JB74W Jimny - Lightforce LED Upgrade
This is a bit of an overview of the lighting upgrade I've just finished up on the Jimny. I'm really happy with the finished product. The lights aren't over the top and very useable.

2019 Jimny takes on Cut Rock Road - Watagans
Переглядів 44 тис.4 роки тому
In this episode we take the Jimny to the Watagans to try our luck on Cut Rock Rd. This notoriously tight track will give the Jimny a good work out. It should have an advantage over the larger trucks but the size of the rock steps might be a show stopper.

2019 Jimny Tie Down Point

One of the most annoying things about the 2019 Jimny is the lack of tie down and anchoring points in the back.

    How do you find the OME on road? A bunch of folks comment about the fact that it’s similar spring rate as stock, saying it’s still a bit wobbly and not an improvement with load carrying. What’s your view? In my country it’s basically OME or Pedders. Whilst Pedders seems a better fit for my use case, it’s hard to ignore all the security you get with OME. They give a very nice guarantee. I also ask because I’m looking at a similar roof setup. Especially weight wise.

    Hey mate, love your rig. I currently drive a 2006 gen 3 silver bullet but the new black one is arriving in a couple of weeks. Question, with the 40mm lift, what offset did you get on the rims and did they rub at all? (want 235,s but not the rubbing lol...had to trim my guards big time on the 2006). Thanks in advance. Greg

    Hi great video, most seem to miss the gearbox and transfer case. So why did you not just tap the diff breathers and fit the adaptors straight in? was it just easier for you to use the larger hose like we all did years ago.

    • @BillyGoatJim
      @BillyGoatJim 2 роки тому

      I didn’t like the idea of tapping because I didn’t want to risk having swarf from the tap fall into the diff. I know some people use grease to mitigate this.

    For front and rear tie downs I have used the M6 Bolt in the rear as shown. However for the front I have taken out the trim fitting under the rear seats and fitted an M6 tie down there too. 2 Second Job and Front and rear tie down on both sides.
