Outer Limits 4x4 Board

put a post up a while back about puttin coil bundera diffs under my jimny.. didint get top much feedback on it than so was wondering if anyone had done/attempted it and what was involved.

cheers ben

I would say it would be easy enough if you cut the mounts off your Jimny diffs and weld to the new diffs. Using the Jimny radius arms, panhard modified, coils. shocks etc. To use the Bundera arms etc now thats the hard part.

If you are going to the effort of fitting new diffs you should fit some decent suspension at the same time. Nothing on a jimny, or coily sierra is worth keeping.

IMO, ditch the radius arms and go for a 4 link triangulated rear and 3 or 4 link front with panhard. You can use 4 runner or GQ rear trailing arms for the conversion.

fair enough i was sorta leaning towards keping the jimny suspension aswell maybe a 4 inch kit or something of the like how are the aftermarket jimny suspension??? whats ur thoughts cheers

waste of time. If you are going to do it, do it properly with a new suspension system.

The jimny stuff is weak and won't last with the bigger diffs. Range Rover diffs and suspension arms/a-arm setup has been done pretty well before as well. this might be another option...

Everything is a compromise

got auoted 8500.00 with suspension.. anyone know of anyone else who does this sorta work

Sounds like a fair price if it's drive in drive out and they supply the diffs.
