Mighty Jimny
Allow me to introduce a much robust and stronger Jimny. We started our association as a standard 2013 model, so suppose to be a day runner, yeah right heard that before. Those that know me will say I am not shy to modify.
Well from standard she grew, from mild to wild. Still a true Jimny, bigger 1800 engine, stronger than before, I broke my standard diff beginning of March, not ideal, meant more robust diff to withstand all the torque.
Now this is new Jimny, tested Saturday at Zuurplaats Klim en Klouter, part of the Maxxis tournament. The diff based on the same 30 spline side shafts of a D4D, Prado 4.3 centre portion, disc brakes all round, e-locker. It past the test, against bigger opponents, it came third.
