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
Переглядів 16 тис.4 роки тому
One of the most annoying things about the 2019 Jimny is the lack of tie down and anchoring points in the back. I've finally found a decent way of securing loads in the back with this quick mod that costs less than $50. I used the Grunt E-track mounting system (from Bunnings): usegrunt.com/product-category/e-track-and-accessories/ 4 x Single E-track space savers 4 x Tie Off with D Ring 8 x M8x40...

One of the nicer day trips close to Sydney, offroad through the Turon National Park in the 2019 Jimny is a must. Awesome riverside camping and endless river crossing make this fun for the novice and experienced driver alike. The tracks are not difficult and you can take them on with a stock 4x4 in dry conditions. Track start: 33° 8'12.22"S 149°58'27.90"E The camping along the river is spectacul...

2019 Jimny - Diff Breather Installation
Переглядів 20 тис.4 роки тому
This is an overview of how I installed a breather kit on my Jimny in 2 hours. If you plan on doing any river crossings or mud driving, extending the factory breathers is a cheap and easy mod that can go a long way in keeping water out of all the important parts. The kit is from Air On Board and has 6 ports - 2 for each diff, 1 for the transfer case and 1 for the gearbox. Exact kit can be found ...

2019 Jimny - ARB Lockers vs no lockers
Переглядів 34 тис.4 роки тому
Quick comparison of the same bit of track with lockers on and off
Sorry to bring this back, but how did you manage to install a breather hose on the transmission? I've been told its nearly impossible to reach without dropping the tranny all together. Please help.
I would suggest NOT buying ARB . I have had nothing but bad problems with this aftermarket garbage.
Wheres the new videos?
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.
How much does it cost to install air locker both in the rear and front?
Would a 80mm tough dog suspension lift be too much for a 4 door jimmny ? Your opinion?
Leave the traction control on ya twit. It's not as good as real lockers, but you still would of got up there using just trac control, it simply would not if been as pretty.
Is it automatic transmission ?
I think the stock one has LSD differential. Why you put ARB?
So sir no need to 4x4 if put to differential lock right sir
So a new Suzuki Jimny comes with no diff locks by default?
yes
Hello I am thinking of installing a rear blocker. Can you share with me the ARB rear block model and compressor? parts numbers...thanks
Yeah I got rear locker and never looked back, the rig never fails and I live in the Wild West coast of Tasmania. If I’m in 4wd I have that rear locker on and blitz every obstacle in my way, Rear diff locker is a must on a jimny.
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
2:50 what a setback Jimnys can do that. Its the fault from teh driver.
What size hose did you use for the Transfer case?
Holy tomorrow that was easy once locked in!
Good to see Jon Bernthal is into Jimny's too
Good video. I need to try this for transfer case. Spent a good 35 mins trying to get hose on. But think will need right angle adapter. Do you remember size of pieces used? Cheers
Утиль...
Hi mate, were you able to use the same compressor for both diffs?
Cool rig and vid. Does anybody know if a bullbar is too heavy on the standard suspension?
I am in NZ where do I get this kit.Thanks for any advice.
Fine
Nice Jimny. Strangely I parked next to it in JS the other day LOL
nice setup, does the OME's upgrade your gvm or are you not insured due to all that weight?
Do you know the part number for the lockers? Mi dealer doesn’t know about it
The (all grip) system should have kicked in and would have climbed that easy
No debate the all grip is a bonus but lockers are on a completely different level. No delays with lockers.
Still the best Jimny channel around, hoping for that comeback one day!
Thanks for the great videos! Just wondering if you ever have experience both front and rear brake loss after going deep in the mud hole? My jimny's brakes are at 50% performance after going through similar hole. Thanks
Great video! Quick question, in total you only needed 3 breathers out of the 6, right? One for the gear box, 1 for the transfer, and 1 for the differential. Am I right?
Hi, there’s one each for the front and rear differential and one for the transfer case, I’m not aware of an other 3.
@@BillyGoatJim Got it! Thanks!!!
Nice work. It’s a top track. One of my favourites. Here is a link to driving in my Sierra ua-cam.com/video/pEkckXy24UI/v-deo.html
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.
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.
@@BillyGoatJim Thanks, I can understand that. The first time I had to tap a Cylinder Head after a customer had damaged the Spark Plug threads was scary, but I had forgotten about that over the years.
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.
love new jimny!! pls can you tell me what exact winch have you installed? i want to install one but i m a little bit confused. i think yours is the best for the new jimny.. Thanx and i wish you the best. (pls excuse my bad english)
Can I ask is there a reason you didn’t just use the child seat mounting points at the rear? Love what you’ve done. Very practical.
Have to use momentum in the Jimny unless you have reduction gears to crawl especially to use the all grip properly
what size tires do you have
Hi Billy, did you get under car rust protection? And if so, where a outs in Sydney would you recommend? Awesome jimny mods, little beast for sure. Cheers.
What size r the clamp?
Did it get heavy with the bumper? I heard they are slow from the stock engine
Honestly I didn’t notice that much of a difference.
what tyre size are these ? And original rims ? tnx
Havent seen a video in a year! whats going on mate
Love the vids GOAT 👊🏽
I was told breathers just for the differentials are enough and that i dont need them for the transfer case and gearbox.. what do you think ?
hi, i miss new videos :) ?
Thanks for the video. Do you remember what size hose you had to use on the transfer case spigot? I know you did yours over a year ago now so no worries if you've forgotten! All still going hard with the diff breather btw? I just got an ARB one and will have a crack at it over the weekend
Love the ARB bullbar but have one eye on weight which is an issue with the jimny and GVM. Been thinking of using ATV winch which most manufacturers make say sth like a 4500 lb T max that weighs in at under 10kg. Any thoughts? What winch you install?
Awesome Billy goat love watching what u do, keep up the great work keep the vids coming 👊🏽
Hey mate, any tips of getting the breather caps off. They don't seem to want to budge.
Yeah bud, screwdriver and lever them off, they end up bending and popping off
@@BillyGoatJim cheers, I might need a bigger screwdriver.
