Yes it will.
Unless you have a WT Maruti rear third, the ratio will be wrong though.

Youre a bit unclear.
What front centre are you putting in? What is the ratio of both?

Cool, using the Whole front end is a good idea.

Isn't it only 17mm or something?
I'd be more concerned about getting the tie rod, panhard and drag link to get along without fighting, but anyways, it's certainly the way to "fix" the glass jimny front end, and have some choice in diff ratios too

Steve. 15mm I think the panhard chassis mount might have to be moved to clear w/t steering but defiantly doable. Look forward to seeing how this turns out. If I was to build another jimny it's what I would be doing. Gives you a few more gearing options to run taller gears in the diff and lower in the transfer case
