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.


One benefit being that you will achieve better articulation with a minimal lift. I'd want it on a 2" lift to keep the COG low.
While the wheel on the uncompressed side will have less weight on it there is still a force applied, where one wheel is being forced up it will provide a downward force on the opposing side, just enough to get you through.

I'd have 2" lift springs and +3"(hypothetically) dampers with dislocation.

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!

Set the kingpin bearings to the correct preload and when fitting bigger tires correct the scrub radius with the right size wheel spacers or wheel offset.

Switch panel ! Where do you want it to fit ? Size ? How many switches ?

Turbo would be more use ! And more controllable !
There not my thing but I know a man who can. And if there was enough interest then a kit could be developed.
But as the old saying goes there is no substitute for cubic inches.
So stick a 1.6 or 2.0 ltr in there and save some money into the bargain.

Vitara 1.6 16v with it's gearbox and dual transfer case would be spot on for the jimny IMO

A swingaway rear tyre carrier to take the weight off the rear door?

Like the idea above. Maybe you can also load a bike or two for expeditions without shearing the back door.

My suggestion is a bar for mounting roof lights...

this might help you, www.bulletcars.com/superchargers/suzuki/ a company here in Australia, Queensland, already have a bolt on super charger kit. but does require a piggieback ECU to work. as id say any turbo or supercharger kit will need. unless you can get a hold of a already turbo jimny ECU from japan

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationHi mate what about these but made of alloy to keep weight down. I think they would look good and protect body work if you havn't got a cage.
