front radius arms that will fit over the axle but still fit existing brackets on the axle to avoid the digging in you get but will still take wheels in the air abuse

wide angle hd propshafts with multi-fit end flanges for use with rocklobsters and big lifts
multi fit - two sets of holes (like on aftermarket alloys) for the transfer box end that will fit either 410 or 413

as far as anti roll bars go, take it of grind down the brackets and it will pass. i have done this on a couple of cars and taken it to strict MOT places and no isssues at all they can only fail what is there not what isn't

Bad advice I'm afraid. If it left the factory with one fitted it will fail if it doesn't have one when presented.
2012 Testers Manual Section 2.4 G

Reason for failure
"A suspension component or its attachment bracket or linkage:
missing where one is fitted as standard"

Same thing for steering locks
Airbags
Belt pretensioners

However, you are allowed to remove the entire ABS system if you like.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

Thanks for the Feedback.

Alternator mount, to add
Flex radius arms + spring dislocation , already in development. fully bolt on
Uprated tie rod, to add
Multi hole transfer flanges, my Sj cases come with then as standard
wide angle props, already do them. Custom to order.
Alloy tree sliders, do you mean like the landy type ? Just below window line !
Anti roll bar disconnects, to add

Diesel conversion. Not to add. To many engine choices, to many variables in the engines. To cover them I would need to fit about 30 different engines just to get a kit that was anywhere near universal. There is also radiators. Intercoolers, Fuel tanks, reduction starter motors ,
IMO the only engine that comes close to a suitable weight for a Jimny is the zuzu lump and not many people want to use them, preferring the pug/vw lumps.

Anything else ?

Yes purpose built bolt on fitment of a pair of portal axles with electric locking diff and low geared to fit a standard jimny using standard springs. All for under 2k or cheaper.

i don't see why you would want an unsprung wheel on the ground with dislocating springs it would still have no traction as there is no force pushing it down. making it fairly useless like a wheel in the air.

besides having the look at my awesome gap between my wheel and arch feel.

i cannot see the point of it. Unless there is something else there to push the wheel down to have traction like a second spring.

Try doing something like this without it. wheels on the ground = stability


One of many failed attempts at the same gully.
