I already do them !! what do you call cheap.


Dont want to sound dumb but what is a sierra tranfer case ????


The Suzuki sammy/Sj is called a sierra in aus !


Ok thought that may be the case tbh i thought your cradles are a good price but then to ship it to the other side of the world may get a bit exspensive
:(

Not to aus as my sister travels back and forwards about 5 times a year so if there is no rush it would only be land ship cost.

Been having a ponder about this - here's my suggestions, based on the fact i have very limited welding skills (and no welder), limited time to fabricate and prefer the bolt on solution as it means i can swap to another jimny when i trade up:

Rear light guards as mentioned before - just like the SJ's used to have

Bolt on second battery cage/ mount that utilises the screen washer mounts and also incorporates new mounts of the washer bottle. Basically un bolt the bottle, mount in the new frame, mount bottle back on and battery fits straight in.

Diff plugs similar to those from X-Eng which you can undo with a spanner - i dont have a welder so cant weld a nut to mine, but would happily buy a pair of plugs that would fit

Mini expedition roof rack/ cage that bolts to original bar mounts e.g. you unbolt standard fit bars, and bolt straight on, so you can stand on it. Zanfi do a nice one, along the same lines, buts its expensive ;-( would be ideal to mount a nice roof tent to as well

Thats about it at the moment

... and kind of ugly. And also needs a CB antenna mount and lights mount front and back. ++++++1 for this idea too.

Roof rack/ cage wouldnt have to be too big -


The one on my mates old jimny was perfect, he'd stand on it all day long, just a shame, with the roof bars and cross bars, it made the truck 6 inches taller. Even a set of solid steel roof bars the same profile as the original ones with a reinforced weld mesh base would be fine - the profile could remain the same and then you could bolt whatever you wanted to them.

Rear work lights have always got me pondering about mounting positions, but im planning on mounting mine to a hi lift jack mount from Russ at jimnybits, bolted to the back door - ive had it sat in my bedroom for 6 months now and still havent finished it off. Hopefully these next few weeks, i'll have an afternoon to fit it
