An Off-road Modification: Jigado – Suzuki Jimny Sierra





An off roader from Bandung modified a new style in an off-road and named it Jagado (Jimny gado Dado red) As usual, the style is quite radical modification. Although the basic component, such as chassis and body, modified Suzuki Jimny Sierra, but the other components picked from another vehicle brand, such as the Jeep CJ-7 engines, Garden Mercedes Unimog 4011, Toyota Gearbox FA, the blend between Cherokee Snail and Unimog, and so on.
Hadi Kusnadi or usually called Atung creates a new specification that appears slightly different this time. Because gambot dimensions is invisible on his  Jimny Sierra. This Japanese-made jeep has a quick look as the original. Unimog 4011 election dimension garden is so wide that is balanced by the body and chassis Jimny. Besides, its body design was made simple. Only half of the body that still has a Jimny-look, the rest roll bar welded directly to the chassis Jimny is already in reinforcement. The front and rear suspension can adjust the height level of the stone. The jeep is designed to go rock crawling. In addition to its low ratio crawling, traveling is also a longer suspension. Let the rock climb easier.

Jeep CJ-7 engine is clearly more qualified. In addition to great strength was sufficient torque to creep slowly in stone. Due to the narrow Sierra engine compartment fire wall had to be sacrificed and dibobok. For ignition and carburetor is allowed as the original. Jigado owned supple suspension thanks to a combination coil springs belonging Unimog (front) and Cherokee (rear) as well as the original default sokbreker Toyota Land Cruiser VX. In order to maximize suspension movement, the car is supported by 5 link arm in the front and 4 link in the rear. The dashboard is made of aluminum plate but without the intricate panels. Still wear seat-owned Jimny Sierra has 4 point seat belts. Slightly odd interior makes this is a long stick shift and brake levers that has extra size as well.
20 inch rims combined Unimog owned Dunlop SP7 12.5 × 20 makes ground clearance Jimny Atung higher. CJ-7 power engine mated to a 5-speed gearbox Toyota FA combined transfer care as Sil. Gear ratio of the gearbox Toyota FA 1:7,2. While the transfer case gear low of 1:2,7. As a means of recovery, Atung prefers a hydraulic PTO is believed capable of pulling a load up to 10 tons. 4011 Mercedes Unimog axle not only strong but also has a high ground clearance. In addition it is equipped with hydraulic water locker factory default. Final gear ratio garden Unimog's got 1:7, 56.
