Jimny from Dorset Now with Carputer

Thaks every one, I got my wheels and tyres as a package from here www.4x4tyres.com/ and used Insa Turbo Dakar MTs They were very helpfull and the service was spot on.

Ok decided against buying a 2nd Jimny as I really needed something bigger so found a Cherokee for the right money its a bit different to driving the little Zuk :laugh:



With the change of plans my existing Jimny which has proved to be very reliable has started to be modded. Installed a CB with aerial on tailgate and I fitted a 2nd hand set of +2" springs which for some reason stuck the back up nearly 3" and the front 2" so fitted a pair of shims up front to get it sat level I fitted extended brake hoses and removed the anti roll bar. Its sat on the original Modulars and 205 MTs for now. The castor doesnt seem to bad, I think the lack of the anti roll bar has made the most difference, so may try correction bushes to start wit. Please so far with stage 1B)



Std Height


Post Lift just under + 3"

nice mods

also like the cherokee - is it a limited?

my wife wants a 4x4 to replace her ibiza - fancy a cherokee - either a limited or an 'extreme sport' as it will also make a good tow car to take the jimbob to bigjimny events :laugh:

Cheers

Re the Cherokee, I was looking at a Sports Extreme but you actually get more for your money in the Limited which I went for, I am really pleased so far, talk about value for money Mine is the 210hp V6 3.7L petrol which is unbelivebly quick and I can squeeze 20mpg round town which isnt the end of the world when I probably only get 25-28mpg from the Jimny. It also has a great 4wd system, RWD as standard, Full Time 4wd for the road (no axle wind up), and part time 4wd and 4wd low for off road.

We wanted a boot for camping trips and I will probably mod the Cherokee next year with a 2" lift and some bigger ATs ect for some gentle lanning

But I still love my Suzukis and you cant beat them for fun

3.7 petrol ! :ohmy:

ours would have to be a deseasel as my wife has a heavy right foot
when I asked her which one she preferred she said a blue one

Yes but the sound of the 3.7 V6 is lovley

Dont get a 2.5 diesel go for the 2.8 as the2.5s had major issues and as for Blue, I dont think you will match your Jimnys blue :laugh:
