The Landover case is readily available for as little as £50 they come in the defender and discovery 1 and early 2 models here in the UK.
The Landcruiser cases are from either a 70 or 80 series model are harder to find and more expensive at least here in the UK.
Both cases have the outputs dropped on the right hand side, the same as the Jimny. The Landcruiser shares a virtually identical auto transmission with the Vitara, swap a vit bellhousing onto a Landcruiser auto/t case assy and all you need is any vit engine and custom cross member(s) to support the box.
You can also buy an adaptor and spud shaft to mount the Landover lt230 to the Toyota transmission.

Very nice information from all of you!
Now back to tyres for a while, and possibly some other things. : )
Is there any other options, like other brands, what do you use?
I've talked about the tires from Jimnybits already and those that I thought about getting should work on a standard Jimny but maybe not with snowchains. (195/80/15).
If I do modify much, like putting on body kit, other supspension, big wheels, engine swaps and so on I should probably do it all at once and then I could do a new registration of the vehicle because I might fail yearly inspection if I don't.
That kind of registration would cost at least 4500 SEK (450 euro) and if that does not include the noise test It's another 1500 SEK (150 euro).
I will look into this more, they even have given out a book to people who want to modify and do it by the books.
Keith's bodykit look smooth and well made thou so I think they would look past that at inspection easy if I mount my licence plate in the "right" way.
But there is still the EU-regulations that has worked it's way in but it might go through with modifications as body kit and higher suspension if I just put on standard tyre size anyway.
Have past inspection with wide tyres and also extra wide body kit several times before so it might be fine anyway.
Now, I hope to get some advice on what clutch to get. I know some different material compositions but what should I get for my Jimny?
Mine is slipping more and more so I need to get one very soon.

I've not got one personally but I've read nothing but good things about the Exedey clutch. I think a few people on here have them.

Has anyone laid their hands on the Exedy Safari Tuff clutch?
Worth the extra money possibly? From what I read in the shop it sounds promising and might be worth it.

Hi Jack
Was it the Safari version you bought then or possibly the other clutch from Exedy in the bigjimny shop?
I was also thinking the extra pressure could be good if I decide to give the Jimny a little bit of turbo boost later.
