      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

    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.

    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!
