New to jimny mods worth doing

As Maverick say's fit a Locker! Even when cross axle'd you always will have a rear wheel with traction on the ground.
The Lockright is the most valuable and effective and simple modification to make.

I believe the rear locker avoids you going with foot to the floor in some circumstances thus reduction of blown front CV's and halfshafts.

Also before you start modifications decide what you want from your jimny from Long distance journeys, greenlaning and playdays.

It's like Supergaz and Maverick said, a rear-diff locker is one of the most interresting mod's that you can do, together with good offroad tyres.
I also did put a Centreforce Dual Friction Clutch, that gives me much more grip then the standard clutch.
I have a ARB-locker in the rear diff, very satisfied with this choice!

In the picture you see how i changed the interior and mounted a little compressor for the ARB-locker and possibility to blow the tyres.




Also an interior roll-over bar (an exterior is not allowed by Belgian MOT).
Fitted the spare wheel at the inside, like this there is less weight on my back door and behind the rear wheels.
When not offroading i still can put the backseats in, and then i put the spare wheel back on the backdoor in about 15 minutes.

surely putting a Lockrite locker on makes it all abit mental to drive on the road especially in the wet as you effectively have a permanently locked rear diff?! which is what you want in a car for drifting!

as the jimny is quite interesting to drive in the wet weather/snow etc is this really a good option?correct me if im wrong obviously:)

i agree with fitting decent tires which is something ill do before winter/mud arrives again as traction is everything;)

unless your fitting huge wheels and tires is there really much point lifting it?! mines still standard suspension wise and i haven't had any issues green laning only been stuck once and that was more due to driver error (didnt get over far enough to miss some seriously deep rutts which were full of very gloopy mud sat it on the bottom of the front shock so wasnt going anywhere) they are surprisingly capable in stock form.

Cheers mate yer I'm just thinking about putting some tyres on now as like someone said on here a lift is pointless without bigger wheels as ur lowest point are the diffs and without bigger wheels ur not realy giving it more clearance I see a jimny with a body and suspension lift did look cool though lol

that is true, the only way to get more ground clearance is with bigger and tires. ive got standard 15" wheels with 195 80 15 tires which are taller than the stock rubber thus giving abit more clearance.

straddle the rutts made by landys and all's good (generally speaking)!!!
