I don't think you can really go wrong with any of the Jimny's. 40-50mm of lift, even spacers work OK, but the stock shocks don't last long in harsh conditions. 215/80R15 or 215R15C are a common and readily available size. Choose a mud terrain if you can. Deflate to .8 bar and you'll go places you couldn't imagine in a Cruiser or Land rover.

Thanks Venter, I might revert back to Japan, seems they have a good used car supply process. Might come back to the forum for info on how to improve the specs.

Hi Jack,
I am going to press the button for a 2004 model from Japan, the model code is TA-JB23W, it is a manual transmission,3 cyl Turbo Intercooler, not sure if that is OK, can you let me know if this model is OK or you have some knowledge that I should know, where I should avoid this?

You may have a hard time getting spares for that motor outside of Japan. Rather go for a 1300 model if you can.
