Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ok guys here's the story

1999 jimny with 150,000kms 215/75 tyres 2"inch suspension lift.

When in 2wd. The transfer case makes a whining noise that increases with speed, however in 4wd no noise is there.
Took it to a transmission mechanic and he took it for a drive and said that he would have to ...

had the same problem with my jimny once i lifted it and put on bigger tyres. I have the tough dog return to center steering dampner on mine currently, was $250 and pretty easy to install.

cuts out most of the wobble/shimmy in the front, well worth it

wasnt that simple at all. turns out what had happened is the screw that connects the rod that changes the gears unscrewed its self so the plastic bushes just fell out of place because of that.

to fix it i had to open up the compartment where this was, which required me to remove the prop shaft ...

So what happened was i was driving in 5th gear, and when i went to shift down into 4th nothing happened and the gear stick is real loose and just moves around, mean while the car is stuck in 5th gear ( which was a pain to drive home as i had to ride the clutch to keep the car moving as i slowed for ...

cheers

Hey guys,
looking at getting a SWB pajero 99 or similar, wondering if any owners could give me any tips on them like how easy mods are servicing etc

cheers

I have 50mm spacers on my jimny, found them on ebay for about 70 a corner.

Really easy to fit if you can get your hands on a pair of coil spring clamps

Something similar to that ...

think i will just bite the bullet and get some manual locking hubs

thanks for the imput guys

Ok so i fixed the problem with them not locking in properly; followed the lines back to the engine and found a break which i fixed, one thing that i noticed wen i took her for a drive is that if the hubs are locked in 4wd then when the steering is fully locked to either side there seem to be ...

I had to lift my jimny 2 inch to stop the rub from my 215/75r15 on a 7 inch rim. now i have no problems at all

got a 99 jimny running 225/75r15 with a 3inch lift i get ~370km out of my 40lt tank, normal driving.

hey there,
on my jimny 99 it has the auto locking front hubs. Ive been having some problems with them not engaging properly of late. got it all looked at and there seems to be no reasons why they shouldnt work perfectly.

Is it easier to just have manual front hubs? if so what are the best?

I have ...

i used a pipe wrench to give it a little twist so that it would line up... seems to have worked fine.... time will tell

Hey guys i managed to bend my panhard rod on my 99 jimny. Got a new one to fit, but it seems that when the rod bent that it has moved the mounting point. the one on the body still looks straight however the one on the axle looks like it has moved a little. Is the a way i can fix this so that the rod ...

Another thing worth doing if you plan to go 50mm+ is a tail shaft spacer and extended brake lines. Im looking into it for mine and found http://www.snakeracing.com.au have good gear

yeah thats what i thought

hey currently just got 50mm spacers in atm, however got a 40mm old man emu kit to go in.

can i still put the spacers in?? or will it lengthen the shocks too much, and also brake lines etc...

has any one else lifted a jimny higher than 50mm? how high can i go without having too mess around with ...

yeah i thought of that but figured it takes a fair bit of the weight so i didnt, might give it a try
thanx

heya,
my back door on the jimny wobbles and shakes like crazy over bumps, esspecially with the added weight of the bigger tyres. i have attempted to adjust the hinges, but think i just made it worse.

what can i do to stop the door moving so much wen it is closed??????
i fear its gonna just rip ...
