Trailer

Anyone have a trailer on their Jimny?

I'd quite like a utility trailer of reasonable quality but not OTT, any recommendations/pictures? :whistle:

Id strongly recommend Ifor Williams, i've just traded in my Ifor williams 1400kg GD8x4 2006 trailer at 6 years old with medium use it was still perfect, and towed well.
I only traded in my 8x4 as I wanted a LT12x6 2000kg 2008 flatbed to carry my jimny, and wouldn't consider anything but an Ifor williams.
The GD8x4 was fine behind the jimny (perfect for my Grand Vitara), but my LT12x6 twin axle would be too heavy for a jimny and its a bit much for the GV, I however use a shogun for heavy stuff.

You will probally find the following more to your needs,

I am now also going to change my 2000kg 12x6 for a higher capacity 2600kg or 3500kg unit once I get the chance as my ORA winch bumper and Roll cage ect have made the jimny on my trailer about 50kg overweight. This again will be a Ifor Williams.
I know its only 50kg but my house/job depends on my licence and I do alot of work for VOSA and so I know they are heartless scum.

Thanks Mate, that looks just like the sort of thing!

Look at what you're using it for and how much. That williams one is a great trailer, look at brenderup and blue line too though. A guy i know is a tree surgeon and swears by brenderup trailers, using a couple of different sizes.
If you're only using it occasionally the ones with little trailer tyres should be ok, the downside to these is they don't last very long if you use it a lot or carry a bit of weight.
I've got a small 50kg trailer thats been used for everything, we chuck the bikes in it on weekends, tip runs, collecting firewood, we even moved a lot of the house last house move with it! Its only 5x3 with a drop tail but its perfect for the jimny. The only issue is that it doesn't tow level now i've lifted the jimny.

I've been lucky enough to be given this:
It tows a treat but you certainly know its there behind the jimny! I'll rarely have it loaded to its max of 1100kg though so its a great trailer, it needs some tlc but i'm still not sure what i'm doing with it yet. I really only needed it for storage but we can use it for camping to take all our bikes and kit securely but need something bigger to tow it comfortably before that.

If just to for going on holiday or to the dump you don't need a big trailer.

cute :lol: You should put a set of tires that match the vehicle. It looks like about the same size trailer I want
