Anyone got any experiance of Jimny's......

Is a Jimny just a Jimny or are there Jap & Spanish for parts Hell ?

What are the Axles Like (weak like a Vit or more SJ Like) have they got CV boots to shread ? Coil springs to snap ?

I see a few People selling "Bits" Are dealers helpfull ?

Anyone dumped a Vit 1.6 in one... how easy ?

You see there is a change a foot in the company car situation and I need a run a round.... an everyday, big wheeled, smile inducing toy / commuter and 413's are like rocking horse crap but Jimny's seem to be available for less than £ 2k..... It will get "Used properly"  :D so i don't want to take out a mortgage cause it might all end up roof deep in a ditch!

Jim-Willy:
My mate has a stock one we take laning, it is ok the main problems been it can't take anything like a decent size tyre.  The engine is a gutlees thing aswell and the gearing means on the motorway it is either rev the arse off it and sup fuel or go slow.

Thanks for that, Darren @ KAP has a lifted one on 31's and the m/way thing shouldn't cause issue, if its not round town, rs deep in mud then it'll be on its way somewhere with something like a defender to follow,

Anyone else?

rollazuki:
Ask Glaggs, He can get his Jimny where the proverbial 'castor oil' cant get
Theyre not gutless anyway, just need a little more pressure on the 'skinny' pedal eh!

Damon:
Jimnys are an excellent tool. :)

A mates daughter has one and did Bircham Newton this year, totally in "high range" by accident.

It's totally standard, with road tyres (and I do mean "road tyres"), she put a lot of modified stuff to shame.

They are basically an SJ with a fuel injected engine and coil sprung.  Get one :)
