pimpin my jimny

i have just got a new jimny two weeks ago.
i got it for its cheapness to run and still 4x4 although its smaller then what im used to
but so far i think its a great car it just looks to pensionerish so i have decided to pimp it up a bit untill i can get it lifted. so far i have got some wind deflectors and a rear bar and side bars. i will add a photo on once i fit them, hopefully this weekend.
herers what it looks like now

Nice truck there,
i remember when mine looked like that seem's such a long time ago
Enjoy your Jimny

Hey Martin that guage is a sexy peice of kit
a snip at £95 for real time monitoring

jamie

the gauge is quite cool. and i want a snorkel eventually but im sure that would void the warranty on the car. i have loads of plans for it but just not the money to do it yet

Hey there

You will be amazed what you can get away with for warrenty work.
I have just had some work done under warrenty and Suzuki GB
were quite helpfull it's the dealers who squirm

please explain more

Right a bit long winded but bear with me ,

I went to my local dealers with a oil leak from the gearbox
My jimny has a good few mods 3" lift 2" bodylift 235-75-15 tyres
various other bits and peices but their main concern was that i had
H/D transfer box mounts.

The dealers were trying to fob me off saying that the mounts had caused the problem
but they couldnt have as they were exactly the same as the standard ones which incidently
WILL break when you take it off road as they have the same consistency as cheese, sorry
i'm digressing,They would not listen to me.
Then they tried to tell me that the body lift had changed the gearbox to transferbox prop angle
which is utter rubbish as all the drive train is fastened to the chassis not the body.

So after much discussion the dealer took some photo's and sent them to suzuki who gave
the correct parameter's and tolerences and guess what they were the same as mine so all
the work was done but the dealers really try to worm their way out of it.

Don't let them fob you off is the lesson

Jamie

thanks for the advice. so would it just be performance mods that void warranties?
where did you get the mounts from and how much are they?

I'm not too sure as i am not messing with my engine at all
i was gonna get a snorkle but i try my hardest to avoid deep water
as its my daily driver and water kills bearings and seals

I think my mount's came from KAP Suzuki they were around £75 i think
which i think is a bit expensive but hey ho

I think Rob does them at the armoury give him a buzz see what he can do any better


Jamie

yeah mine is my everyday car aswell. im going to go to kap to see what i can do when i get chance they a about 20 miles from me
