sj solid hubs was created by Bish
Has anyone fitted sj solid hubs to a jimny?
I'm doing away with the auto hubs and don't have much need for manual hubs.

If there's SJ locking hubs fitted on Jimny's with a spacer ring, surely those solid ones will fit too the same way. :)

Thats what I'm assuming but you know what they say about assumption!!
Would I even need the spacers? I'm not sure tbh.

Why not take the auto hubs off, engage them by hand and stick a blob of weld in there so they don't move.

Free locked hubs and no need for spacers?

only problem with that is when I need to change a diff or shafts etc.
I'd rather have free wheeling hubs than weld.

no, you misunderstood.

The vacuum hubs have 2 rings that slide in and out of each other to engage/disengage.
Just put them in the engaged position (which you can do with your hand) and then weld the rings to each other within the vacuum hubs. Then just bolt it back on. No need to touch shafts or diffs...

It would achieve the same thing as SJ solid hubs but you won't need to source hubs or spacers.

Sorry mate I'm with you now, thanks.
Seems the easier and cheaper way to get what I'm after.
Will do it at the weekend and post some pics up.
Cheers Bish

yup they are the type I'm on about.
Just for reference do you need the spacer with them?

You do have to cut down the tube part off the wheel bearing nut though. These are often supplied by KAP.
