hey guys my mate is looking into getting a jimny and found that you can get reduction gears but they say for the the 1998 to the 2005 model I was wondering if anyone knew if you could put them into the later model as he is looking at a 2008 model

its the trailjimny gears he is looking at

[tombutt]

and when i look at the website myself i find they have ones for the push button vvt engines aswell wow might need to buy the kid some glasses

[vermin]

are they the trial jimny ones?

[tombutt]

they are these ones http://www.trialjimny.com/newjimny.html that he is wanting to buy if he get the car i must say ive been test driving a few with him and the vitara might be going soon in place of a jimny they are nice and ive seen what zuk nutters can do

only problem is they change both hi and low range.
great if you have huge tyers. not so good if you smaller ones =[

you can get this from japan "http://item.rakuten.co.jp/apio/6020_01/" and that will only do the low range, making it 58% lower. costs $2,320 Au converting the yen... wow thats lots.... and have no idea where you would get the thing from over here...

See if you can drop a sierra leafy case in there. My mate has done it in a 2002 model with M13A and 5spd...pretty easy to do.

if you plan on going to a larger tyre than they would be the gears to go for. you can put a sierra case in there.....but they are a crusty 'ol noisy bit of gear and i'd rather keep the jimny case if you can.

yeah he is pretty keen to jsut run large tyres all the time i think he is looking at 30's dunno why he wants that big considering he has never driven a car on dirt unless its my driveway

with 30s, ul get some serious guard scraping, i got the 235's which is like 29ish, and it rubs like a bitch, even after a bit of trimming, the main bit it rubs is the back of the front arches, which arent easy to cut and still have them looking nice... my 2c.
having said that shes a bit sluggy with the 235s these days... non vvt though
