Wouldnt it be easyer to mount the jimny shell on a better modded chassis

Probably but that removes the challenge i thort of putting something like a corsa body on it just for the fun of it would look a little crazy


Exactly whats life without a challenge

Patrol axles are insanely wide and heavy. Can't see how that makes sense on a lightweight vehicle like the jimny.

Would rather fit some Samurai axles with HD shafts and CVs. And then perhaps som spacers.

i think the patrols are about 140kg would guess the 80 series would possibly be same for the rear and bit lighter for the front as the front has the smaller 8" diff same as the 70 series land cruisers

The patrol y60 and y61 axles are very strong but would really want a load more power to make it worth putting them on as would be over kill.
