Tell me when you are going out and I'll stay home!
Only joking - does this mean your big summer road trip is on?

haha very good !
Yessir ! Not sure it's going to be quite as good as i'd hoped. but it's sure going ahead
Todays trial.
Not gunna lie.. it did struggle a bit. Took a few run ups just to get up this little grass hill. Came very close to stalling a few times. Where might i be going wrong in terms of technique?
It terms of equipment.. definitley in need of some nobbley tyres !!
Thanks all !

This also caught me quite redhanded, being used to other cars. The key with the Jimny seems to be keeping your momentum and taking advantage of the light weight. Don't ride the clutch and don't use it to control the revs/engine, just use the accelerator pedal and give it enough "oomph" in order to carry you up the hill. Of course, be careful that you have enough stopping space at the top of aforementioned hill
