New Jimny owner

Looking good there irishguy.

Good to see you're enjoying the Jimny! Those Yokohama Geolandars were virtually new so you should be able to get a good few quid for them, and the spare wheel covers make good money on eBay too. I'm surprised you changed the oil - it had barely been in there a couple of months! Quite funny to see the Nokia kit showing battery and signal strength - it used to do that with with a Sony Ericsson we used to have, but wouldn't with our so-called smart phones!

Sorry to hear about the hubs. Last time I actually used the four wheel drive in anger was in snow in January 2013 - I'd just assumed it was working after that because the green light was solid the few times that I'd used it since.

looking forward to seeing further mods

and adventures

welcome aboard

I do the same with any new car, it's peace of mind .. & welcome our fine forum it’s good to have you join us ................

I have radio envy!! Love the Jimny - great colour, same as mine Looks like you got a great deal there and I hope you have fun with it. Can't recommend the forum enough - everyone has been really helpful when I have asked daft questions - which is reassuring.

Ive had a jimny as a second car fro past four years. Where was that hill shot taken. The most off roading mines seen is pretty much over fields

You've got access to some nice lanes there. Hardly anywhere off road available round here.

Looking good, let us know how it applies where did you get it from ? if you do put the carpets back in its a great time to put down a load of sound proofing

Oh and install rear speakers great upgrade to the sound in a jimny ( if you haven't got them already)

Ok then what do you do with your jimny then? Maybe you can get a rubber load liner from a van or something and cut it to shape so it protects those wires

Welcome. My second car is a 205 gti! I have installed an Mi 16 engine. I have owned a few of them now.

You are right I have had a 1986 and currently 1988 and no signs of rot. Such a shame jimnys rust especially when they are so capable in mud/snow. Yes we have lots of road salt here but not all cars suffer. Looks like you are well on the way to sorting that problem out though.
