Good man youll have more of a laugh in a jimny than any range rover.. slap some good tires on and your away thats where the addiction starts tho :huh:

I no cant wait i will need the back seats taking out and some ply putting down so i can fit a triple terrierbox and some tools in ther now i was wondering with the soft top version i will have to take the roof off evry time to acsess my tools and dogs so a hard top will suite me better for winter and a soft top with the top off alltogeather for summer is ther anything i shuld be looking out for whilst purchasing my jimny what are the diffrent modles ? as i have seen a cuple diffrent numbers after jimney ie jimny jlx or jimny vvt

JLX and JLX+ is the trim level as is O2 on the soft tops

VVT is the newer engine. There are three types of engine the G13BB fitted in early hard tops and most soft tops belt (driven). Then the M13A chain driven. Then finally the M13A VVT (variable valve timing).

The soft tops just need the rear window bottom unhooking or unpopping (depending on type) and then the rear door can open.

As a cheeky aside I have a 55 VVT for sale and an 04 Soft top if your looking.

Thanks , how much are you looking for your jimnys theres thousands on the internet to many to choose from

VVT = variable valve timing

Up to now i found a 05 plate with 127000miles on for 1900 And a cuple of 03 plates with 60 -75000 miles on for around 19-2grand
