Is this is the only thing that is making you consider selling your Jimny, then to be quite honest - it is deffo time you need to get out of the 4x4 experience ....

Problems that i consider (maybe once a month for the last 8years) ...

Annual MOT
Making sure my Jimny will go up/dwon anything i point it at
Servicing (i do this all myself)
Breakages ( i aim to repair everything myself, if not i use local/friendly garages)
Cost of parts (cheapest is not always the best)
Running costs (with a low box and 16" wheels and tyres, I'm lucky to get 20mph)
Insurance (around £360 per year, not much but the Jimny only gets used monthly)
Road Tax (is it now £240 a year?)
Jet Wash after a monthly trip - ok its only a fiver but over the year thats £60
Costs getting to/from and each Green Lane trip - on averge this is £75 per trip

the price of laning with a good bunch of lads/friends - priceless ....

the excitiment of laning once a month - pricesless ....

the 'looks' you get when driving your modified Jimny on the roads - pricesless ...


Don't give it up, you'll regret it !!
