Smoggy's Jimny

cool i have the same suspension lift as you and mine drives like a boat try running it with standred tyres if you still have them i have polly bushes in the arms at the axle end only not in the chassis end thought it would take out some of the vibration

do you have one of them ora rear upper shock relocators

Drives like a boat as in good or not good?

I dont have one of those shock relocator jobbies, interested in them but financially challenged at the moment :dry:

My standard tyres would look likea pea on a drum :laugh:

it leans alot when cornering iv got used to it now but if you put the standard wheels on and it drives ok/better then you no its just the tyres

ours is not the nicest drive on road :lol:
has 5" lift, special tracks, rock lobster etc

it rattles, vibrates, creaks, clunks and clangs, rolls on bends ( no anti roll bars) :silly: oh and its slow and noisy :blink:

but get it off road and its ace

talking to our local 4x4 specialist he has a simple mantra - if its good offroad it will be sh*t on road and he's owned all sorts of modified 4x4s including SJs, defenders and even an Ibex
so don't worry - just enjoy it off road and drive slowly on road

Yeah Darth its the clunks, clangs, noisiness and heavy sluggish feeling that I notice the most. Being used to a completely standard Jimny then all of a sudden driving this it's come as quite a shock if im honest.

Oh yes and the height of the thing, I drive a transit van all day and that feels like a car compared to the jim :ohmy:
