Hi, recently bought a cheap little Jimny. 1.3 Petrol 2001 88k
Ive not touched the engine apart from new plugs and ive got 2" suspension spacers on and bigger tyres (265/70/15) but im seriously struggling for top end power.
During off road and bottom end is fine but slight incline in the road and im fighting to keep it above 45mph! Motorway is an absoloute no go area for the little Jimny.
Never owned a Jimny but im just curious as to is it a common occurance or is it something i can fix?
Thanks.

Just noticed the tyre size.
If you're still on standard transferbox and ratio that's probably the cause of it.
Pretty massive tyres, which I'm guessing are remoulds.
