I'm going a different way.... Lexus IS200 gearbox and the the 1.2 tbox and 32" tyres

Gear ratio on the jimny is 1:1 in fifth and same in 5th on the Lexus too but 6th is 0.869 so with 32" tyres and the 6th gear......it'll be grand.

Keithy - can you supply the propshaft / adaptor if I decide to go this route? Don't think I'll be doing the Lexus gearbox (but a 6 speed Jimny does sound appealing!)

I doubt it'd fit....it'll be for the rear flange from the Lexus......I'll see if it can have 2 pcd's.......It needs a housing too to make it a divorced transfer.

As with most of the things I make they get too expensive to make and sell at a price for the masses.....let's see how it goes.

As an example....a cam cover would be £350 to make. Cam cover near bottom of page.

I've been thinking about this conversion recently too so I'd be really interested to see how people approach it. There's a couple of Lada Niva remote transfer cases on eBay but they are sort of the wrong way round for a jimny as they cater for diffs that are offset towards the near side rather than the offside

Keithy, I see your point. This may be a bit of a pipe dream due to expense as I have zero capability of making stuff myself. When you have completed yours, can you update? Cheers

Keithy - had a look at your pics - very nice, and can see where the cost comes in. Didn't know a lexus gearbox was that cheap - I'm back to being interested!!
