Very nice Jimny you've got there!

RE the brake lines. YES! Replace them.

With no lift and no sway bar, you're fine, but with 2" lift, and no sway bar you risk pulling a line on full articulation - and I'd know cause I tested it out with some hi-lift jacks.

Finally got the wheels and tyres fitted. Winch is wired up and bigger 62Ah battery (Centra CP621).
Brake lines are changed.
Are the Jimny brakes originaly poor? Changed the rear shoes and front sliders (old ones were rusted), everything moves fine and no air in the system but braking is pretty poor....is this "normal" or should i inspect something else?
