Look at it as a civic duty you have to perform for the wider Jimny community!
Lots of full throttle, full lock, weight on the nose stuff like you've been avoiding for years! Then a bit of up a bank with front wheels spinning wildly and engine screaming slamming down on the front wheels so they suddenly grip.
Sounds like a boring civic duty to me though. Maybe you ought to lend me your truck so I can perform it for you.

I got them already built up from Gazwell (see garys trayback in modded section), hes a bit of an expert fabricator and has welded on turret supports etc for jimny spring mountings, also fitted front sj steering arms and homemade damper, quite a complicated affair if im honest which is why i'm keeping my old jim axles incase anything goes wrong.

Hi Mike
Perhaps I should try him then, for some info. Still.. These HD shafts are rather expensive, so 70-series LC axles are also something worth considering, though a bit on the heavy side.
