Hi ,
My handle is Zukiny.....suZUKI jimNY....that's my current rig for the past 4 yrs.

It's a 1.3 ltrs. or 79.2 cu. ins...G13BB SOHC Multi pt Fi...also an auto (don't ask me why?)

O'er here our little island of 'bout 4 million folks is pretty built up so we wheel up north in Malaysia , host to the Annual rainforest Challenge.

There are precious little rocks but what we have are ''V'' gullies, Rivers,Railroad-ruts, very sticky mud and most of the time plenty of rainfall..!!

Significantly we do not go for low-range transfers or R&P unless our tyres are that much oversized.

We go taller tyres just for axle clearance cos' the Malaysians are predominantly shodded with 35" or 36" Centipedes and we often get high centered in their wake....!!

Our Jimnys are leading and trailing arms and rigid axles with 3 point links on coil springs.

We too have our suspension lift problems ......but it's caster .

On my rig I'm installing a reground cam(cos' they don't make an after market cam for the G13BB ) and a slightly worked over head.

My output shud be 'bout 90hp. after all those mods if I think I've gotten a 10-12% incr. in HP..?

Am using a Warn M6000 with masterpull's plasma rope....so far so good tho the end lug had pulled off more than I care to recall. Have figured a way outta that problem and now.... it's either the motor stalls or the rope will break but the securing lug will NEVER pull off.

Happy Wheelin.......
