To be honest the Jimny is very good in standard trim. The Geolanders are fine for most jobs.
My girlfriend has them on her one and manages to follow me most places offroad.

In the end i just head for deep mud, it seams to be the only thing that stops her. :laugh:

Probably all you need but if you wanted to do more maybe some kind of locker in the back would be the most practical in terms of not getting stuck but from what you've said if it's just tracks you'll be fine as is. Beware the mods get addictive!

Are you gonna use it much on road? Is it just for fun or work related?

You'll come a long way just by fitting a rear locker and getting some MT tyres. Consider BFG KM2 or Maxxis Trepador.

Also, if work related and driving many km's both on and offroad, consider getting an ARB air locker. More expensive than the cheaper Lockright. But much more comfortable.
