Put a snorkel on the Jimny all by myself today

Mind you I had to lwork out what an arbour was and how to fit it, where a vacuum cannister was, pysch myself up for 20 minutes before I was happy I hadn't screwed up the template... then start drilling

Only thing that saved my arse was a set of instructions on how to do it over at www.jimny.se

Looky

Podge is so proud of me

Don't you love the satisfaction you get when you do something yourself for the first time and you do it well. Well done Squik!

Well done Serika, looks good.

I usually place several small magnets on the body work around the hole I'm drilling to catch all the metal filings and stop them going where they can't be removed from and rusting.
Wear rubber gloves when using silicone to avoid the mess and wipe off excess on car with a rag soaked in Mineral Turps.. No mess.
(I reseal a lot of fishtanks.)

Yes off topic, the pic above are you using free wheeling hubs. How are connecting the fronts.

Gday Squick.
With the snorkel , does it produce much more noise on the driver side with da window down?
Just wondering because I've heard of other Jimny owners complain about the noise.
Also what lift have ya got in yours?
Cheers
Brad.

There's just a very soft hum when it's idling, but I have a recently put a 2"mandrel bent system with extractors and a hi-flow cat on it... can't hear myself think... I actually need to quieten it down a bit... it sounds like a WRX

I've got 2+2 bodylift and suspension lift, running 235/75/R15s...

Straight back at ya pal

...and to you

Jimny owners aren't soft... we are just Suzuki Elitists

Finally got the bar and lights... doesn't look so 'soft' now

Posted: **Sat Aug 30, 2008 12:45 pm**

That does look hot squik, is the bar air bag compatable? The ex missus is planning on fitting one soon to her 2008 model and I've heard they don't make them yet but she's got a catalogue with them listed in it.

I am so jealous squick.
Your Jim looks fantastic.
Wish I had the money do the mods to mine.
Cheers
Brad.

So Squik what have you done in running gear this time? Reduction gears in the transfer case? If no is it guttless in low range?

It looks too clean it's time to get dirty!!!

Cheers Colin

Trust me... Stumpy loves the mud as much as Stimpy did

The 235s do bog him down a little, still tossing around options but he won't be as big as Stimpy or run a Rockhopper. Maybe go up to an 80mm lift, 30s and a Trial Jimny set... we'll see.

So there are Jimny transfer gears on the market or coming soon? Are these to suit G13BB and M13A setups? Are they the same transfer?

Posted: **Mon Sep 01, 2008 6:33 pm**

There are gears available for standard Jimny transfer .
http://www.geocities.com/trialjimny/
24 % reduction sounds like too much for a 235/75R15 tyre on road and is bugger all for low range .Better off getting a Sierra case i reckon ,also having no chain that can stretch is a good thing.

Also i think www.Apio.jp also have gears available as well.

I have no idea of the costs of these gears.Or anyone that runs them.

Posted: **Mon Sep 01, 2008 6:41 pm**

They're expensive but can be combined to give abut a 25% high range drop and about 5:1 low range.

Mugginsmoo on here did this before he saw the light and started the worlds longest and most complicated sierra build.

They work but I'd have to say swapping a gear drive case is still better.

Just my 2C.

hey, how heavy is that bull bar? Can you feel it when you drive?

Posted: **Wed Sep 03, 2008 6:51 pm**

Well, I can't lift it

It has dropped the nose very slightly, but I need to upgrade my suspension anyway, it's sagged a bit.
Get a bar on before you lift it, that way your suspension can be bought to suit... instead of doing it arse-up like I always do
