broken props

[ROBBIE]

if you brake a rear prop would it be ok to remove it and drive in 4wd??

[Darrell]

Well I wouldn't recommend it but I have seen people do that without a problem. I know if the prop failed that's what I'd do to get home..
As long as it's just the prop and nothing else :IE just a UJ collapsed.

I drove one on the road for a year like that with no probs.

FWD SJ

Its now got a new prop and is back on offroad duty

Well that answers that one

[ROBBIE]

cheers guys its not me its the son-in-laws jimny we took the rear off last week because the sliding joint has broken. so hes been using it in 4wd but now the t/box seems to be on its way out

[Edweird]

Well, the forces on the t-box will be coming from a different direction when in front wheel as opposed to rear, maybe SUzuki skimped on bearings or something with the Jimny

[ScottieJ]

Jimny boxes aren't as strong as SJ ones as they are chain driven. Should be able to pick one up cheap enough as a lot of people upgrade them to sj transfer boxes

[twiss]

I've found my SJ becomes very wheelspin happy when only on the front prop!

[ROBBIE]

thanks for all the replies we got a replacement box all sorted now seems you cant use a jimny as front wheel drive and tow a trailer

[ScottieJ]

And tow a trailer I like the way you missed that bit out originally
