Big Jimny Meet as a raffle prize. I'm thinking £5 a ticket with all money raised going to Save the Rhinos.

Looking for a nice clean and straight LHD Jimny..... Not any more.
Got one that seems to have been magnatized and driven through the "Big Jimny Bits" parts stores too quickly so it missed a few items.

The postal service is still working, 11 days from Holland, not bad.
Koni Heavy Track rear shocks, hopefully to make things a little better when I tow. Adjustable apparently which is a bonus, but adjust before fit which is odd. I'll set them in the middle and see how it goes.

Yokohama Geolanders, Sony head unit, NAUTILUS Air Horn, DRL conversion, Rear cargo space, Elvis Bobblehead, transfer Guard, Indian hanging Elephant, Koni Heavy track dampers, Custom SS exhaust, Voodoo Doll, Adventure Rack with LED ight bar, vintage ERIBA caravan usually attached (yes it's slow)

My Jimnybits transfer box guard arrived- exactly 24 hours after I ordered it! DPD have their eyes on the ball

Looks good, but I can't fit it until I get the first service done, and I don't know when that will be at the moment, I hope Suzuki cut us some slack in the current situation.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

I got some adapter ring spacers for SJ manual freewheeling hubs through a few days ago from Jimny Bits.

Now I'm using the Jimny daily and I had them alread I thought I ought to use the freewheeling hubs now and ordered the adapter spacers up.

I have a leaky swivel, so when I change the kingpin bearings I'll fit the hubs.
