    The reason there is water in the diff is because it dosnt have extended diff breathers and when it's gone in the water the heat has crated a vaccume and Sucked the water into the diff. You need to extend the breathers front and back, and the gearbox and the transfer box. Run them into t pieces that Finnish at the top of the snorkel.

      Martin Sir, do you have any experience with the extended radius arms? I'm looking at the Jimnybits one's but I think the Hardrace ones are better because you can adjust their length.
      I don't like the Jimny lifted currently because the castor settings are not good.

      @@jessebrown1400 I am not familiar with the Hardrace ones . I took a look at them and cannot see an "adjustable" one. If they do one I would be very cautious as these arms take a lot of battering and people have had experience of some aftermarket arms breaking in use, I would imaging that any adjustable element might weaken them

    I remember driving my old Jimny back from and off road day. I managed to break the transfer box mounts, snap one of the badly corroded body mounts and the head gasket blew. We cable tied the transfer box up with many many cables ties and filled up as many containers as we could with river water and began the normally 1 and a half hour journey home. We made in home in about 3 hours only stopping around 20ish times to fill up Mr Jimny on river water and allow him to cool down a little. What a machine!

    Dear possible Carly customers. I want to make it known that this is a subscription service that auto-renews. I bought it to try and resolve a specific problem, and ended up getting rid of the car. I therefore put it in a drawer and forgot about it. That is until I saw that they had taken another payment from my account a year later. When I contacted them to resolve, they advised that it auto-renews for a WHOLE YEAR unless you give them a months notice that you want to cancel. I appreciate that I made an error but I thought "oh well, maybe they will do the right thing and cancel immediately and refund the payment". No this isn't the case, my error, should have read the small print properly. No refund. Oh and you will not receive a reminder before renewal to tell you that is is going to auto-renew.

    I just bought a 1992 Suzuki Katana from a relative. A 4x2 version of the Jimny (previous gen, made umtil 2006) with a 1 litre engine. I live in Indonesia, these are capable of great punishment on bad roads. Like a Jeep underneath but with 45 bhp and a reasonably comfy drive. The leaf springs are part of the package. Compared to a modern car, so simple and so cheap on parts. Grocery getter and leaner driver proof I am keeping my Jeeps for other purposes.

    I love this project so much, can't wait an upgrade and see that Jimny in some offroad action.

    Good to see Taylor laughing his ass off at Alex's antics! The innuendos are always funny to hear

    I really enjoyed this video. I enjoy them all, but this one more than normal. You should show more content like this
