Ok so im looking into putting a jimny diff up the front of my coily, but after two hours of searching i cant find any info.
My questions are....
Are the trailing arms a straight swap?
What about the centers?
And im pretty sure i seen something on here saying chromos are avalible for the jimny but i wanna double check anyway.
Other then that is it just a matter of cutting the old strut tower off and welding the jimny one on??
Any help would be awesome, Thanks.

I can't help you with the technical but I know that both tuffcoily and ZookiMonsta have done it. You could try Pm'ing them and asking or else this is the link to ZookiMonsta's build: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10041&start=210.

I think they bolt in but you need swap coil mounts. I have a complete jimny front diff here for sale aswell  _________________ Do cool stuff, Put it on the internet Sierra build, Jimny build https://www.youtube.com/user/redzook1

How much for that diff?
And would that include the top chassis mount?

Not saying it won't fit but being a coily front centers might not be able to be swapped
Also Jimny being 4.3 I think, you'll have to find a 4.3 center for the rear because coily are 3.9

This swap never made sense to me.
You do away with the coily front end, and put one in that is just as fragile, and expensive to up-spec. Off the shelf cromos are still a little while off, and I can say with some confidence....they will never be as cheap as WT sierra ones. You still run the un-gearable High pinion front centre ( which is the same size as a 1L sierra). You still have the same weak and poorly designed raius arms as the coily, and the only benifit is the upper coil buckets, which IMO are a piontless mod unless you address the other issues with the factory design.

After doing this mod and using it for quite a while I totally agree with Fatzook here... Yes the car works and handles better than a standard coily but going a WT front diff would of made much more sense. I will be putting in a WT front diff as well as changing the limited radius arm front end design very shortly.
