G'day, My 2009 CRD has hit 100,000 ams and I think the cam belt should be done (although some say it doesn't need to be done until 250,00kms !?!). Anyway, does anyone have the recommended service interval for these? Also - any mechanics in Chch other than the Jeep dealer? (who will be a touch ...

I don't mind the "dumb" questions at all, it makes sure I haven't missed anything, umm, dumb..! What gear-set did you install? 4.16:1 so it could be an interface Did you check / replace the roller bearings / spigot bearing on the counter shaft / output shaft? Yes - replaced those bearings. Same ...

yes, I spent some time with the dial gauge getting that set up to within tolerances. A good thought though.

Thanks for the reply quadracer.

it's from Low Range Offroad.

It is louder with the foot off the gas

So I took the Jimny for a spin today to test my rebuilt SJ transfer box with low ratio gears. Driving in 2H there is a pretty noisy whirring sound coming from the box. Back at home I took off the rear shaft and ran it again in the garage in gear and the noise was there. So I've eliminated the shafts ...

G'day, I'd like to take my bikes and kayak (creek) on my wrangler unlimited but not sure about the best way... Has anyone mounted normal gutter racks on their hard top and carried a bike or kayak for extended periods? I'm reluctant to put that sort of load on the plastic gutter. The alternative is ...

ah bugger, I'm after the jack shaft and flange. Thanks though.

Anyone else?

cool, is turoa in chch?

Littlepeepee, still living in Whangarei?

Hopefully it's the last piece of my puzzle!

Awesome - I'm in Chch so if you're also here BlakeJ and keen to sell it then I'd be keen to buy it

I'm after the front prop shaft from an SJ. The shaft off the gear box to the transfer case. Any helpers please?

Thanks

I didn't realise that, thanks. The samurai one would be fine, I could modify the bolt pattern.

Attached a photo of what I'm after x 2.
Thanks

Hi - I'm wanting to buy 2 SJ flanges off a SJ transfer case so I can complete my rock-crawler jimny conversion. Any helpers? Located in Christchurch but happy to pay freight. Falsgrave's had 1, which I bought but I'm short 2 still. The transfer case I started with didn't have any on it. At the time ...

Hi - I'm after 2 SJ flanges off a SJ413 transfer case so I can complete my rock-crawler jimny conversion. Any helpers? Located in Christchurch but happy to pay freight. Thanks, Matt

Hi all,

I'm after a jack shaft and front drive shaft and flanges off a SJ 413 - preferably in christchurch or the SI.

I'm putting one into a jimny, good times.

All the sj parts I see on trademe are in the NI!

I'm after the 2 front drive shafts (jack shaft & front drive) and all flanges off a suzuki SJ 413.

Preferably in chch / canterbury so I can pick up.

Cheers, Matt

Just about finished the SJ crawler box conversion for my Jimny. Have to borrow a dial gauge to check end float / shim requirements then can finally offer it up to the Jimny for the first time! Then I need to find somewhere in chch who can modify the driveshafts and suppy the 2 missing flanges - any ...

I'd read somewhere that 31x10.5's should be run on ~8" rims and 235/75's on a 7" rim.

Mudbits sell a 7" with a -15 offset. Anyone running 235's on those?

Hardyakka - what rims do you run?

Does anyone know what offset is best for a set of 235/75/15 KL71's on 15x7" rims?

They're for a 2000 Jimny with a 3" suspension lift.

Any help appreciated - I'm thinking -20 or so is the go.

Anyone have any for sale too?

Cheers, bj

Thanks for the reply hard yakka but I'm in chch. How do you find those anyway?

I know this is going to polarize people's opinions but I'm new to this and want to try and purchase the right tyres the first time! I have a 2000 Jimny with a 3" suspension lift (no body lift) and soon custom front & rear bars (work in progress). I'm pretty sure Kumho KL71's are the ticket for NZ's ...
