Hi cheers guys was quite a trip 
The caravan only weighs 550kg empty so pretty light. The mountain pass was called Sustenpass and is 2,200m Google it. Usually you wouldn't take a caravan over it especially behind a Jimny but a tunnel was closed and it was a long way round, had to use 1St low range at the top lol.
Switzerland was by far my favorite place but was so expensive we didn't stay long.
The one place we didn't visit was Col de Sommeiller the highest drivable point in the alps as we run out of time
(maybe next year)
The trip took just over 2 weeks to complete.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Looks great 
I bought a Puck this year, but I haven't tested it on the Jimny yet as the clutch is well past its best :dry:
I have fitted the 2wd low switch ready though

Hi Gurevich Its a petrol.

How to, we think it should work on a push-button transfer, but no-one has tried it AFAIK

I put my switch under the handbrake
I only bought the Puck right at the end of the Summer, and it never stopped raining, so I've not used it
it is under a little cover now, and half the upholstery is in the spare room. It still has the original yellow retro 60s style fabric
(It looks just like yours, and is a 1998)

Good luck on the restoration of the Puck I love mine did have to do a fair bit of work on mine as well but well worth it.
