Gaz's reasonably priced jimny..

Cheers everyone,once the weather is a bit better i intend to flattern and polish the paint should make it look a bit better,managed to get the front extended hoses on today no probs the rear is siezed so i will cut it and re-flair it tomorrow when im at work,goodness knows on the diff clearance ?? That was on a level ground just stuck the tape measure in came in a smidge under 9",im running sahara mud tyres ad they have about 15mm of tread so must be that.been using the jimny today and know i need to do some trimming as they catch a bit.happy with lift and tyres so far,wheels need a balance and hopefully get my breathers on next.

according to a tyre size tool, total size of yours is 693mm and my tyres (215/75r15) are 703mm, but i have exactly 8 inches off diff clearance!!
maybe its the chunky tread?

not sure what your tyres are but INSA TURBO tyres are oversized a inch taller than Kumho KL71 for example
thats maybe how he has more clearance

That would probably explain it haha, i've got BFG all - terrains

Few jobs today,got the oil and filter done,all the wheels balanced,rear extended hose on,front anti-roll bar removed,got a spare used mud tyre off a friend so put that on a spare jimny wheel will do to put in the back for when im out,checked all the transmission fluid levels all ok barr the front diff oil that looks like melted chocolate,that will get changed in the next day or so others will get done at some point when im a bit more flush,as im skint at the mo and have a couple of birthdays and a leaving doo for a mate to go to.didnt get a start on my extended breathers the ones on the transfere and gearbox look a right pain couple of pics thanks for looking.

Looking good mate you happy with the wheels and tyres? And how they sit?

Yea their great,just need to do a bit of trimming to the arches then want to try them out in the mud.
