Jimny auto advice needed

Great stuff people, so is that the only parts I need, and can I leave all the rest on apart from the hubs because I wouldn't know where to start lol so basically be like my old vitara when I had to reverse back ???????

Yes just remove old hubs and bolt new on it's that easy
You can leave every thing as was
OR remove the old rotten steel pipe work and just blank off the rubber pipes that's left on

You dont need to reverse back to disengage the front drive. Use the transer box lever/dash buttons to put it in 2wd on and off tarmac. (important NOT to drive on grippy surfaces in 4x4!)

The manual (or freewheeling) hubs allow you to 'switch off' a wheel at a time. If your going onto slippery surfaces, switch them both on before and engage 4x4 as needed. once back to tarmac switch them off for better fuel consumption (stops the wheels turning the shafts needlessly).

The pipes and suchlike can stay, but do blank off any if you remove them. You may get problems with dash lights if theres a leak on it somewhere, so probably best to blank off fully as Jack says

Great stuff im daft when it comes to this stuff so yeah thats good news ill order a set can I just fit these and drive and not touch anything at all, and by blanking of where by and how, buy the way theres a fat reefer in the ashtray for you haaaa I need as much info as poss like any special tools could I do them myself etc:blink:

So I bought the hubs of Jimny bits also advised I don't need spacers etc, anyone got a tutorial video link on how to change them, so exited Haaaaaa

Took ya advice mate, bought them of Jimnybits on ebay for some reason I couldn't purchase directly of their site, and the chap said I don't need any spacers or extras, so they came with gaskets bolts and washers seem pretty solid, just looking for a step by step guide and plan on doing hub conversion tomorrow

I might be misunderstanding but it seems to me you should forget the auto box selector. Low on the auto is not related to any four wheel drive. The others will give you advice on checking the actual four wheel drive but with it in N (no good in D/P etc. as it locks the tranny) there are checks you can do with it on jacks (not ramps as you have to turn the wheels lol) to see if the four wheels are working as one!!
