Hi All,

New to the forum. Just bought my self an 06 Jimny with 110k miles for 1600 pounds.

Few questions to ask.

What size wheels can I fit on this for all round use ion some off road?
Pretty sure it needs king pin bearings, is this a simple job?
The gear leaver is really sloppy. All gears drive done and the car drives well. What needs replacing?

TIA

Tom

You should try the search function.
Your question regarding tyres sizes is asked 2-3 times a week and comes with different answers depending on type of tyre, suspension, lift etc.

Hi and welcome
For sloppy gear stick you will need to buy 2x Austin mini exhaust bobbins.
Also check the rear engine mount which is on the rear of gearbox.
When you're under checking engine mount you will see the 2 rubber bobbins
All of the above are easy to change with basic tools
