Hey all
I have a 2003 O2, (had to chop in my Defender due to wife giving me grief for having to hitch up her skirt to get in and out of it
Anyway, had the Jimny for a year, love it, but would like to make it a bit more aggressive looking.
Was thinking of a little lift, and some new wheels (no need for alloys) and tyres.
Any recommendations.
Its not for serious off roading, and I do tend to drive it on road quite a lot.
Thanks in advance
PS, I'm cost sensitive

How about a 2" lift and slightly bigger tyres in an all terrain, maybe a 195/80/15 on some modulars in a wheel & tyre package deal?

Fit a set of four square spotlights, so people melt when you flash, I love the look they've give my Jimny. And defo on the snorkel.

I have an O2 soft top that is currently in the transformation state from Barbie to Action Man.. mine is having 4" suspension, 2" body and lots of other bits the wife is not fully clear on the cost of!
you can do a cheap and simple 1-2" lift using spring and shock spacers.. then add some bigger tyres to fill the arches a little... Snorkel and spots would 'man it up' a little too..
I'd say add some chunky tyres but living with them on road daily is a compromise I would only take if you expect to get it dirty once in a while.

ive got a black O2 and pretty much the same position as you! Got some black modulars so far, and need to wire in my old spots from the landy, attempting to find a way to put them on the roof at the mo...
then probably a snorkel, and when the tyres need replacing do them. Oh, and the exhuast has a hole in it, sounds like a proper truck haha!

Thanks for all the responses.
I think a 2 inch lift (springs and shocks), and larger tyres on the 3spoke mode wheels.
