Hello Cactus, and greetings from the Cotswold Hills

I've got a soft-top too - I even had the roof open today as we have a bit of November sunshine. I love it, but its not hugely practical to get stuff in and out of the back.

Good that you're getting this info; I've found tyre pressures are pretty critical - my neighbours get their Jimny serviced at a local garage who keep pumping up the tyres to pressures more in line for a car with low-profiles, its almost sent her into the scenery on more than one occasion!
I think they've got the message at last, after she had a pop at them about it :angry: :woohoo: :pinch:

Crikey - I didn't know it was that much of a problem.
I DO recall picking my Jimny up from the tyre fitting place that fitted my Yoko Geolanders last April and...
A day or so later, I diligently checked the pressures as these were new tyres and I just wanted to make sure they were staying inflated, and yes, the pressures were far too high!
