2004 Jimny Mode: General Grabber AT3s (215/75/R15); Trailmaster 2" Lift; Jimnybits Snorkel; Jimnybits Front and Rear Recovery Points; Suntop Roof Rack; AVM Manual Hubs; Stainless Steel Exhaust System (SOLD)
What are your top 3 mods and why? was created by furo
In the spirit of the Ronny Dahl YouTube videos I thought this would be a fun question to ask on here. What are your top 3 favourite mods that you have done to your Jimny, and why?
Also, bonus question, what modification (if any) do you most regret?
1) AVM Manual Hubs - 2WD sucks
2) 215/75 AT3s - ground clearance
3) 2" Lift (Trailmaster) - clearance and comfort
In terms of regret for me, it's probably my stainless exhaust. It made sense at the time, as my old one had rusted through, and it sounds very cool, but it's just a bit too loud on longer journeys. Great quality and good fun though.

1, 2" lift and 215/75/15 tires because it looks right.
2. Transfer box guard for piece of mind when belly down.
3, HD Transfer box mounts as the original ones are weak.
Regrets would be fitting Pro-comp dampers. Work well off road but to hard on road.

Temeraire (2018 quasar grey automatic)
One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.
ADOS Attention Deficit Ooooh Shiny!

Best mod has to be the bfg urban terrain tyres, exceptional dry grip and not particularly bothered about snow and mud.
Next but equal are the avm hubs, reliable and simple with the benefit of 2x4 lo.
Then rear seat removal, so practical for working and quite astounding what will fit in the back.

1. Suspension and tyres
2. Rocklobster box & ARB lockers

(if there was a 4 it would be back seats out like Lambert, so much more space!)
Regrets, well ruining my fuel consumption for one!

1. Rear brake conversion
2. 2013 Facelift
3. Upgraded stereo
Regrets - Facelift, as it's not all the same colour, I still need some pieces to complete it, and it was bloody expensive
At least it give me an excuse for a lick of paint in the future...

2012 Jimny Black. Totally standard (except for rear seat removal mod).
Replied by fozzie on topic What are your top 3 mods and why?
1. Tyres.
2.. Rear seat removal.
3. Removal of the Dealer sticker from the rear window!
Regret: Buying a steering damper. The steering wheel won't centralise on it's own.

Norway 2005 Jimny M16A VVT, 235 BFG MT, 2" Trailmaster, ARB rear lck, 17%/87% high/low gears.
Replied by yakuza on topic What are your top 3 mods and why?
1. M16a engine swap for the low end torque
2. Disabling the annoying beeper in the dashboard.
3. BF MT 235-75-15 replacing lousy slippy nexen mud tires
Runner up: New stereo and speakers, caster correction bushings for the 2" lift and most likely my upcoming low transfer gears.
Regret: Buying M16 engine with too high compression rate giving me a headache for the ignition pinging and lack of high end power.
