Welcome.

I hope, You understand me correctly. I have mounted auto t-box (button version - after 2005 year) from Jimny with automatic gearbox to my Jimny with manual gearbox. The different is about 33% lower ratio.
In terrain it's perfect very slowly and powerfull. On normal ride "on black" good acceleration but max speed... for compare real speed is about 80km/h with 3100 rpm

Thanks that answered my question nicely. Could be a cheap way of correcting gearing for larger tyres. Who needs top speed!

Scratch that. It won't work on my non vvt as the high ratio is the same. Would help in low though.

Sorry, but I don't know the gear ratio in non vvt gearbox so i can't help, but if you have some informations, write pleas and I'll try to tell if will be differences

Please post a picture so i can have the idea of where and how much you have trimmed arches fenders

Thanks a lot

OK, but until evening, when i'll be back in home
Regards

appreciate dude, will be doing mine this week

That is first step in triming, only to fit big tire size 31"

In #1 i suggest to cut very precise and gently sharp metal piece, that's hidden under plastic wheel arch, and paint it. As You see there is quite big hole, there collects lot of mud. In next step i'll make small mudguards to cover that hole in front and rear wheel arches.

Rear wheel


Here i suggest to first remove wheel, next cut plastic on the yellow line, and cut metal support on the orange line. First attached picture shows you how deep cut is in rear wheel arches.
I hope that useful for you.

thanks a lot!

mine are a little smaller tyres (235s) and rub more on the inside so far... did some tests and will put a 2" body lift tomorrow and see how it goes...

I think that Jimmny have lot of space inside for wheel, you have original rims? Maybe you have rims with positive offset (+ET)? I think, after 2" lift 235s tires will have enough space without trimming

Wow. That's a real nice Jimny. I fitted 30x9.5 BFG MT last week and had to do some serious fender trimming, as I just have a 2" trailmaster lift....
If I ever make it to Poland I'd like to go for a ride

Thanks!
I hope that if someone and his Jimny ever plan to visit or cross the Poland, will plan to meet with me and take a ride together. So feel free to be my guest

So we spend my 30th birthday on sandy off roads trying to fell a tree using a front bumper.. plastic bumper
