so what do guys want ?

Only problem with these on a Jim is I don't think there's anything solid to bolt them to like there is on the Defender, same with the door rails below the windows.

No but you could have internal bracing with the same bolt patern , would also make a handy shelf in the back

bolt on 3link set up blot to diff and chas :-D

Would it be possible to make some kind of bolt on front lower shock mounting strengthener? Also with the demise of the ORA bumpers is there a market for a replacement that is not as extreme as the new replacement t hey are planning. I like the idea with their existing bumpers, both back and front, that they protect the corners of the bodywork and are a good compromise between strength and looks. A rear winch bumper could be good but quite how you make that so that you can still keep a spare wheel on the back I suppose is part of your design skills! Maybe it could also incorporate the swing away spare wheel carrier mentioned earlier in the thread.

If Redacted wants to make one, I'd happily share my design! I'd like to make them - but am so busy at the moment, I'm never going to have time at this rate.

The design is very simple, uses the original bars and will lock/unlock remotely - it could even use the FWH vacuum to disengage.

Something else that would be really useful would be some bump stop extensions, or new bump stops to accommodate say 2, 3 and 4 inch lifts. The only people that I have seen selling them is Zanfi, but beautiful though they are, they are also rather expensive.

well if you take the body off a 90 and a jimny they are basically the same set up
why not make fittings to take landrover suspension as its so cheap compared to jimny stuff currently being sold

Kirkynut

yes a resigned suspension "system" is on the cards. And it won't just be a set of caster correction arms. But it will be strictly offroad only!
If you still have my number give me a call :wink:

Thanks for all the feedback and it's all been taken on board so watch this space.
I'll have a chat with martin and check it's ok to do a thread just for pics of my new products.
I've already got the domain www.rockwatt.co.uk so that will go live in a few months.
Just in the process of moving to a much larger premasis with lots of land for a huge workshop so bare with me and you will see some new and exiting products with the usual Redacted design flare.

For the time being though keep posting your wish lists on here and I'll give all of them some attention to see if there viable.
Just looked into injection moulding wheel arches that would follow the Jimny body lines and would be made from MDPE
Set up costs would be in the ball park of 10k but I do believe that it would pay of as I can do other types just with a die change at about £200 per die.

I do intend to work with other supplyiers not against them ie Ora and jimmy bits etc and hope they will do the same as I believe there is plenty of room rather than working against each other. Each of us has our slot and I'm sure it will lead to just more products ! Not just copy's of the same thing.

the same principle i meant coil sprung, arms, it aint that far fetched

Much respect Redacted . Good luck in the new premises and products. Can't wait to see them
