E-eng did or maybe still do make a brake for the sj transfer box as I have one on a lobster box in my Jimny. It's very good and works very well, It's only downside is, if you jack one rear wheel up with an open diff it will roll away, So I have to remember to lock the rear diff or put in 4 wheel drive when lifting a rear wheel if im not on level ground.

It's been fettled just a tad.

So was it just for the Sj? Did E-eng not produce a brake for the 3rd generation jimny? If not, any idea if the SJ box can be fitted in place of the electric shift boxes on the 2005 or later Jimny? I ask these questions as I would really like an Xbrake on a newer jimny.

I believe an sj transfer box can be fitted with the required mods (props, mounts ect), So you then just need to source the x-brake.

Thanks for confirming this. Do you know if there are any write ups from people who have done this, as been looking on here and can't find much?

Good Luck driving a Jimny to Poland, by the time you get there (allow twice as long as you would in your current Car) you will feel like you have been on a trip with Phileas Fogg
