Jimny 2019 videos off road in South Africa

Saxj, you’ve probably already driven yours off road more and harder than most of us will ever drive ours here in the UK.

So, now that the honeymoon period has passed, any niggles appearing, any bits falling off, rubbing, going up in smoke, spewing fluids, etc etc...?

I've done over 6000km so far, it's pretty well put together. No rattles, my old one's back door, passenger door and passenger seat used to rattle. Not a murmur from this one. The radial arm mounts are just as vulnerable on this one as the old.
The 215/80R15 tyres just rub on the inner arches at full articulation.

Android Auto can be painful at times. E.g. If the person I want to call doesn't have a nice English sounding name, then it can be impossible to phone them. And irritatingly it stops you scrolling through lists if the car is moving.

Ah yes, I thought @saxj was from the Roam Overland channel, hence the age confusion! :laugh:

Ha ha, I have a little more experience than that young lad. I also like to play hard. Although I really enjoy the overland stuff too. (My previous Jimny)

There's a bit more than 30 kilos on the top there eh? :whistle:

Doesn't matter, as long as the original roof-rails have been removed and the aftermarket roofrack is mounted into the threaded fixing points, which appears to have been done.

It also had heavy duty coils in it. With all that load, the car just started to level out. So plenty of travel left in the coils.
