2019 Jimny Tie Down Point

[@fotolander]

You mentioning the points that already come in the car are M6 just maemy day, gonna run tomorrow morning to the hardware store for some smaller tie down points :D thanks a lot for this video!

[@BillyGoatJim]

You’re welcome 👍

[@anthonyellison6081]

Great work, will be following this guide on the weekend!

[@sbird7251]

Nice finish. If you wanted something temporary, you can just use the child seat tie down points, and scavenge a few child seat strap+clip sets from hard rubbish days. On the front side of the seats, remove the plastic lug, and replace with a D buckle, an M6 bolt and a 'mudguard' washer. A little bit of rubber tubing can be pulled into the gap to stop them rattling.

Awesome, My Jimny gets delivered next week. This is a great idea! I can't wait to start adding mods like this to it! I love your other videos btw.

[@BillyGoatJim]

Cheers, Enjoy the Jimny. So much fun

[@davidstoodley6488]

great videos..please keep it up! Retired American in the Philippines moding a JB74 and I like your setup. Didn't know if lockers were available but your video answered that question. Thanks.

[@BillyGoatJim]

Thanks. They’re a great car and once you add lockers they can go just about anywhere

[@davidanderson8381]

A cool set-up for any 4x4 - cheers.

[@BillyGoatJim]

Cheers 👍

[@talk2leo]

Can I ask is there a reason you didn’t just use the child seat mounting points at the rear? Love what you’ve done. Very practical.

[@Afrikaaner72]

Good idea!!! Come to Spain and do it in my Jimny! :D

[@4WheelingInNSW]

Good video champ .... go the Zook 😉👍 One quick question though - why did you use cuphead bolts that are designed to pull into timber when you were tightening down onto metal ? The square section in the shaft and domed top wouldn’t allow you to really tightening it right up ? I thought you’d just use a hex head bolt so you can hole the bolt head tight as you tightened the nut ... 🤔 Or do those mounts have a square hole in them that holds the shaft still while tightening the nut ? Anyway, great video champ. Great little car and great to see you out and about using it - Turon is a top spot eh. Keep up the great work 👍👍

[@BillyGoatJim]

Thank you... You’re spot on, the brackets have square holes that take the square section of the bolt... Turon is beautiful. Might catch you out there one day. Cheers

[@4WheelingInNSW]

Billy Goat Jim name the day champ 😆 My mate has a new Jimny, great little car off-road. We did a good run Sunday just gone through the Gardens Of Stone National Park and the Baal Bone Gap track - great fun 👍👍 We fitted up an xrox bar to it few months back, looks pretty cool. kzbin.info/www/bejne/epu9oaiNbNx7btk

[@BillyGoatJim]

Nice one, I was just up at Newnes on Friday was thinking about heading up that way but ran out of time... The new Jimny looks great with the xrox

[@4WheelingInNSW]

Billy Goat Jim Newnes eh - probably passed each other on the way out 😆😆

[@jacobcoetzee2185]

Hey mate! Hope you’re well! This is an awesome idea! I was wondering if you could help me out with the measurements for LxW for that jack holder area? As well as what the height of the styrofoam is at its thickest. I’m looking to mount a battery back there using your technique, but my Jim only arrives in a few months and want to make sure that I buy a battery that will fit in there.

[@haydenlavender2298]

I'm currently doing this and have rhe back tie down points in and theyre awesome hey. Cheers for the tip! Looking at doing the ones in the carpet and i dont see how it's humanly possible to get a spanner in there to do up the nuts hey. Might have to get the carpet brackets a miss unfortunately

[@BillyGoatJim]

Good to here. Yes there was a lot of four letter words getting thrown around trying to get to those nuts

[@MightyOverlander]

Great guide!

[@sansomountain]

Are you powering your fridge by the 12V in the back connected to the starter battery? And if so, Any issues so far?

[@harrypotty5643]

Good stuff dude love seeing DIY jimny stuff.

[@BillyGoatJim]

Good to hear

[@James.watson4]

Awsome video dude, I have the old style jimny as my daily 03 reg and I love it 👍🏼

[@BillyGoatJim]

Cheers, can’t go wrong with a jimny

[@James.watson4]

Billy Goat Jim love it!!

[@jamespiva-giblett5264]

For front and rear tie downs I have used the M6 Bolt in the rear as shown. However for the front I have taken out the trim fitting under the rear seats and fitted an M6 tie down there too. 2 Second Job and Front and rear tie down on both sides.

[@whisthpo]

"and the hardest part was trying to reach some of the nuts because the Jimny is so cramped in places." Have you tried Rivnuts? They were made for when there is no access on the other face your drilling into...

[@BillyGoatJim]

I didn’t even think of that. Not a bad idea. Cheers

[@whisthpo]

@@BillyGoatJim Thanks for the reply Jim, I have used them for quite a few yrs now but just recently, I bought the 'Proper' tool for them...to say I had an 'epiphany' would be an understatement !

[@BillyGoatJim]

They’re a great invention. I have used them before but it didn’t cross my mind in this situation. 👍

[@BooleanError9]

Never used these before, great idea. Would a steel M8 rivnut be sufficient for moderate loads?

[@BillyGoatJim]

As long as you don’t put too much force on it, just keep in mind If you’re off road bouncing around this may put extra force on any tie down points

[@eddiekwiecien5514]

Just to compliment your writing text,since no one has noticed or knows, but I think it’s the font is from golden eye on n64. Nice trick

[@BillyGoatJim]

Wow if that’s true you have keen eye... I’m not sure if it is. I loved that game

[@dd____1]

I cant seem to find the Grunt 50mm Tie off on bunnings, they must have cancelled the product :(((((((((((((

[@BillyGoatJim]

That sucks. I don’t recall seeing them lately

[@petroverba6054]

Simple and awesome!

[@BillyGoatJim]

Cheers

[@LEGD10]

Well done!

[@BillyGoatJim]

Thank you

[@LEGD10]

Do you know if they ship to USA? I dont like the quality of the one that I can get here, those Grunts looks amazing.

[@BillyGoatJim]

I’m not sure. We can buy them at our local hardware down here.

[@amilcarjoel1953]

Niceee!! I will do it

[@BillyGoatJim]

Good to hear 👍

[@altragoat8090]

Any reason why you didnt want use the baby restraints tie in point?

[@BillyGoatJim]

Child restraints aren’t designed to hold cargo at odd angles you may end up compromising the integrity of the restraint if you use it to strap down 60kg worth of fridge off-road.

[@altragoat8090]

@@BillyGoatJim Makes sense mate. Really enjoying what your doing with your Jimny. both in the shed and on tracks. Subbed!

[@BillyGoatJim]

Cheers, some new stuff coming soon

[@thaddaus8841]
