Hello new member was created by Fingers

I'm in the process of selling my old car, once that is done, i'm on a Jimny hunt

I'm at the stage where i'm trying to find out as much jimny knowledge as I can.

I interested in a Jimny ages between 2000 and 2004. I don't really fancy the 2005+ with the 4WD buttons :unsure:

what sould I look out for ??

I've been looking around the internet, to see what aftermarket off road parts are available,
the one thing i can't seem to find it a "front diff guard" ? :S

cheers, Jon

Hello and welcome,

I should try and aavoid an ABS model too, it can complicate any brake modifications you may want/need to do.

Welcome along!
Look out for rust in the boot area and rear seatbelt mounts.
Look out for significant wheel wobble at speed (search death wobble)
Look out for spending too much money and time on this site :silly:

Good luck in your hunt!
