Cherry red Jimny from Estonia was created by Taavi85
Greetings from Estonia. Because Estonian Suzuki forum is almost dead, I decided to join with BigJimny :)
I have thought about buying a 4x4 long time and so month ago i bought this red Jimny JLX.
Pic
So far i have found plenty of rust and stuck bolts....which is'nt a big suprise for Japanese cars but still a little bit buzzkill, at least the frame seems good.
What's gonna change?
At the moment i have already bought/changed/done:
1) New tyres - Insa Turbo Sahara 215/75-15" (waiting new rims from Jimnybits, because they were out of stock :P )
2) 2" lift kit - Pro Comp 2" from Jimnybits. Front end done....rear waiting.
3) 8000lbs DragonWinch - winch plate designed and cut, waiting at the moment for powder coating Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3
4) Poly bushes - got super cheap kit from eBay, from Poland (£114 inc. shipping). Let's see if they are any good :P
5) Removed sway bar
6) Longer brake hoses - because i removed the sway bar i think i should replace the brake hoses (?)

If i have 2" lift and removed sway bar should i replace only the front ones or also the rear? Can anyone tell me the length of extended front hoses?

Installed the winch to the winchplate...only wiring to go :P
