Guide on installing 4WD transmission in a 2WD-only Jimny
Yeah. 4x4 to 4x2. In conjunction with the new Quaife helical diff a 4x2 Jimny would still do what bit of off road I need but with a load less unnecessary weight for my preferred "precision" driving helping the handling and the acceleration.

Only one or two came in from Germany on private import i think.
Easily spotted with no roof rails and black plastic bumpers, flares and skirts.
However the price and condition of the '99-00 4x4 Jimnys in Norway would suggest that this is not any point in doing.
And the change in front axle weight could be a problem with Norwegian Vegvesen.
To get it approved you would need documentation from Suzuki Norway RSA i think.
I have significantly improved the guide in the meantime, and added some pictures too.
I have just one uncertainty - is there any difference whatsoever between the components in the front wheel hub assembly between ABS and non-ABS equipped Jimnys?
I can see that there is no ABS sensor on the wheel hub on non-ABS equipped Jimnys, but I wonder what are the differences inside the hub assembly if any?
Having a propshaft offset in 2 directions isn't a problem though. Think of tractor pto drives. That said I would use a propshaft in 2 halves with a carrier bearing to minimise some of the angles on the ends.
