My Jimny Fastback was created by ZookFastback
Here are some of my Jimny Fastback pics. Had the car from new. About to make up a towbar fitting for front so that I can slip a winch on and off at will, better than carrying 30 odd kgs all the time.









Limited mods, front auto diff-lock, rear Hayman Reece tow Hitch, Transfer-case skid plate, front diff/axle guard, Fastback tonneau that is wind proof and airtight, the car inflates when fan is turned on :laugh: Sunraysia rims and 215/65 tyres for roadgrip, a set of Michelin 15/16 rally tyres for off road. Snorkel and custom 2" exhaust which produces a satisfying rumble and nice back-off sound too. Hopefully the attachment sound file works.

Bugga, can't upload mp3's for the sound bite. Oh well, not to worry. You will just have to take my Oz word for it that it sounds good :woohoo:

Hi & Welcome to the Forum,

Nice pics.
Mines a tin top but if I had the softy, I would go the bikini/fastback route, they look well.

There might be an easier way, not sure but you could upload the sound track onto YouTube then put the link on here.

What do you think to the snorkel you have fitted, in one of the shots? I have one on mine, hard brittle fibre glass.

Keith :)

My FTS Snorkel is fibreglass re-inforced plastic, nice soft feel and a brilliant growl from it. Cheap too, about $170 aud. It has 3 high density foam contacts with the body and is a good fit. Instructions were chinese but worked it all out. Took heaps of pics as I fitted it and cold gal'd the cutout to ensure no rust down the track.

Hey Admin, thanks for such quick action :ohmy:

Some more pics camping etc.

Bit of music to soothe the savage beast.

In the Jancourt Forest, about 400 k's from home, a nice quick day trip.
Koala (Drop Bear) on the "Great Ocean Road" near Lorne, about 200k's from home

Parked next to my D7 Dozer.

Camping near the Major Mitchel Creek, just out of Nagambie, about 3 hours and 300 k's from home.

Stuck on a rock in the 65,000 hectare Costerfield Park, 3 1/2 hours and 350 k's from home. Plenty of gold to be found here and always take the metal detector with me. I have a 22 hectare property near Costerfield that I sometimes visit for the weekend.

The underbody protection comes from MIC Offroad, traders on Ebay. They do skidplates for transfer cases, fuel tanks in steel or alloy, plus sliders for bottom of uni joints and various other things such as the front diff/axle guard and bumper bars in steel and alloy. Prices on Ebay.
