My Jimny(s) was created by Placek
Hello, as this is my first post here I's like to say hello to everone. In advance I'd like to apologize for my English - it's a foreign language for me, but I'll do my best not to hurt you eyes with :) I am Polish, live in Radom, 29 y.o., married, 1 kid so far, my hobby is off roading, I am ophthalmologist and optician.

So, here are my two Jimnys:
- black one is 2008 1.3 VVT with automatic transmission, almost stock and I sold it a week ago, so i'll just skipt it
- green one is the one I use for off roading, 2000 SOHC, in Poland it's street legal :laugh: but I use a trailer for further rallys anyway
Modifications:
- 4 inch lift (2" ironman + 2" pads) with modified panhard rods
- front axle is from SJ413 (wide) moved 10cm to front with 5.125 gears from 1.6 8V Vitara's front axle with pneumatic locker
- front driveshafts and cv joints are TrailGear with 33 splines
- rear axle is from Vitara 1.6 16V, 5.125 ratio with welded differential
- SJ410 transfer case with custom brackets and custom rear and gearbox-tcase shafts
- front winch bumper is modified ORA's old model
- front winch: Escape XTR 13500 lbs Speed with 35m synthetic 10mm rope
- rear winch: Escape XTR 12000 lbs with 25m synthetic 10mm rope
- batteries: front Optima Yellow 75Ah 975A, rear Bosch Silver 100Ah 830A
- 31"x10,5"R15 Simex tyres (actually a copy of it)

At this moment my engine is almost dead, in november I am swapping it with BMW 1.8is 140PS 175Nm (it's already waiting in my garage) and installing 33"x10,5"R15 Silverstone MT-117 Extreme Trekker tyres. What I plan for next year is to replace old suspension with longer radius arms and Profender coilovers.
