New Zealand Jimny was created by NZ Zook
Hi everyone, I'm new to the site and new to off roading, thought I would take the time to introduce myself.
Names mike, from the uk, currently living in New Zealand, North Island, Hamilton if anyone els is close.

Running a 99 jimny fitted with a vitara 1.6 long block with a G4 link Ecu, hi capacity aulternator from a ford falcon with 2 batteries and rear disc conversion. It has a samurai 410 transfer box and 5.1 diffs with an ARB rear locker and maual locking hubs (Would like to add a front one at a later date) body has been lifted 2" and I am currently unsure on the amount of suspension lift. Front and rear bars with a 9500 lb Runva winch up front. Currently running 31-10.5-15 tyres on some wide white steels.
Hope to start working on some under body protection asap starting with custom diff guards and rear shock sliders followed by transfer box and fuel tank guards. Also want to remove arches and add something like the jeep ones. Need to do some resurch.

Got the Jimny out on the weekend to a place here in New Zealand called Woodhill forest. Excellent day with plenty of flexing.

Transfer box guard. Need to get round to painting it at some point. As you can see its pretty strong as i do give the poor Jimny some hard driving.
