Not gunna lie.. it did struggle a bit. Took a few run ups just to get up this little grass hill. Came very close to stalling a few times. Where might i be going wrong in terms of technique?
It terms of equipment.. definitley in need of some nobbley tyres !!
Thanks all !

This also caught me quite redhanded, being used to other cars. The key with the Jimny seems to be keeping your momentum and taking advantage of the light weight. Don't ride the clutch and don't use it to control the revs/engine, just use the accelerator pedal and give it enough "oomph" in order to carry you up the hill. Of course, be careful that you have enough stopping space at the top of aforementioned hill

I made a new topic on a more recent and exciting greenlaning trip.
www.bigjimny.com/index.php?option=com_ku...8&id=17460&Itemid=75
There's the link for those of you following this topic (and who might not have seen the more recent post)!
Thanks again.
