All is in the title, does anyone know his products or have some here.
Overall i'm talking about his 10Cm lift kit which is quite cheap regarding to all the parts it contains...and seems pretty flexy!B)

His site: www.4xfourArt.com

Has anyone seen the 4wd transmission gear or have any experience of them? At 550 euros would it work out cheaper than a rocklobster and do the same thing?

it's "only" 29% slower, which could more probably be compared to the Special Low Ratio Jimny gearset one ;)

I have for about 2 months now the radious arms af the kit. Very good quality.

The bushings are made from teflon. At the hole of the arms that fit at the chases have balljoints that give

you more articulation and last longer.

They gave me a life time guarranty. It worths its money.

The t-case gears are slow. With -29% ratio you need 31'' at least so you can drive it ok.

They also have a r&p of 5,1:1. My cous has a 4'' susp with these gears and r&p and runs 33''

The Boss Turgut told me the bushes were in polyurethane...
And they're not the same sizes than the stock ones, i find it regrettable...
If you wanna see pics of the full kit:

Looks really flexy...

Yes unfortunately the holes of the bushes are not the same as stock. They give you nice flex.

The thing that made me wondering was that the rear arms are 2cm shorter than stock.

The front arms are 2cm longer then stock.


A guy called mehmet becce is the boss. Turgut is the sales manager. With him i was talking while i wanted to make my order.

Really nice guys both. Meet them at the EAT( Evros Adventure Trophy) about a month ago , and show

all team cars in action.


Also dont forget that in the picks at fb the white-yellow jimny also has a 2cm bodylift.

I made a small test articulation for the first time after installing the arms and i must say that is better than my previous caster arms.

It is not very good quality but i hope you can understand the travel of the axles.

Soon i will upload a newest one with better resolution.

If it's the same type of upgrade as "jimny low ratio gearset" then you still have the chain which is supposedly the weakest link in the Jimny transmission.
