Thanks... that is a great site. Also the links to snake racing and bigballs offroad.. I havent been to those sites in a while.. Its great to see some accessories available for the jimny..
How does the low range work in the NEW Jimny? You press that 'magic' button. What is it doing? All my 4wds have had a separate gear stick to go between high range and low range... Like the earlier model Jimnys... Is it possible the later models dont have a transfer case?? Confused I am

the new jimny has got a t/case, it's just push button.
you can also get a different gear set for the t/case, will bring the gearing back to standard if you are running 30-31" tires, these cost about 650euro and freight is 70euro to Australia, with a 5-7 day delivery, see
www.geocities.com/trailjimny/
for any info, and a lot of experience on jimny's have a read of the jimny forum on
www.jimnyworld.com/forum/

Is this as reliable as 2nd gear stick?? Is it the same transfer case? Will the low reduction kit from trialjimny fit??

they appear to be the same, exept that the gearing is different.
The old crawl ratio was 23:1.
The new crawl ratio is 30:1.
the new jimny still has the hole in the floor for a t/case gear leaver (it's just got a plate over it) so changing to an older jimny or a siera with rockhoppers wouldn't be a problem. that is if the case is different i mean, but its already got a better low. and the auto is lower than the manual.
best case senario get an auto case put it in your manual
oh yeah suzuki is offering 4in lift, lockers, underbody armer, winch bullbar, snorlel, tyre upgrade, 80 litre fuel tank and in suzi yellow all as options
how good is that

I am curious... Where did you get this info? Did you calculate it?

all the info you can find about the new jimny is in the jimnyworld forum, under "general" and then new jimny.
the cost of the trailjimny gears i e-mailed them myself as i'm seriously considering using these
