In the spirit of the Ronny Dahl YouTube videos I thought this would be a fun question to ask on here. What are your top 3 favourite mods that you have done to your Jimny, and why?

Also, bonus question, what modification (if any) do you most regret?

1) AVM Manual Hubs - 2WD sucks
2) 215/75 AT3s - ground clearance
3) 2" Lift (Trailmaster) - clearance and comfort

In terms of regret for me, it's probably my stainless exhaust. It made sense at the time, as my old one had rusted through, and it sounds very cool, but it's just a bit too loud on longer journeys. Great quality and good fun though.

2004 Jimny Mode: General Grabber AT3s (215/75/R15); Trailmaster 2" Lift; Jimnybits Snorkel; Jimnybits Front and Rear Recovery Points; Suntop Roof Rack; AVM Manual Hubs; Stainless Steel Exhaust System (SOLD)

1, 2" lift and 215/75/15 tires because it looks right.
2. Transfer box guard for piece of mind when belly down.
3, HD Transfer box mounts as the original ones are weak.

Regrets would be fitting Pro-comp dampers. Work well off road but to hard on road.

Best mod has to be the bfg urban terrain tyres, exceptional dry grip and not particularly bothered about snow and mud.
Next but equal are the avm hubs, reliable and simple with the benefit of 2x4 lo.
Then rear seat removal, so practical for working and quite astounding what will fit in the back.

One of the last 200ish of the gen3s, probably.
