Offsetting all this the newer models will not require a lot of repairs or welding!!
Also the later models are zinc coated or galvanised .
The dash is better and the radio is double din although the Jimny facia plate has rounded edges making standard double din radios hard to fit.
The later models(2005/6 onwards) are push button 4WD
I started off high and worked my way down ever since

Another option with the later Jimny would be to get the above and a standard single din flip out dvd player and put a single din pocket in with it. This would fill up the double din space. If you could get a cheap flip out one off ebay or somewhere it would keep the total cost down.

Just a thought but if you can walk round Halfords & look at stereos so can thieves so they probably know what to look for when its all folded away. I've got a 15year old Sony tape deck that I've had in my last 4 cars, the radio has RDS so stays tuned in & the tape converter makes it work well with the iPod.
So would the tape deck make it more desirable to young thieves as they are probably to young to remember tapes & might think its a new fangled idea ???

This is very true, but I really want something like that in the car, the whole touch the screen change the music quickly more safely, Or i can get some bluetooth parrot thingy ive heard of but i do like the sound of the screen. If i got the flip out screen it would still be less likely to be stolen but then again its more of the wrong time wrong place rather than what you actually have in your car :/
