I am loving the look of that. I bet in the water it would nearly float! :)

From a practical point of view I can see the idea of it, driving in the deep snow.

But other than that.. It's a bit too much if you ask me.

Are we to assume that the spare now has to live inside...:whistle:


No spare taken to trips. Only tire repairment tools ;)

I get that. You guys just want the flex :silly:

I use this car on higway (50-70 mp/h), in town, on glaciers and on offroad trails in Iceland. Summer and winter. Remember there is not snow here all year around. And river crossing.

It flexes fine, the tires will go inside the fender flares, without rubbing. ;)
Will post pics later ;)

I have to cut more out of the archers.

I am looking for a good suspension setup for the jimny, hard to decide what to get.
Any suggestions that will be good for me?

Has to be good on higway and offroad... :)

Replaced head gaskets as it started to blow in coolant... finally stopped overheating after that. It did not overheat much, just about 96-99°C...
