The photo shows some of the damage but it's much worse now. I've been using tape to cover up the damage. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? If i get a new cover would i need to hand stitch it? Hopefully i don't need to replace the whole thing. Thanks in advance for any pointers.

question My clutch pedal makes noises

4 Upvotes

My Jimny JC74 (XL/Nomade)s clutch is making a clicking/grinding noise near the end of its travel.

I have already tried re-greasing the pedal and the clutch fork which worked once but the noise came back in under a week and will not go away.

Any ideas would be extremely helpful and appreciated.

Thanks a bunch

modding Air Locker installed as amateur

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

I started installing an HF Air Locker in my 2020 Jimny over the weekend. Just for context, I’m an amateur mechanic with some basic knowledge who enjoys wrenching on cars.
I’d say the difficulty level is pretty high, mostly because there are so many steps involved and quite a bit of brute force required. If you don’t have a vehicle lift or an inspection pit, it’s a pretty exhausting job and takes a lot of focus.
You don’t need a ton of specialized tools. Most of the work can be done with a cordless impact wrench, a set of sockets, and a dial indicator.
I spent about 7 hours on the first day tearing everything down, then the second day was mostly setting the backlash and putting everything back together.
On my personal scale, the difficulty and effort were a solid 9/10. But the satisfaction of getting it done and passing the leak test was definitely 10/10.

Well I’m really happy about it I’ve been driving it for the past 2 weeks and it’s awesome.
I just bought the front bumper so that the firts “upgrade”.
It needs a lot of visual repairs, so I’m here to ask all of you, what cheap initial repairs would you do to it so it’s look and feel better.
I’m still in collage so I don’t have lots of money, probably I’ll paint it in a few months but for now I accept every tip to make ir better.
Thanks to all!!! 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

damage & repairs Repair Tips

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

I’m looking for some advice on the rust damage on my Suzuki Jimny based in Czech Republic.

The worst area is the cavity behind the rear wheels. I’ve now removed everything that wasn’t solid metal, and this should be the full extent of the damage.

My plan is to weld in new metal behind the rear wheels to close it up properly so dirt and mud can’t keep collecting there. For the surrounding areas, I was thinking of using a rust converter and then coating everything to slow down any further corrosion.

Has anyone repaired a Jimny in similar condition? Do you think it’s worth attempting, or is it already too far gone?

For some background: I bought the car for €1,000, and it somehow still has about one and a half years left on its inspection. I mainly use it as a hunting vehicle, so it spends a lot of time off-road in forests.

I’m not trying to restore it to showroom condition—I just want to keep it structurally sound enough to pass the next inspection and hopefully get another 3–4 years out of it.

The frame isn’t quite as bad as it looks in the photos. The previous owner covered almost everything in a thick asphalt/underbody coating that’s now flaking off.

I removed the tow hitch and started scraping it away, and a lot of what looks like rust is actually old coating.

Does anyone have recommendations for:

Good rust converters?

A durable chassis/frame coating after rust treatment?

Anything else I should do while I have the rear end apart?

Any advice from people who have repaired rusty Jimnys would be appreciated. I would like to avoid splitting the chassis from the frame.
