I'm pretty sure nobody on here has done a sill chop on a Jimny yet. I have done a repair to a fairly damaged Jimny sill and I don't think it would be any harder that on a Sierra. If you are going to reinforce the sill with RHS you shouldn't also attach to the chassis as the body and chassis aren't hard fixed. |

If there hollow in there there isn't a difference, but if its got supports or weird ribbing it could throw the whole operation out. I plan on notching mine so I can run the chassis mounted supports up as high as possible... |

When I had the black Jimny sill open for repair I don't remember seeing anything, pretty sure they are hollow |

The chassis is way lower than the sills, but I was gonna do some body mounted sliders for mine still. The chassis can take a knock here and there and the angles usually punish your sills first. One of my plastic ones got ripped right off! I couldnt figure out the best way to do it but I reckon RHS is the go. Bolt on? But to the body, not the chassis. |

I wish I saved some pictures of the silver jimny when I was looking at buying my jimny. There is a silver jimny getting around the Sunshine Coast, he replaced his sills with about a three inch tube but it looks really neat, the jimny has had the grill cut off the bonnet and replaced it with some toy boy racer mesh. |

They have a radius body panel under the plastic sill covers. Just cut it out(its hollow) and put some rhs in there.

Obviously not a Jimny, but it is an idea that you may consider. Is fitted on to body panels with riv nuts
