Welcome
I use my hardtop for lamping rabbits- yes a soft top would be better suited but I manage just fine!
Me and a mate go out, rimfires with led torches fitted to the scopes. I drive with the HMR rested on my lap with the barrel up out the window (so v safe) and my mate shoots from the passenger window. Tbh most shots can be taken in the headlights. Getting some v big bags this way so no complaints here

Sounds like good fun, especially if the bags are good. I may go down the soft top route as then I can get a driver, some one one the lamp and squeaking and someone in the back with the rifle. I just prefer the openness of a pick up/soft top for foxes but happily pop rabbits off all night from inside the cab.

To be fair- when I got my Jimny I only went for it as it was £400 lol
had I been looking for one for shooting it would have been a soft top. An auto could be handy too- easier to crawl along slowly without punishing the clutch too much! You got an Hmr or a .223 for the foxes?

i use mine for similar purposes and cant really fault it. the only negatives for me would be a cramped cab and not the best suspension.
easy to maintain , relatively economical for a 4x4 and very capable.
mine has a few mods that came on it but if i were looking again i would go for a standard motor with low mileage. all you would really need to do would be get some slightly larger tyres and maybe manual hubs .
